well, chaps, i'm here now. and it's not nice at all. well, that's a fib, the people are lovely, and they're all really friendly and kind and fun to be with, and they cook me supper, but... the work is an absolute bastard. ok, i'm reading english, so i'd expect a bit of english work, but TWO THOUSAND WORDS OF A PHILOSOPHICAL ESSAY BY PROUST to translate into english... now that seems a bit fierce. anyway, i'm back on sinister, so i should be getting fun stuff from you to cheer up my days. god, it's such hard work here... maybe i should have gone to, i dunno, croydon college to read kite flying and makeup management. anyway, i haven't really got much else to say. people at cambridge must drink shitloads - i was boogying on down at the 70s/80s night last night, and i was called 'the man' several times. and ANYONE who has ever seen me dance knows that i'm very much not the man. in fact, i'm about as much 'the man' as isobel is. wasn't there all that discussion on the list a while ago about how 'the shit' means not shit in the states? so maybe all the students here are american, and so that's why... fuck, this doesn't make any sense, and i need to read dryden's essays... whatever anyone tells you, english students ARE NOT slackers - it's still freshers week, and we're all dying of exhaustion... anyway, enough of all this bullshit. the person i care about most on the list has already had to suffer it once today... i'm off. hopefully the work'll quieten down in a bit, and then i'll be able to be apposite and amusing again, love to all (and especially to the girl whose e-mail address i've left in my room (a way away), but i've been thinking of you not stop since we talked, and i haven't been able to work...)
