My two flatmates are recluses. I’ve spoken to each of them twice in the last week. The first is a PhD biology student from Norway who doesn’t speak much German, but he gave me a can of beer when I first arrived, so he’s okay.
The second is a short, middle-aged German called Jürgen who walks about with an inadequately buttoned-up shirt. The first thing he said to me, after telling me his name, was ‘If you have a can, it goes in the white bin,’ pointing at the black bin. Then I saw him this morning. He said ‘hello’, I said ‘good morning’, and that was it.
The kitchen floor is also really squeaky. It has a lino covering, but the floorboards beneath squeak like crazy. It’s like walking about on the face of a giant angry mouse.
I need to go to the university library this afternoon, which will be exciting since I’ve never used it before. I get confused in the main university building because it reminds me so much of York campus.
The University of York
The University of Vienna
It's strange - York Uni looks a lot better than....than in fact it actually does, and Vienna University looks like it's got dodgy foundations from some rock concert, way back.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny what you can tell from a photo.
The University of Vienna looks amazing, are there ducks in that pond?
ReplyDeleteThat's not the University of Vienna, that's the house you shared in the third year, I remember we trashed the stairs by riding down them on frying pans and shit.
ReplyDeleteI was drunk the entire third year, either drunk or off my head on crack. Crack I bought off Clay.
