To The People,
On a side note, full knowing that this weekend marked the August long weekend, I found myself up at my cottage surround by family and friends. Amongst those friends are some who currently attend Queen's and shall be heading in to their second year and this great post-secondary institution. One of these friends in particular ask me where I have been assigned for residence since it is done by random lottery. I reply with Leonard along with my room number and wing. In an act of unspoken happiness and euphoria, he grabs me and shakes whilst announcing to me that I find myself on the same floor of the same wing of the same residence that he enjoyed the previous school year! Coincidence? I think not! Queen's has indeed conspired to make sure that I too enjoy one of the best years of my life!
Yours,
T

As my departure to Queen's inches nearer and nearer, the bombardment with information and the ever elongating to-do-lists never cease to come to the forefront of my day. This past Friday though, a critical and much anticipated piece of information was finally made public: The residences! On that day, as the clock struck noon, I found myself helplessly on Qcard whilst still at the office. It seems as if the mouse had a mind of its own and found its way onto clicking the appropriate links to the page where I would be able to find which one of Queen's residences I shall find myself in come September. Upon opening the page, I see it, the name of my new home: Leonard Hall West. There was a slight and momentary feeling of disappointment about being assigned to this residence. It's not one of the newer buildings and has not been updated since what seems to be the 1950's. But, upon further researching this edifice, I soon realize that this is indeed something fantastical with plenty of perks to go around! It just so happens that in this very building is the new main campus cafeteria! Although the people (including one of my friends) from Leggett and Watts are probably laughing at me now, I shall be the one laughing when I see them arrive at the cafeteria one early Kingston winter morning with more layers on then the Michelin Man. I, on the other hand, shall take full advantage my predicament and shall wonder my way downstairs in a very cozy and yet conservative pair of pyjamas. Oh yes Leggett and Watts, we shall see who is laughing then!
