Exams already smelling but still ...

This is probably the worst part of a semester to any student. It gets even 'better' for a Maseno University student who has notes of only half of his syllabus just because the elections got in the way. With news of exams being next week, unlike we previously hoped for a one more week allowance, everyone is now locked indoors absorbing knowledge. The cold and rainy season is also part of the motivation process. All the best in your exams guys.

On the same line of academics, impromptu CATs are also hell on earth for any student. If you've ever woken up at 7:15 am, got to the lecture hall at 7:45 am and then you were told that you 60 minutes CAT started at 7:10 am, then you know what i'm talking about. Curse Advertising II !! But a student gotta do what a student gotta do. *wink*

Let's get to the fun part, shall we. There will be a Maseno University Aids Control Unit sponsored event tonight at the GSQ from 6 pm to midnight I think. There shall be HIV testing and counseling, Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC), STI screening and treatment and most important of all, mad fun! You don't wanna miss that. Besides, it's free!

And finally, the Droid heads. I was snooping around some blog and came across this android app called Sidebar. It is basically a new way of multitasking on your android, a brilliant one I must say. Once installed, you have to configure it a little, to your own liking, and then you're ready to go. With this, you don't need a menu button on the screen or even the dock. You could hide it and leave your whole screen blank. The sidebar is hidden on any side of the screen that you chose and once tapped, it appears with your selected apps. You can navigate from one app to another with this side bar and it also doubles as a task manager. Go try it!
