FOLDING IT BACK!!!

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.
