a night on the sofas

there i was...happily wasting my time on the internet.doing nothing productive, when suddenly the lights flickered. at first i thought it was my microwaving potato. then i thought it could be because they don't know there ARE people on campus. but just as these thoughts zipped through my mind in that half a second, the lights stopped flickering, my potato still shrivelled, and my laptop seemed unaware of the momentary lapse its life source suffered. plus...i was amazed at how many things i could think about in half a second.
thinking no harm was done, i continued to watch videos on youtube. but alas...the worst has happened. the internet was down! *suspense filling music in the background*

i heard a distant scream of terror come from my neighbors room and assumed he had realised the worst. immediately i cursed the IT staff for wanting a vacation saying that i had important things to do online. like my much neglected work...yes...my work (*a soft tapping in the back of my mind n a small voice says, "dude...i think u hav an assignment to do" n it resonated through the empty quarters of my cranium*) i could hear the footsteps of my argentine flatmate shuffling faster than usual towards my door. n next the panicked knocking
on my door. i opened it to find him gasping "internet--not---work---bored---no point---to life---suicide--"

well..after a few moments of trying to comfort him, we decided that we should go down n complain. but we were so lazy that we decided to just bitch about it to each other. then we played pool. soon we found out that there is WiFi in the porter's lodge, which gave us enough motivation to get off our asses n give our chairs time to breathe... so here we are...on a nice red comfy sofa, online again, wasting our time, neglecting the work the little voice in my head just claimed i had, content that the only verbalising we need to do is coughing n the occassional 'yea?'. ahh we are content... oh here's nahuel with his sleeping bag. a night on the sofas for him
