    Title : trivial pursuit: accommodation results
    Time : 11:15 pm

    Earworm: A Thousand Miles~~Vanessa Carlton

    I checked the results around quarter past 12 on 23 June. Yeah I am a ganchiong person. And to my disbelief I saw PGP there. shit. Then came LH's call that he got Sheares, and with the knowledge of each additional person getting into the same hall, I felt more crushed every time. I don't know why I have this seemingly illogical need to be in a hall. Maybe it's by warped perception that it is cooler to be in one. and I've heard people say that nerds stay in PGP and just shut themselves up there. I was fretting and fretting and couldn't catch much winks. My parents seem unperturbed when I told them this and just asked me to make the best of it, which naturally made me more upset.
    Early in the morning I was surfing channels on Astro and saw a horrible video by Paris Hilton called Stars are Blind. Dad walked in and asked why I was up so early. And asked about whether I was still disappointed and somehow when he tried to comfort me with his previous experience at UM hostel where 1st year its better to adjust and concentrate on studies than to involve yourself in too much activities. its easier in the 2nd year. It all makes sense and there's no use crying over spilt milk but tears were wasted anyway. And I was a wreck most of the morning. I called up the OSA and the asst manager asked me to appeal to the halls directly so I wrote emails but the chances of appealing seem slim and perhaps I should be grateful that I even got a place. and like my mum pointed out to me, why apply PGP if you were so against it? I suppose herd mentality that most people applied for it as their third choice. And I seriously don't know whether I'll survive in other halls like Temasek which is very sports oriented.

    But still.

    To think that LH didnt want hall life while I was against PGP and results were the other way round.
    Isn't it ironic? (cue to burst out Alanis style)
    Granted, he did offer to change place with me but I don't know how that can be done, probably have gender quota anyway.

    So was feeling miserable most of the day, until a message came from dear Ken Yee at night, she applied for the same choices as me and ended up with PGP as well. It seemed like her words really snapped me out of my self pitying funk. And I cheered up, also thanks to Yi Chin for helping me look at the bright side.

    And the iota of hope of my appeal coming through is still there, but I'm much happier now.
