Let's paint a bull's eye on Queen's Tower, aye?

DSP coursework - compiled, proof read and printed an entire day before the deadline! Boy do I feel a smug look coming on.

In other news, I will be in Chicago on the 15th, then in New York on the 20th, then (fingers crossed) at Harrods during the boxing day sales with my hands on a good coat. Who says one can have too many coats? One cannot have enough coats in a lifetime. Nor boots.

Anyone noticed that Imperial College has been in the lime light recently? For all the wrong reasons! Thanks to the Rector's ban on hoodies, face veils and scarves that hide ugly braces we've become a nationwide controversy! We even appeared on the evening news! Everyone loves a good scandal.

Now it's not like anyone's really abiding by the new draconian laws. Sure the security guards tried to stop me once for not wearing my ID tag. But how much harm could I have caused? I was trying to leave the grounds, not get in! But that was just an isolated incident and since our own campus shop sells hoodies with the IC name proudly stitched on, no one's really bothered.

Except for the bunch of amnesty international and other monkeys from jobless human rights societies. There they were, right outside the Faculty building, protesting and waving placards calling the Rector out on account of Islamaphobia and Hijab-phobia and what not. And here we were in German class trying to understand genitive cases and adjectival nouns and not being able to hear a word of it due to the inconsiderate shouting outside.

Now, I think it's incredibly immature and petty. The rules were enforced two weeks ago. And it's taken 2 weeks to round up enough protestors? Come on, why wasn't this done when the bun was still fresh out of the oven? Most students don't seem to be affected by it, let alone feel strongly about it. My Malay friends, in headscarves nontheless, aren't the ones running around with placards. In fact they're pretty passive about the whole thing. After all it was a rule disallowing the wearing of hoods which hides the face from security cameras in the event of a break in or theft, which has been plagueing our halls and campus offices recently. No one even brought up the topic of banning headscarves.

But along come the do-gooders. Making something out of nothing. I personally think all this attention we're drawing is making us the perfect target for a terrorist bombing. Way to go Imperial. It's not like we don't have all the stuff to make our own bomb right here on campus!
