Smuel's good morning extravaganza

Good morning.

Why's everybody doing?

 

I'm doing fine/anyone who will take me/just because I can, thanks very much.

Good evening.

Good evening.

On a completely unrelated note to timely greetings, for that last couple of weeks I've been doing a placement at my university which requires me to "benchmark" (an annoyingly corporate word which essentially means compare) the policies of other universities against my own. Someone else on my scheme chose to do their arbitrary placement in a cake shop (it's not allowed to be science related, moronically), so I think I really missed a trick, but getting to the point...

I've had to look through the policies of the top UK and international institutions (which pretty much means American universities, Oxford, Cambridge and Tokyo). Whilst perusing the fine University of Stanford, I found this rather creepy organisation.

They're supposed make sure students are "staying on track to resolve issues and problems" which sounds reasonable enough, but how they manage to make sure their students are okay is extremely suspect; they arrange "'welfare checks'" (that's right, they themselves put the term in quotations - nothing says legitimate like putting your own terms in quotations) which seems to amount to unannounced spot checks of wherever your living - on or off campus. They also invite staff and students to report on their peers if they suspect a problem, and some of their warning signs seem fine (decline in quality of work, frequent absences, etc.) but others are way off the mark ("inappropriately dark humour" and "changes in appearance")! It really just seems like they're the secret police of the campus, even if it is for the supposed good on the student - I guess they just can't stand failure due to personal reasons.

I thought it was interesting anyway, I would have made a separate thread about it but I hate those douchebags who make pointless unwarranted threads for no particular reason. What dicks!

 

Good afternoon.

On a completely unrelated note, good afternoon.

 

Good Morning. I think that we neglect other Good times of day in this thread.

 

Y-ye...NO. Like anyone is that afraid of offending periods of the day...Good Morning.

 

Good morning, and remember...

JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS!!!!

 

Good morning.

In the interests of cultural diversity, remember...

The real meaning of Easter is springtime fullmoon fertility festival fuckfest.

 

Greetings and salutations on this fine demonstration of another terrestrial cycle.

...or maybe not, as Buddha says "Life is suffering."

 

Guess who's back, back again.
Xyle is back, tell a friend.
Guess who's back, guess who's back.
Good morning, good morning.

 

That Xyle bot back again is it?

 

I find myself somewhere I do not wish to be at an hour I do not wish to be awake at. Please kill me.

Also, good morning.
