My Grey World

Ever since the start of this new academic year, SMU students have been screaming out loud that they don’t have a place to study. Please lah. We have hundreds of Group Study Rooms along with hundreds of Seminar Rooms and Classrooms and we can’t book any??? The best we can do is to book one week ahead.

Some say it’s because of the dragon baby boom… (meaning, there are many 1988-born people, who are dragons in chinese zodiac, in school now)

So they turn into some other places to study or hold a meeting. The most frequently used is maybe the Student Lounge, which is often wrongly dubbed as “IS Lounge” since it’s placed in SIS (School of Information Systems).

Some are stuck in open area with some tables and some chairs… Well practically anywhere that has table/chair.

However, few days ago I found something really peculiar..

I found a group meeting in… A storeroom! The Arts and Cultural Centre’s Storeroom. Like, seriously? Storeroom?

At first I thought it was a meeting regarding the ACC.. TUrned out it was not..

Well I’m not that evil to post the photos.. Even though my friend did get the photos of them.

Maybe next time I shall hold my meeting in a toilet. Maybe a disabled toilet since it has bigger space?

Sigh.
