Ann's Diary
September 30
I moved into the hostel today - an ugly building near a busy main road. My room is small but quite nice, although I must put a few of my posters on the walls. I met a few students at dinner (the food was terrible although it is Sunday!), - who all proved to be much younger than me.
October 7
Lessons began last Monday. So far they have been nothing special (except for one, drama, and the teacher, Terry Hull, who is terrific!). Personally, I'd prefer to go to the library and read but I am to attend twelve lessons a week, which is not too many but I have to learn a lot for them.
October 12
I really don't like life in the hostel at all. Students are too noisy. They stay up half the night and play games in the corridor outside my room. Sometimes I wonder whether they sleep or work at all. And I hate my room. It looks even smaller now with the posters on the wall.
October 26
I tried to explain some of my problems to the hostel manager. He listened, but that was all. He said:”You have to go to lessons and live somewhere. The hostel is cheap and comfortable." Well, it isn't cheap if you can't eat the food, and isn't comfortable if you can't sleep at night.
October 30
I can't believe it! Three other students whom I met in a lesson and who are all about my age have invited me to stay in their rented apartment. It's in an old house right in the town centre and has its own kitchen, so we can cook for ourselves. And my room! Right at the top of the house! And besides my own bedroom I’ll also have a separate shower room - it's fantastic!
November10
I moved into my new room last Sunday. I feel really happy.
