Laramie and dreams of oxygen.
I am a Londoner that has spent most of his younger life in Portugal(well in Portugal or in boarding school wishing I was.), and am now in Laramie Wyoming studying. I am working on an interesting combination of two degrees, playwriting and finance. I don't like horses, i don't like cold, and as an asthmatic ex-smoker from sea level the altitude is hard to deal with. So as a choice of university U.W. is a strange one, it's at 7500 feet, and the air is pretty thin up here. In London i used to see oxygen bars and thought of them as the ultimate waste of money, here i dream of them, fantasise over them even. There's bars with scented oxygen, but i didn't need that, i just wanted good old fashioned plain oxygen to make up for the fact i have to take two breaths up here for one down there. Still, what little air there is is clear and 340 sunny days a year make up for a lot.
