Sunday Morning

It just occurred to me today that my stay in hall might ending very soon, sooner than I anticipated actually. Read the following:

Charges for room, per week:
AY2007-2008: $60;
AY 2008 - 2009: $75;
AY 2009-2010: $90;
AY 2010-2011: $100;

It's total madness, I tell you! This means that I'll be paying over $1700 for my first sem alone! How can I afford it? I have yet to tell my parents but I don't think they'll be too keen on my remaining in hall. This also means that this might just be my last semester in Sheares. My very last semester.

I have thought about the day when I finally decide to move back home but the important thing is that it was to be on MY terms, definitely not the school's. I should want to leave, not be forced to. Someone said that we work so hard for the points to stay and we still have to shell out a ginormous amount of money to get a room. Unless I manage to earn some moolah, it's a high possibility that I will end up sharing a room with my sister AGAIN.

At the risk of sounding extremely cliched, this place has become somewhat my home. I have a sanctuary to escape to when I can't stand my house any more, which of late doesn't really feel like mine. Not that it was done on purpose of course. It's just that I love my room here, definitely not its location but it's still my much-loved hovel. I can put whatever I want on the walls, I can leave it in a complete mess and best of all, I can have all the privacy I want.

I'm going to treasure the remaining time I have left here. This translates to making time to visit people and eating supper.

Life's is too short to waste time on studying 24/7.
