Math/Computer Science, Where Art Thou All Bran?

For those of you who don’t know, I’m in a computer science class.

This means that I’m in the Math and Computer building (MC) for part of my days.

Today, of all days, I noticed something.

It’s late in the semester, students have been away from home for a few months now, and midterms are just over with. That means that people, obviously, aren’t meeting dietary requirements.

Math and computer students, because of the difficulty of their programs, especially.

This became shockingly obvious to me in the most unlikely of places.

I was in the washroom, waiting for a stall. In this particular washroom, on this particular floor, there are three such stalls. When I came in, all three were occupied. 5 minutes later, the same 3 were occupied by the same three people. Wow. One of them must’ve taken pity on me or something, because a stall cleared out! I rushed in to relieve myself. By the time I emerged, the other two had STILL not moved from their births. In fact, a quick glance at the stalls revealed what appeared to be homework spread about. How long do you figure you’ll be when you pull out HOMEWORK in a public stall?

I’m thinking that I should be suggesting, on the basis of human rights, that all bran bars be handed out in all mathematics and computer classes. For the rights of those held captive by their poopie, and those whose poopie is held captive waiting for a stall.

Maybe I should CC: the UN on this one too, they seem to be gung-ho about human rights… Besides, I’m sure a few people actually work at the UN, and they know what it does to one’s diet, I can see it now: Blue bullet-proof vested UN solders descending from helicoptors to rush into the math and computer buildings (and the engineering buildings too, lest the mathies resist the reforms to their gastromic goof, their dietary debacle, and decide to temporarilly relocate), seeing the effects of malnutrition, asking for the world’s help with stopping this starvation….

Hey, I like free food; if this is what it takes to get it than so be it!
