As for rooming, I was stuck with the most popular girl in the school as my roommate—I would have much preferred rooming with Alanna for another four years that having to deal with Galinda Upland—who's the Shiz princess apparently—at least that's what I've seen in everyone's mind—and that everyone would take her side against me. I didn't really care. I was trained to stand alone and I could do it even though I knew it would be very difficult.
After reaching the room I was stuck sharing with Galinda, I immediately began writing to Father, as she wrote to her parents. I thought to myself, note to self: write Thom as soon as done with this letter. Then write everyone else, especially Queen Lianne and Raoul.
