As a order, we Chinese 19th sm3 students moved into Eton Hall in 16th Jan,2011. Before this, we were in Parry Hall for merely a mouth, which gives me a comparison of the two hostels. And after that, I have to say, I really hope to be still in Parry Hall, which is now a visionary thought.
From my own perspective, Parry Hall is a far more suitable place for learning, as both the bedchamber and the studying room are quiet and easeful. Besides this, due to the limited number of students living in one room, it seems quite easy for me to communicate with my roommates and come up with a compromise about certain stuffs. However, here in Eton Hall, I share the room with 7 other scholars, which makes it totally impossible to cope with schoolwork. And together, to negotiate with the others about bedtime appears a completely mission impossible.
Apart from the above, base installations turn out to be really far from satisfaction. Food is really terrible. Basketball court can be the worst I have ever seen. Beds always give out a lot of noise when someone lies down. Most of all, the whole environment seems dusty one in a while.
I know complaints can never help. I know I could never go back to Parry Hall. Hence I would have to change my attitude and mindset. Hope by this way, I could enjoy a substantial stay in Eton Hall.
There are many things that we can't change,maybe what we should do is just to adjust to the new environment.Every thing has two sides.Even the Eton hall has a lot of disadvantages compared to the Parry hall,it's still superior to the Parry hall in some aspects.In Eton hall,we can play billiards and spend less time on our shchool bus and so on.It's ok.So,don't worry a lot.
ReplyDeleteI guess there's loads of growing up to do....and CONGRATULATIONS, you have already started on the right foot - by realising you need a change in your attitude and mindset!!! Go and seek the beautiful, the fun, the enjoyable part of living! Don't miss them or allow the negatives to crowd them out of your life and sight!
ReplyDeleteI also miss Parry Hall in some way..
ReplyDeletebut i know we will someday miss Eton Hall as well..
Though maybe some of us miss the Parry Hall,now we are in the Eton Hall.It is impossible for us to come back, so what we should do is to adapt to the new environment and think more about future.
ReplyDeleteTry to adapt to the environment when it is impossible to change it~~.Every Hall will be part of our beautiful memory one day in the future~~!
