April 12/11

Sooo, my only exam is today. In like, an hour and a half... ish.
So, I've decided to quit studying... because it's too soon to the exam to remember it anyway.
Read this, though:

"Work Out at the Trent AC All Summer for Only $75
Apr 12, 2011 3:24 pm by Communications
Special summer membership rates give you full access to all indoor and outdoor facilities and programs
Staying in Peterborough for the summer? Get a membership at the Trent Athletics Centre and continue working out at the city’s best fitness and recreation facility all summer long.
Special summer membership rates are now in effect. A four-month term membership is only $75 for students. This rate applies to all students who are 18+ years of age. Got a friend coming home for the summer and want to work out together? This special rate applies to them too!
Our special summer term memberships are in effect from May to August or June to September, 2011.
Your membership will also get you special rates on our exciting new summer programs, including canoeing, Nordic pole walking, and more!"

Fun, right? In case you haven't been keeping up with Trent, they "upgraded" (moved all their old equipment in to a new room, and built a climbing wall and an 'indoor canoe') for 4 million dollars, which the students paid an extra levy into for four years.
Let me explain why this is interesting to me: I've already paid for it, the most recent graduates have already paid for it, and now, to use it: We have to pay for it. Interesting.
Very interesting. You know, if I wanted to pay to go to a gym, I'd a)pick a good one, and b)pick one that isn't at my school that I just paid to have built.

Way to go, Trent. No wonder so many people drop out, get knocked up, or commit suicide. Because out of all of the employees there, I've met two, maybe three helpful ones. Even the lunchladies hate their jobs. Seriously. Not a good environment.
