ORIENTATION IS OVER, MY LIFE IS OVER.
haha kidding. but orientation was really da bomb. i don't ever want it to be over. :( first two days were quite bad but wednesday onwards, everything started taking off (there must be an airport nearby!). dirty games were like seriously dirty. the first day, i couldn't take water. the second day, water seemed like nothing beside starch and mud and whipped cream. i didn't get super muddy though, so it's okay. haha.
love my og! GO ZIRA. haha i guess it's cos i sort of have an identity already. despite it being not-so-satisfactory. nicknames i accumulated over orientation:
Nanyang Girl (LIKE WHAT.)
Bimbo (SO NOT.)
Pink (haha this one i don't mind.)
Boss (cos i'm og rep. haha funny.)
okay, i am totally jumping from place to place because the next thing i wanted to type was DID YOU KNOW MY HOUSE = OLDHAM? haha so awesome right. :) like cos it's a decent english name and not three alphabets.
i have an art proficiency test tomorrow to decide whether i can take h2 art. it'll be really ideal if i got in. but if i don't, then it's h2 geog. i don't know what geog is like yet, so it depends on the introductory lecture tomorrow. i hope it isn't very bad.
okay, so it's almost confirmed that i'm taking
H2 Lit
H2 Art/Geog
H2 Econs
H1 Math
H1 Chinese
that's right. this girl here ain't dropping chinese and she's not out of her mind k. as you all know, i was really devastated by the D7 i got for hcl and i have since thought it over. must be cos of complacency. so i'm going to take chinese in a levels and prove to myself that i CAN do it. plus it gives me an extra 10 points for the a's. i think i'm going to be quite mugger this year cos i want to do well so that i can be an ogl next year. and also, again, to prove that i CAN do it. it's suddenly all about challenging myself. i guess it's good. i should probably build up all these pep talk/self-motivation and convert them all into action. :)
alright. now that's one decision down. the next is about cca. i signed up for squash, theatre and dance. before you think i'm crazy, theatre = backstage = costume + makeup. and dance, well, i think it's fun. and i've been told by my lovely lovely ogl that he can see me as a dancer. so might as well. if i don't get in, then don't get in lo. i still have squash anyway. haha i'm still very happy-go-lucky about this kinda stuff.
i guess i really just want these two years of jc to be really packed and busy. like living life to the fullest. i mean, everyone keeps saying how jc will become the two best years of my life. i personally think that those two years = sec3 and sec4 but i might change my mindset in another two years' time. who knows, right? plus plus the fact that all these cca stuff will look good on my university resume/portfolio thingy so in the end, it's not for nothing.
also, orientation has made me realise the extent of how accepting i am as a person. like literally, nobody is too gross to be my friend. it's just a matter of whether i WANT to accept you or not. cos there are some whom i can't seem to get along very well with. wellz, my og is awesome. we have all these tiny things that we do that really bonds us together. eg, sharing bf/gf stories. these are really personal details that you keep close to your own heart and the fact that you have shared it with the entire og makes it seem like you've really opened up to all of us. even though some were quite stubborn, everybody eventually shared a story or two. and that shows that everyone's trying to be an active member of the og. almost like everybody is contributing a portion of their heart to form the og's heart. and to extend this metaphor, i guess i really have to thank my ogls for stitching these various mismatched portions together. (hahaha please look past my pathetic attempt of being poetic. total FAIL.)
alright, i have no idea what to blog about anymore. actually i do. but it's like only a mist. was once there but then it slipped away and now i can't remember. so i'm not going to bother. haha. i'll update again as soon as possible!! really, i will.
audrey.
