O.R.I.E.N.T.A.T.I.O.N.

Who would have thought that I'd ever go for another orientation. If I didn't know better, they were planning it to be more like an initiation more than an orientation. With several of the games that had us looking like monkeys in front of the public really tested our self-consciousness. But overall, my group bonded rather well. A testament to our bonding would be the fact that we came in first for the games held in the afternoon.

I suppose it helps when everyone in the group starts with the notion that we just don't want to lose and do a forfeit in the end. We played every game thinking that we don't want to end up last. At night, we were further involved in team bonding games and it cumulated in a night walk. Of course the night walk was something to freak us out. But somehow I managed to by pass one third of the route because I couldn't tell where I was suppose to go next. Imagine getting lost on a route that was said to be fool proof. I guess I'm a bigger fool than I thought hehe.

But what was nice about the orientation was the fact that because you can see another side of the people that you don't normally see. When people get tired, frustrated and angry, they tend to show a side of themselves that I find interesting to note. Not that I'm some kind of freak that likes to see people freak out. But yeah I'm that kind of freak who likes to see people do something that they don't normally do. I'm quite a sucker for gals who can compose themselves during times of mounting pressure. So you now know one of my weaknesses. That's why I have a huge draw to gals who look like dykes. They usually have this aura of confidence around them and aren't afraid of showing people what they really are.

Opps, I have already run out of things to say about the orientation. Besides the fact that I think that most of the people in my group were pretty cool and that I would gladly work with them again on future projects. It seems despite the fact that this orientation was rather exhausting, I had quite a lot of fun because of the people that were with me. I had a few notable conversations with a couple of the members of the other groups. The weird fact was that they were all Psych majors. I suppose I just wanted to know how the Psycho... Ermm I meant Psych majors, thought about this orientation.

How did I know the person I was talking to was a Psycho... ahhh I mean Psych major? It's because of the smell of a lost lamb that I pick up from whiffing the air. It's not something to be offended my friends, but it's rather obvious when your not enjoy yourselves during the orientation. And when you look around, the difference between all those who had fun, didn't have enough fun and HATE the orientation comes super obvious.

I suppose that fun actually doesn't come from the activities themselves. It's more from within one's self and the experiences you get from the people around you. So I guess the reason why I had so much fun was because I had an open mind and I had a bunch of fun loving group mates. Any of you guys reading this blog, CHEERS! I hope that I have as much fun studying as I had during the orientation. I hope that all you guys have fun studying too. See you guys Monday! Alauz Out!

Idiots of today, Geniuses of tomorrow
