The year that was 2011 in KMTC Nyeri...Agenda 2012

Well, I don't have to tell you all exactly what transpired the whole year because I believe you all witnessed it like I did. Basically, the year started with a few shakeups.

There was the opening of the new Cyber unit, which personally I think was a great thing, except that the limitations being embedded on the users are quite unbelievable. Personally, I can't handle a computer without downloading a few things onto my flash-disk, especially notes now that I have 'grown up'. But the issued of refusing the usage of flash disks, at because a whole COLLEGE can't afford a long-term licence for an antivirus...is a let down in itself. Anyway, I have a whole article about that coming on soon.

The other thing that I witnessed are the low number of freshmen that were admitted. I expected more, but I think that the College facilities would not contain such a large number of admissions as there was previously. To you first years, I know it's late, but

                      "Welcome to the one and only Mighty Kenya Medical Training College-Nyeri. This will be your home for the next couples of months, years or even more years if you don't get your compass directing you properly. Yes, have fun, intermingle, socialize and do all that, but remember this is a MEDICAL CAMP and one mark in the exams means more that just 49%. If you still think you are in the wrong place, wait till you know were BL, Bells, New Links, White Rhino and of course Batian are. For classy ladies, I suggest Meat World or Kenchic for chicken delicacies. We also have a few prestigious places in Nyeri you might want to visit before you leave; Green HIlls and Outspan, being some of them. Nyeri is a place of its own, and you can take a walk round and round without without getting bored. But pleeeaase, you don't know the 'panya-routes', then I suggest you come to college early (as good students) and avoid such places as Ungems and Majei. Believe you me, you don't wanna know how I lost my phone."

 I hear we have a new building coming up very soon, in readiness for the nest intake. That's good. Hope it eases the congestion we have. I don't know exactly what they will be building, but I pray that they get a better library for those who will come after us.

One sad thing that 'again' happened this year is that we lost one of us. What makes it more bizarre is that the student was from the same department as the one we lost in 2010. Not going into sooooo much details, as it is in the tradition of this college, we sent delegates who gave him a good send off. REST IN PIECE Bro.

NOW TO THE REAL THING!

Every since this blog was grounded, a few thing have begun going back to the way they were. I now here the principal doesn't listen to people we chose as our leaders, and treats them as trash. She can only negotiate with people she chooses to, and will not for people she doesn't regard as leaders. Weell, that her own mindset, and we might never change it. But, there are a few things that she must be told about this College and we will tell them to her once more. This we will do in sequences of our up coming articles. Probably the one that you don wanna miss is the one featuring the deteriorated lavatory situation in Block B.

We have a newer and different agenda of the content that we will be posting here, but diversion from the issues in this college, is what we will emphasize most. I think I have been writing too much, you guys.....HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012. See you then!

Fire Scare in KMTC Nyeri!

Tuesday 31 May 2011. The time is 8:30am. The fire broke out in the Female's hostel a.k.a Block A. Cause of the fire was said to be a heater which one of the girls left on (which I really doubt as this is not possible because normally the main switch of the residential places is usually turned off at 8:00am, which was the case during this incident), others said cigarette. mmmm might be! whatever the cause.....

The good news is that, no one was injured physically, but psychologically, I saw some two ladies crying. We didn't get access into the interior, but the huge smoke from that room could suggest that some few thing must have been fully consumed by the fire. The blaze was however contained by the college's machinery before it caused more damage. Nyeri Fire Services arrived minutes later, something that impressed me, comparing to the slow responses we get from the Nairobi one. The OCP and the rest of government crew checking in there after with the College principal.

Meeting Today!

The time is 1400h GMT+3 East African Time today, and we'll be having a meeting with the principal and administration according to the circular on the noticeboards. All Students, Lecturers and HODs of KMTC Nyeri are expected to attend this meeting.

The agenda of the meeting is unknown, but I guess it nothing that serious. Hope one of the agendas is to officially usher us into the new Cyber Room (guess work), but each and every happening will be fully tweeted and you can follow each and every speech and update on twitter as it happens, follow now @KMTCnyeri! http://twitter.com/KMTCnyeri

I will also post a fully review of what the meeting was all about, minutes after it's over. Stay tuned!

Please "compensate" our players

I wanted to write this long time ago, but time everything caught up with me, so here we are. I'm writing this early enough before the games resume next week. I believe in every little someone does to an institution should receive some kind of appreciation. That includes what our tireless sportsmen and women do on the pitch for this great institution. Some go in full force, and in the long run get injured, just to make sure that we have the trophies for this college. But what do they receive after doing everything that there is in participating and winning trophies? From what I saw last year, it was just a few claps and that's it. 'They' will say "you did well, and we would like to encourage others especially the first years to join various games." then the players will be given the trophies to take photos with, after which the trophies will be returned to the games office....and you will remain with those pictures. chapter closed.

My issue here is not to get lots of money into the participants pockets, but just a little bit of appreciation of what they undergo when they are on the pitch. From my little knowledge of psychology, this can act as a prime motivator into winning many more trophies for Kenya Medical Training College, Nyeri campus.
