Mallroy's bathroom sink fell off the wall as someone was showering, here are the results. FYI when you use the sink to the other bathroom across from it, water spews from these open pipes ! The sink was repaired earlier yesterday only to have it fall in the middle of the night again.

Here is the video , taken two days ago.

A new place to live

Lately I have been looking at apartments in and around my college. The cost of living on campus currently exceeds the cost to live off campus and as a result have come to agreement with my family that next year I will be living off campus.

I like it here in the suburbs of Boston, a place I could survive and perhaps thrive for another few years. My initial thoughts of remaining up here were negative, but since this year, I have been much more involved on campus and that has change everything for me. The progress I am making here while being in SGA Senate for just a month and a half has been great. There is much more work to be done, but good things are happening.

A one bedroom apartment with living room , dining area , fully appliance kitchen with washer and dryer in apartment itself comes to around $1,100. The cost to live on campus, not including the fines one may occur for others stupidity throughout the year comes to at the very least $1,333 a month. The only difference is being up here 12 months out of the year instead of 9. I am looking for a place in and around my college, but plan to find a real estate agent by February.

I will update with another entry this weekend ... As I end meetings this week with many new results expected.

Getting things done

So much has gone on since I have last posted an entry on here. I have made significant improvements with the campus dining hall, meeting with the new director for the contracted food service. I meet with him once every two week with the newly formed dining committee. We are slowly improving food selection and how it is served etc.

I am the liaison between Public Safety and SGA , as I know all the officers etc. I work with them to address student concerns regarding Public Safety on campus etc. Along with that I am on a campus wide committee that meets once every few weeks that discusses campus safety, that most of the head administration attends as I represent the student body as the one SGA senator at it.

I also have lobbied for a more diverse political science curriculum on campus.I have worked with departments heads etc to provide a bigger variety of courses regarding both government and history which will go into effect beginning Fall Semester 2007.

I also have started a new committee for SGA regarding the funding and grants department. SGA will soon meet with that department and make recommendations to them based on student needs and input towards how federal and state grant's are prioritized.

Other then that, academically all is well as midterms are over. Thank god. I am heading back home by mid November for Thanksgiving break , how ever the dates are not set yet.
