King's and Frosh week: The balance between classy and trashy.

I don't know how this place doesn't have a reputation for being a party school but it's probably because it's only the first three days of frosh week and a few big parties a year that are super insane from what I've heard. Now that we have launched into the 47 book reading list, things have quieted down significantly, such as the residences being filled with people reading in silence instead of intoxicated people yelling about philosophy. However, it's now the weekend so there will probably be more shenanigans.

My building and floor are nice but living with Hannah is a bit wearing so far. We are opposite in the ways that I love academics and she loves socializing. It works out in a friendship but living together we're going to find some clashes every now and then especially because of her occasional diva fits and she sometimes feels I'm annoyed at her when I'm really just introverted. I don't mind having people in the room even if I am sitting in the corner doing mostly my own thing. I also can't read when she's in the room because she is constantly unsettled and I need a chill reading environment. We'll reach an understanding eventually for living in the same room. I love her to death but living in this proximity to her will be a learning curve for both of us. It'll all balance out eventually and I'm not worried about it.

I enjoy that Allan lives in town. He lives in a dorm style room on the top floor of the building that's the highest point east of Montreal and the owner of the building let the top floors turn to anarchy, essentially. He loves it and it's also a nice place to get away from the sometimes suffocatingly small campus of King's. Allan is the bro I need to be chill and also fix anything technology related that I need to set up. He's a nice constant to have in my life.

I've found some really cool people so far. I've also found myself in a multiday argument over the pronunciation of the word 'bagel' with one guy because he's convinced 'bagel' is not said with a hard 'a.' Considering that my school is about 75% people from Toronto, there are many people to back him up. I feel like one of us needs to emerge victorious but I'm unsure of how to settle this.
Hearts,
