(30) "Days at JCAC"

The semester's end is approaching, and I was surprised to find this slipped under my door one day.

"Days at JCAC" is the yearbook for my hall: Jockey Club Academy. During the year, our "reporters" collected stories from residents, RA's, sports teams and players, exchange students etc. "Days at JCAC" is then edited by fellow residents and proofread by Melody, an American exchange student, in English.

There were some Hall Activities I missed from the fall semester, including:

- Aquatic Meet in September
- Athletic (we'd call it "track") Meet in October
- English Corner and Putonghua (Mandarin) Salon, where native Hong Kong students practice their language skills with mainland Chinese students and/or English speakers.
- German cultural night; Rebecca, one of the RA's, is a full-time student from Germany.

This semester, some Hall Activities were:

- High Table Dinner, which is a formal dinner party reserved for students of each hall.
- Hiking trip to Tung Chung, in March (I hiked here in late January)
- Sports Competitions; we won soccer, got 3rd place in boy's and girl's basketball
- Cooking and Singing Competitions (JCAC won the singing, sweet)

I even made an appearance on page 21 (lower right), in an article about the Basketball Competition.
