An internet connection for the first time in my life appeared out of the blue, only six days ago. I don't know how long it will be around, so I think I better make the most of it, even if the others don't. In honour of my (to be) short lived virtual freedom, I am starting a webblog. Real contact, with real people, outside the centre!
So, why do I have this sudden opportunity?
Well, Dr Toke was giving me some boring lecture about West vs East, the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, blah, blah, blah, and anyway, he had to look up some guy, so as usual, he pulls out his laptop. I didn't know this at the time, but it must have a wireless internet connection. I don't know why didn't work that out sooner - did I think that all the information he looks up was filed away on his hard disk?
Anyway, much to my complete delight, old Toke left it on the table when he went at the end of that class. I waited about ten minutes, to see if he would come back and get it, but he must have forgotten that he used it. So, I took it back to our sleep room. I thought it would be a great joke you know, poking around in Toke's files. But, then I found out he had an internet connection!
I've been on his laptop every spare moment since.
No one else seems as interested in it as me. Tom A said that we should give it back, because we'll get in trouble, but I managed to convince him that they'll never find it. A lie of course. I know they will. But I don't care. It's worth it. Don't you think so?
