Well, looks like it's goodbye to Eusoff Hall now.

I don't have enough points; not for lack of trying though. I had tried to join committees in my first semester here, but they're not too keen on taking in the Year 3s, unless the Year 3s are already seniors with experience or whom they've worked with before.

I don't really blame them; Year 3s have more academic workload than the Year 2s and 1s after all, and there's also the fact that some of those Year 3s are likely to be graduating-- they might not have that much time to commit to Hall activities.

But I'd been hoping that I might still be able to secure a room if I joined Rag Wardrobe and helped Shazzy out since she's the Rag Wardrobe Mistress now. It wouldn't be too difficult for me either, since even though I'm not intending to stay over the holidays, I still live fairly near school and my French module during the Special Term is going to have me coming back almost everyday anyway.

But.. the JCRC sent out an email to all those who're appealing, and it says that we need to reject any other accomodation offers that we've recieved and put ourselves on OSA's Waiting List. And then, while EHOC (Eusoff Hall Orientation Committee) members will be given priority, if we do get accepted back, we'll still need to sign a kinda contract detailing what contributions we'll make to the hall in the coming academic year.

Note the "IF".

And there's the fact that I'll be in Year 4 next academic year-- the thought of having to commit to more things in such a crucial year made me seriously stop to think.

I've already been offered a place at Ridge View because the Sports and Recreation Centre sets aside 100 rooms in RVR for school athletes. And while I don't really like the old blocks (which are the blocks whose rooms we're given), the rooms themselves aren't too bad; pretty much the same size as Eusoff's rooms.

I'd been trying to get back into Eusoff coz I like their rooms better, and I think the surroundings are better too; RVR is a little too near to vegetation for my liking, and what's more, Eusoff is much nearer to Arts than RVR is.

Then I thought about the fact that most of the girls in the long wing on my floor are actually moving away to other blocks next year; even if I do come back to Eusoff, I might not wind up back in my block, and I most likely won't even be with the same people.

In contrast, if I were to move to RVR, about half the archery club will be there.

So thus, I made my decision.

Ridge View Residences and my fellow archers, looks like I'll be with you guys next sem. :)
