It’s 1.12 pm and I’m recovering from a bout of major blah-ness and a bad cold by sitting in CCD with a chicken sandwich and a hot cup of coffee. What I was not expecting (foolishly) was the screaming and shrieking coming from Mount Carmel College across the road!
They’re playing an interesting assortment of hip hop and funk, and about five seconds into each short clip of the song there’s a surge of “wooooOOOO**OOOOOOOOOO**OOOOOOOooooo” noises, chanted by at least a hundred teenage girls in chorus. The frustrating part is, from what I can see of the campus, there are a bunch of people sitting around silently watching the place where the noise is coming from.
I used to be one of those people who sat on the sidelines and sneered at the lowbrow goings on. Suddenly though, I really want to know what all the screaming is about! Is there a movie star in there? Is someone doing breathtaking stunts? Is there a man stripping off??
I don’t wish I was back in college, but sometimes I do wish I’d been a bit more interested in the fun crowd-pulling events as well. At least then I wouldn’t be sitting here staring at the college walls like one of the jobless boys that hang about here in Loafers’ Lane!
