Adapting

It's 6am here in hall and the national anthem is playing on the radio, and no im not up ready for the day, but in fact im getting ready to sleep...just finished minutes for USP Pageant and talking to my "date", because during the day all of the hall people have our own lives to lead, and apparently this absence culminates in the insatiable desire to hangout every evening after dinner - either at this supper place near hall, west coast plaza and whatnot.

Life has nearly changed 180 degrees for me after moving into hall. The maxim 'Work hard, play hard' has to be refined - its 'Work hard, play hardER'. Of course, its not impossible to maintain cap 5 while being active in hall life, but its difficult they say. You play so hard and you aren't ever alone for any meals or at any time of the day, your door is kept open and people visit you at any time of the day (yes literally ANY time). You chase your "dates" whether you are a girl or guy, and though we eat alot like at suppers and all, i think we could possibly expound equal/ more than proportionate amount of energy.

Some people are skeptical of their future after they see what they are getting into, but im surprisingly optimistic. I think every situation has its pros and cons, and currently i feel it may actually be working to my advantage. My level of 'happiness' and enthusiam i believe, is what is keeping any illness away, even though i've only about 3 hours maximum since last friday. Shuffling between driving lessons, camps and hall has not been very easy at all! of course, its easier said than done, wait till the academics come and topple over us only then will I know the burden. But i think its important to hope for the best:)

there's so much more to say about this 'new life' but i shall reserve it for the next time. I have one whole year ahead anyway.
Its saturday, im going back to the east- home sweet home at noon, after i sleep in aahhh bliss:)

Night (morning) everyone!
