Here's an attempt - which will probably fail - in trying to write about my new life, as the title speaks, and as I try to complete my Chem homework which is an utter disgust because I just can't get the right answer.
Anyway school has started and as crazy as it may sound, I think I'm adapting well in IJC.
Day 1 of IJC Orientation 2013: Asterismos
Kinda psyched because I was going to a new school/meet new friends/walk a new direction to a new school to meet my new friends, some of whom I'll probably spend my next 1.5 years with closely. And then I thought I was gonna get lost because IJ was pretty much bigger than RSS but thankfully I bumped into Andrew, Annessa, Melvin and Rhynade. Then we almost sank into depression after knowing we were all allocated to different groups (aka STAR) - I was in Alphecca while Andrew + Mel were in Altair, Rhy in Atlas and poor Annessa was all alone in Salaeno (and also a loner in Sagittarius but she has friends now). Then I realized Jingwen was also in Alphecca so I felt a little better. And for the rest of the day I just spent it with Jingwen and I swear we were like LONERS (this is weird because technically only loner without an "s" exists). It's like no one wanted to be our friends HAHAHAHA WE EVEN THOUGHT BECAUSE WE WERE FROM RSS AND THAT WAS WHY NOBODY WANTED TO TALK TO US/BEFRIEND US.
Oh and there was this really dull and dry and uninterestingly LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG talk by some KPs early in the morning which almost killed us all.
Day 2 of Orientation
Not exactly thankful for the weekends because I didn't have much sleep to catch up on but as I type this I'm starting to doubt all the decisions I've made in my life ie. Why am I not sleeping earlier the night before?
That question is only applicable on school days, by the way.
We explored around the school (honestly I still don't know where's where) and attended some ~exposure~ lectures which I think wasn't of much help in helping me to decide which subject combination to take. Mass Dance was really fun although I don't have a thing for dancing but IJ's MD was truly good, I must say.
Day 3 of Orientation
We had even more talks than before in the morning before proceeding to Amazing Race P1 which was so-so imo. And then we listened to more lectures before learning how to sing the school song (still don't know how to though). Then towards the end of the day we were given time to buy the school uniform and I only bought 3 skirts and no shirts. And the next day I conveniently exchanged my skirts for 3 shirts because I thought I would need more shirts than skirts. And I still haven't worn any of the shirts I bought. So now I'm thinking if I had wasted my money...or maybe not.
Day 4 of Orientation
Talks like "Your Social and Mental Well Being" should NEVER exist.
Amazing Race P2 was SO much better than P1. Maybe because our group was better bonded after spending 3 days together. Oh and there was also a CCA concert that was (insert appropriate word). I don't wna hurt anyone.
Day 5 of Orientation
I thought I would die because the day started off with HOM workshop and that was THE most boring thing ever invented but I was wrong. The "workshop" was surprisingly engaging although I still find HOM a little......not very helpful.
Part of the day was spent learning the performance item for campfire later that night and I'm proud to say I belong to the Gay Group. The Gay Dance was one of the best dances I've ever danced. Not that I've learned a lot of dances but yeah out of the many dances I've seen/learned, Gay Dance is one of the better ones.
Campfire was REALLY A BLAST though we didn't have an actual fire because it was raining that evening but the fake fire was enough to make us all go HIGH HIGH HIGH
AND AFTER PARTY WAS THE MOST FANTASTIC THING THROUGHOUT THE 5-DAY ORIENTATION WOOHOO I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT NIGHT WHEN I WENT ALMOST INSANE AND ALMOST OVER MY BOUNDARY
It was super cool.
YES AND AQUILA WAS THE CHAMPION HOUSE FOR ORIENTATION 2013 WHOOPAAAAQUILAAAA
And then Orientation was over and for the next 3 weeks or so we had lectures and lectures and more lectures. Oh yes and we were split from our STARs to our CGs and I'm pretty glad I'm in 1312D (together with Andrew hahaha).
And during OAC we'll be split again from our CGs to our STARs and after OAC everything/everyone will be back to their CGs and only CGs.
Happy March and here's to our everlasting friendship, Alphecca + 1312D!
