In retrospect, I suppose it seems a little spooky, having a non-anonymous blog, where everything you write can be traced back to you. It kind of limits your ‘freedom of expression’. My last few blogs have been limited to outside audiences (mainly anonymous), and another one for family and friends. So this is a rather new experience for me. Accountability results in self-imposed limits on expression; you can hardly make not-so-flattering comments about a certain incident (not that I have any), with the possibility that those involved may read it.

It is like revealing your personal journal to the world, and thus, we try and be as impersonal as possible. So, onwards to this week’s little bundle of aggregated news for your viewing pleasure.

‘I love MUNDays” session of events are coming up (Oct 23-27), and we’ll be sure to see lots of the various events around campus.

Memorial’s President, Dr. Axel Meisen is stepping down from Presidency to take up post as the chair of foresight with the Alberta Research Council, and the University is urged, once again, to reduce waste.

From the campus paper, The Muse, SHS Chief Physician Dr. Norman Lee has been strongly recommending the addition of a psychiatrist to the medical services the University provides.

Halloween is coming up, and we see cool events such as the Haunted Hike and the Harbor Haunt. Should be an interesting time to be had by all. And speaking of Haunts, while checking the website for the Harbor Haunt, they apparently thought it was spooky to play a scary sound. Unfortunately for me, my headphones were connected and turned to near-max from where I was using the speakers. My poor ears may never recover…much less my nerves.

Till later,
Aaron

On a side, if somewhat morbid note, isn’t this just touching?
