Murano misery: Freshers stranded without wifi

Furious first years were caught short with deadlines yesterday when the WiFi in Murano Street Student Village stopped working.

The students were told by maintenance they had “no idea when it would be back up.”

Hailed as a shithole, this is one more thing to add to the list of the downfalls of mighty Murano.

All across the student village, those with deadlines tomorrow groaned in desperation, and with Netflix accounts were faced with the most terrifying dilemma known to the modern, first world man.

As one English Literature and Language student from Sidlaw described it: “We’re all crawling out of our caves because we don’t know what’s happening.”

Within moments, people from all the flats in the block were up, and we had to interact.

Thrilling stuff

Charades was brought out of the proverbial storage box that also holds good old-fashioned conversation and I-spy.

Other students, huddled together in a support system of general chatter said:

“It’s like freshers all over again, we’re all talking.

“It’s good fun.”

Egg Baseball, a dangerous sport

Others moaned about the exams coming up and how reliant we are on Moodle and (gasp) Wikipedia.

A particularly sullen Engineering student said there was no success in his normal evening activities; take it as you will, it’s exactly what you think.

And another said there weren’t even any distractions from the work that they should’ve been doing. All in all, a poor show of support for our undetermined return to the pre-digital age.

General feeling towards the loss of internet.

Maintenance stated that until the wifi returned, we might just have to grin and bear it. And talk to one another.

Somebody hold me.
