### SOMEONE IN ELM COLLEGE IS THINKING ABOUT YOU

by Nang Theint Hanni (Class of 2027)

*after Alex Dimitrov*

This poem is happening in Elm College,

where it’s raining and we’re all so stressed

that it’s impossible to talk about secrets.

Every morning the dining hall aunties say good morning!

and every morning I add powdered milk to my crappy coffee

with a kind of coming-of-age desperation

they’ve stopped saying hi.

Hello, beautiful boy I’ll never have

in the Elm courtyard. Hello, girl with smoky eyes

texting her boyfriend in the lift. We’re all lost, even on campus,

and if this place won’t take my mind off you

I guess I’m in love and in for more rain.

You are the boy sitting across me in the Cinnamon

dining hall, peeling an orange

and thinking of taking a minor.

I would like to be an orange on that tray.

I would like all the boys in the dining halls

across NUS to take a minor or two

and stop bothering me. Let me brave bad weather

of the bearable kind, in another country

where someone takes a green apple

instead of an orange. And bites into it, skin and all.

There’s a pause. The girl in the lift

might not have a boyfriend anymore.

The lights in the courtyard come on. I digress.

Someone sighs. Someone complains. Someone lingers.

Someone in Elm College is thinking about you.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://nuscwiki.gitbook.io/25-26/student-life/interest-groups/socio-cultural/nusconduit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
