AND, I just got my e-mail from Canterbury telling me this:

"Dear Tui Rachel (other midde name and last name, nyah)

Your application form for a place in a Hall of Residence at the University of Canterbury has been entered into the Accommodation database.

Your application number is: 3139

You will receive another email when your Common Confidential Form arrives .

Once we have both forms, your application will be sent across to your first choice Hall for consideration."

*does a little dance* haha, it wasn't too late after all, whee! Still might not get in, though, I suppose...

Uhm you're convincing me in the opposite direction, I'm sure you didn't intend to but... :p

Okay, wealthy background, have totally had it with that. And not talking about politics? I always talk about politics. always. Always. So nyah. And, you know, you may be right about the community thing, but in my experience friends are where you look for them- and I don't think I'd find them at College House.

I wouldn't mind the traditions, actually- gowns two nights a week, so what, you should see what I have to wear every freaking day here... ;) I like tradition, I agree, it gives character. But... I've spent seven years immersed in tradition and character and it's been great but I'm over it. And to me, that tradition is symbolic of a lot of other stuff that I would describe as.. let me see. Okay, it's clique-y. Private school-y. If you like that, fine, but in my fairly broad experience of private schools and my slightly less broad but not all that minimal experience of the similar at university, basically what it turns out is clones, very well-presented attractive hard-working intellegent people with neither passion nor conscience- by which I do not mean that they are bad people, they are just people who do not care. I do not want another year in that atmosphere.

And by the way, my prior knowledge of your own political opinions is not helping. ;)

I hope for your sake that you do decide to try CH, look, at the worst you can always switch, a couple of people my year did. (Some people can't handle the way things work)
I think you're over-analysing the situation, it's not a private school, forget what you know about school, people act differently at school. Clique-y? I could look at the photo of the 150 odd people and tell you that I was friends with all but about 10, and believe me, I'm not a natural fit in person!
You go to Uni Halls to live, you go to CH for the atmosphere, the fun and the culture. It's something you can't experience anywhere else and it would be a shame if you missed out.
My two cents anyway.

I presume you know Erin Kavanagh then?

I went to CH with an Erin, but I don't think that was her last name, she was an American chick. I was there in 2001 by the way. Old bastard that I am.

Oh I see!!! My friend Erin is 2nd year there now.

Well, okay, thanks.

I may not even end up at cantabs, so... *shrug* dunno, eh.
