I recently received a spate of emails, the gist of which being “I don’t mind the less frequent blogs as long as they are as [insert compliment here] as the last one.” My response to this is, of course: are you sure you have the right email address?

Seriously, though, it’s nice to know there are still some good things to say, and that I still have something to contribute to all of you.

Right now, I’d like to take just a moment to acknowledge and thank all the people who have been putting in time and energy so far above the norm to make all of our lives richer and more entertaining. From the people organizing the graduation trip, to the Cabaret Committee and performers (you can’t understand how sick I am to have missed it), those making and sharing movies, or throwing amazing parties like Montmelian and Africa’s Rumble in the Jungle, to National Week (and Day!) teams, and yearbook ninjas, we are all so much richer for the time, effort, and talent that you (and the people like you I’m too tired/addled to remember) have shared with us. I will miss this spirit and energy greatly, but I hope it doesn’t go away, but merely spreads itself around the world touching many more people as it goes.

Now, I know that sounds pretty fluffy, and so, while all the above is entirely sincere and heartfelt, I want to get one rant off my chest which I’ve been meaning to unload since pre-Math week: What the fuck is the deal with the bathrooms’ abysmal odor? I can’t speak for the ladies’ rooms, but the men’s rooms, particularly those in the bar, south wing, and library, have completely surpassed even the norm for an urban bus station in terms of inexplicably foul odor. I just don’t get it….I really, honestly believe that the right student, on the wrong day, could be dissuaded from attending this school by that factor alone. I think they need to have a word with the Singapore sanitation staff to figure out a new strategy, because what we’ve got going on over here is just not cool.

Oh, and of course PLEASE WATCH, RATE, FAVORITE, SHARE, AND GENERALLY ENJOY "The Tent People of INSEAD" \
