LIP - the serious students' paper

After more than a month of blogging, I thought I could start doing some "serious writing". This is why I yelled at Tracy: "Wanna write for the LIP!" Tracy is the editor of the students' paper, and I yelled at her not because I wanted to make an impression (which I certainly would have done even without screaming, don't you think?), but because the music around us was so loud. "Ok, have your article by Monday!" Ehm - I actually didn't mean to be involved that quickly. What should I write about anyway? "Try to write about MIC from the international point of view", Tracy suggested. "Encourage people to go away for an exchange year too!" I see, I need to emphasise how happy we all are at MIC. Why the hell is happiness so important here? When I began my course "Basic Media Production", we watched a film made by some fourth year BA students. Title: "Why are we Irish so unhappy?" Slight traces of self-pity, I'd say. Gosh, YOU chose this island. Get over it. And for heaven's sake: get organised! Would save you a lot of trouble. Have you heard of any university before where timetables are actually fixed in the first week of the semester?! Seminars start in week 3 or 4 - it takes time to divide students into different groups, after all!

"You can write something negative about the weather and the country", Tracy said graciously, "but nothing negative about the people." I see, censorship. Imposed by whom? Ms Umbridge? Or are the students here trained for self-censorship?!
Anyway. I'll write under any conditions. Most important thing is that I get serious at last.
