21st of August 2005

Well today is like the day of days. Its like everything just decided to happen today. Besides the phantom shiter striking for the first time this year, we also had a free bbq for dinner. Though questions were raised as to how the so many homemade hamburgers were acquired, but quickly silenced as we all go to hungry to ask. But our hunger wasn’t to be sated as the grill making our burgers caught on fire along with our burgers and covered the lawn where the bbq was in thick black smoke. We were fed in the end, albeit the burgers were a little charred, but it was made up by our hunger.

One thing that people have asked me, and I hate having to repeat stuff, I mean I suppose I could because I could just copy and paste the answer and no one would know. So each time people ask what it was like here, and where I was living, I could just copy and paste the answer, but I could just as well just post it up so no one even have to ask. Well it’s small and crap. And on the outside it looks like the Science block. I’m serious, very much like school this place is red, they insist on red bricks. It’s hauntingly eerie. It’s like I can’t escape, or have escaped but realized that the whole entire world is just a big ball of shit so moving anywhere makes no difference. Although, I hear things about a place called the Boiler in Morocco which sounds interesting. I think if I was ever going to make another mistake it would be there. Who can resist the urge to go to a city exclusively run by the scrum which exists as some utopian slum? Anyway let me further explain what this Wiley Hall is like. The corridors go for ages, takes like 5 min to walk to the other side at a nice leisurely corridor walking pace. The interior like all buildings make in the 70’s consists of a lot of laminating. Kind of like the floor to the science rooms back in school. My desk for the most part looks like it was made from the older seats from the Mem. Hall. The showers and the toilets are like the old changing rooms on top of the Glenn centre before they were demolished to make way for the new art department. Its kind of strange that I’m sort of landed in a place that’s just Scotch if it ever was a university. I mean everything’s red here as well, and most of the buildings have this very monastic feel about them. For now that’s all I can think of, if I remember and think of more I’ll write it up. One more thing, the woman’s toilets have narrow doors, I think that’s like a subtle way of saying no fat chicks.

Hey Charles, good to see your having a great time and that your english is improving in leaps and bounds. I hate to sound smug, but I could have told you college was like high school and saved you some money to fund a failed Guan led revolution. As for teachers waht do you expect from a bunch of individuals who never had what it took to cut it in the real world. Look on the bright side if Mr Taylor's attitude made you the best in school then think what a whole school of them could achieve (hey deep). Anyway I hope things improve and that you meet some independent poor kids, though remember where you came from and why you're not currently holding a riffle while looking at Guan's cousin over the straits. Anyway I have to work, at least for you that is easy.

Mmmmm! "The boiler" in Morocco... myth or fact?

There are a number of boiler manufacturers in Morocco but no places referred to as "The boiler".

However..."[a]nother recommended surf-spot is "Boilers" [my inverted commas - or for non Americans quotation marks], 8 miles north of Anchor Point [which, for the cartographers, is a short trip north along the Moroccan coast from Agadir] near an old graveyard (it takes its name from an old ship's boiler! [My exclamation point - or 'mark', again for the uninitiated in yank culture] left behind in the rocks.)" Well, well, well! The boiler did have a role to play, and in Morocco of all places!

By the way, if any of you are interested in travelling to Boilers - which I presume is why the yanks are on to it - "Surf contact is Laurent Miramon (Tel: 00 212 226 5054)." It sounds pretty chillin', to say the least - surfing in the Atlantic off the coast of Morocco. Not too many sharks attacks there either!

Gotta go, surf's up!
