Exploring the campus with Diana, a quote
Well, I still haven't met my real Gramática or Grammar teacher. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have English Literature of the 20th Century, English Grammar and then Spanish Grammar. On Monday the 22nd I missed the first class and then joined the wrong groups of the subjects I had, and Wednesday 24th was Bank Holiday. This week both the Grammar and Gramática teachers have been ill, which means I've only had 1 lesson on each day, except for yesterday, so far, and that I won't have class on Friday as it is an English Grammar practical lesson and the class must be divided in groups. I should be happy about not having classes but it's barely the beginning and I'm starting to get a bit worried...
As I didn't have 2 classes today one of my classmates (Diana) and I went marauding around the campus. It's quite big I must say. Earlier the Literature teacher told us that the architect who designed it was a specialist in prisons. The campus was placed in a valley so the pro-Franco police could surround it easily if there were student demonstrations and stuff against the dictatorship. When we passed the Translation Faculty we saw adverts for an Erasmus party tomorrow in a club near my place, might go if I find someone to go with...
This silly thing should allow you to put several moods. I may be worried about something, happy about something else and cross about yet another thing, I'm a moody creature.
Can't remember who said (his surname began with 'Blooming' or was it Bloomenberg?) "people want to live more but they don't know for what" (sorry if it's dodgy, had to translate it from Spanish). I completely agree with that. Now that we have so much leisure and don't work to survive we live for longer but what do we do in our last years? I'm not down but I still think I do not want to die when I'm very old in a hospital, I'd rather live to the full and die young. The thing is that I'm too attached to my easy commodity to go away and run off to a place without internet, for example, and have a more active and fulfilling life. For some reason two things crossed my mind as I was writing this:
- Bastard's monologue on commodity from "King John" (I think). "Mad world! Mad kings! Mad composition!..."
- "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. Especially the "Here we are now, entertain us" line.
I hope there are other people around who can see the connection so that I don't think that it is I, and not the kings and the world, who/which is mad...
