To begin, I would like to say hello to my brothers and sisters who share in my love of senseless and jolly complaint making. And secondly, I would like to mention parking.Now, all things considered, I believe it would be a fair statement to say that the parking situation at Skyline College has been less than optimal over the years. Sure, it is true that it will get better as the semester goes on, a fact usually associated with some of our less than serious or intellectually inclined students dropping classes while they can still get a refund. The fact remains, however, that parking can almost be considered an Olympic sport here on campus, especially for those of us who have a hard time understanding the concept of an alarm clock.Facts that are obvious to some I find can often be oblivious to others. So without any further leading on, I shall make clear my actual complaint that is the focus of this piece: construction. Or more accurately, the parking situation brought upon us due to said construction.The latest in Skyline’s renovation projects is no doubt going to be a great expansion for this fine institute of higher education. However, for the current situation we are dealing with, it is, in a word, annoying. Perhaps we would not have such an issue on our hands except for the fact that, with all the efforts made by the administration here on campus, the student body cannot seem to handle the fact that walking may be a necessary evil in the fight for a higher education. To those of you who feel this way, I have but two words: stop complaining.Now as those of you who know me normally, I wouldn’t go to such great lengths as to say stop complaining, but in this situation, I think it is acceptable to make an exception for the sake of the human race.Quite honestly, there is far more parking on campus than is needed for everyone wishing to attend to find a space in a timely manner and get to class on time. A temporary lot has been opened across the street from building 5, or perhaps that’s too far to walk from also.In my hardly humble opinion, I would like to openly state that the student body here at Skyline has become a very large group of very lazy and deficient whiners, hopelessly tossing their useless and pathetic complaints about finding a place to put their car to an administration that probably neither cares nor has the power to do anything about the situation as it now stands.This is not to say that everyone on campus fits this description. I do not intend to insult everybody; just those that deserve it and believe me try as you might to deny it, you all certainly know if this piece is directed towards you.Now imagine this for a moment, if you will. You are walking across an empty parking lot. It is cold and it looks as if it is about to rain. As you continue forward, you notice very few cars left in the lot. It looks as if everyone left in a hurry and you aren’t sure why. Suddenly, you realize you’re at your car, but you haven’t been walking for very long at all. It is at this moment that you realize that classes have ended and all the other students have gone home. Thinking back on your experience you come to the realization that parking is not that far from campus after all. Now wake up look around. Where are you? I’d be willing to bet your sitting somewhere on the Skyline campus, probably not too far from the location of your car. After all the complaining and the whining about how hard it is to find parking, you realize that there is plenty of parking that you didn’t want to know about because you didn’t want to have to park an extra 20 feet from the campus grounds.So, until Skyline takes the time to invent, install, and make fully operational a science fiction-like matter transporter, capable of moving people, and objects across vast distances in mere nanoseconds (with very little chance of conflict involving people getting body parts mixed up with one another while traveling at the same time to different locations) perhaps we should just accept that walking is not the biggest of deals in this world and will certainly not hurt you in the long run.Signing off for now, I am the Accordion Cowboy and this is what I’m mentioning.
