Well I have
to say I am turning that leaf back and I’m taking back all the promises I made
on the turning over the leaf post it’s probably because I didn’t get the camera
so I didn’t get my ice breaker yet first
day of orientation and everything goes bad:
v Firstly I had to listen to an hour
presentation only to find out that it is the same one that I had listened to
three days ago on parent’s day. I mean don’t they make an effort.
v Secondly I have people that I went to
school with in the same faculty talk about plan crasher.
v Thirdly while I was listening while thinking
about my next strategy, I could hear the same conversations I used to hear in
high school and it wasn’t the greatest of places. So while listening to these conversations
call me prejudiced but I could already see people I will not get along with. I’m
probably going to find it hard to get a friend this year.
v Fourthly it’s an orientation so
basically what you are expecting people to sell their school, so while I was
waiting for cheerleaders I got the band and those are my half dedicated mentors
how they became them I do not know. So during the tour I had to listen to wing
jokes this is a word I made up myself, I call it a wing joke because you are
basically not giving much thought so you wing it hoping that a few people will
laugh at them. We arrive at the girls only residence and they say if you have a
girlfriend this is where you go so people chuckle only to find she will repeat
the same thing when we arrived at the boys residence.
v I don’t know whether you can say
fifthly but what the hell. Fifthly I officially got Varsity BUMPED!!!! During the
whole traffic of people trying to register and change their courses I got
bumped, maybe I’m taking this to far but after that I could feel my spine throbbing.
So even though varsity life wasn’t pure joy I did end up conversing with
someone, I don’t really get people’s names but we were sitting on the same
bench and he was on his phone texting and it became quite for about five
minutes and eventually I asked if this wasn’t weird and he said why then I replied
we are sitting on the same bench and we aren’t even talking to each other and
he laugh so I said this shows what the world has turned into and he said what
and I said you chose your phone over a human being and we continued talking. I probably
won’t have to use that line again but at least I can start a convo now. Indeed every
cloud has a silver lining.
