As Uni's numbers bounce back from last week's first major wave of flu-related absences, let us refrain from dwelling on the nasty specifics of swine flu. Instead, let us focus our efforts on sprucing up the aura of this horrid malady.

I personally think I'm a fairly unique person. At the end of the day, with all due respect to the extensive vocabularies of my family and friends, I absolutely believe it's a nightmare to dwell on this sort of thing. It's not rocket science, this study of words, but at this moment in time, I shouldn't of gone on such a tangent.

Many students could tell you that, as a subbie, Uni students may take either French, German, Japanese, or Latin. That’s great: for the students who get their first choice of language. But what about those students who don’t get their first, second, or even third choices? And what about those students who want to take another language, such as Spanish, but their grade restricts it?
