Dear Jasmine

I’ve heard that second-years are allowed to put in requests for particular room allocations. So I’m writing to say that I would be really, really, really happy if you would put me in Room 48.

I’m sure you’d agree that it’s only fair for the person with the most stuff to get the biggest room. And, as you’ll remember from last year, nobody has more stuff than me.

You’ll probably also agree that a pleasant working environment leads to academic success. And as my Academic Support mentor, I know you want me to be as successful as possible.

Yours sincerely
Trinity Luhabe

Hi Jasmine!

Listen, just one more thing while I think of it.

I was just wondering whether the midnight curfew for male visitors applies to second years as well? Please let me know asap!

Thanks babes.
Trinity

Sorry, babes. This is absolutely the last thing, I promise.

I just wanted to say thanks. For everything.

Love
Trinity
