Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more

Yet another semester is pressing to make its debut.  Ten more days to go.  How will it turn out?


Once more unto the breach, dear friends.  So welcoming, so peaceful now.  Just wait ten days, and all hell's gonna break loose.

This morning I passed by a privately-run off campus student housing complex.  U Ottawa has gotten so big (over 50,000 now) that there aren't enough housing on campus.  So a lot of private enterprise have set up shop to house the students.  Some are converting old office buildings into 24-hour concierge setups.  Like this one below:




Well, this building is still broadcasting Fall move-in.  OK, school starts in 10 days.  What do you think?  Does it look like it will be ready by then?  Don't hold your breath.  If I were a student booked into this thing, I'd be really worried now.  See all the scaffolding and shit?

And idiots out there still insist that private industry is ALWAYS more efficient.  What can I say...
