social classes


there seems to be a huge distance from one student to the other in relation to where they live in the student residence.
there are the aristocrats, they live in an area unexplored so far, but their status is undeniable as they have toilets. their building is called Arches and it looks like a sunken ship with glass on it. You rarely get to see the people that live there, cause mainly they don't mingle with the lower classes. i only know one guy from there, and he has infinite power over the wireless network, so i will try not to say bad things about him.;)

then, there is the middle class, represented by the "good buildings": D, E, F, G, H
students here go about daily chores, shop in carrefour or leader price, sometimes go to church on sunday, and always greet people that they cross in the hallway.

i have absolutely no idea where the buildings A, B, C and I and J are. probably somewhere in plain sight...

there is another section of the residence called vieux fort, but i have never seen anyone going in or out from there.

and then there is the lower class. buildings K and L. outside the residence walls, with scratched paint and rust traces. with no frigos in the kitchen and windows that don't really close. yucky paint on the walls.
anyway, those that live here are a constant reminder of their misery. actually, the place is not so bad, but just the thought that there are people that have better rooms drives them mad. when they meet someone, their first question is "from which building are you?". if you happen to live in a different building than K or L, be sure that they will treat you as the enemy...

lucky me, i'm the enemy!
