The school library
The school library is the best thing that’s ever happened in the campus. Because we didn’t have a TV or a radio or a CD player or anything we could use for entertainment, life was so boring when we finished teaching every day. But thanks heaven, the library which was just a few steps away from our apartment came with internet-enabled computers. But there were so many students who wanted to use them too. So what we’d do was we got there before the library opened at 7 pm and made sure we got a computer that’s connected properly. Then Karoline, Jane and I would monopolize those computers until the libray closed at half past ten in the evening.
It was 2001 and the only thing I knew about internet was emails, news, and chatting. But we’re not allowed to chat in the library so we would just goof until we got bored.
Sometimes when the internet was not working then it would really be a very bad time and then I would resort to reading books. That was how life was with Karoline, Jane and me in the summer of 2001.
