Sinister: it's a scary scary place...

[M.J.M. Omond]

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...)
