As i walked the familar path back to AC on wednesday, it was familar yet foreign. Walking in at 11 in t-shirt and shorts weaving past the security guards who did not say a thing would not have been possible a year ago. yet, as i walked in, the familiar faces i see everyday in school. the teachers. and the first person i saw was eunice. you feel so at home again. i only stayed for the mass rally and i thought (personally) it was disappointing. the ogls were too slow in heeding instructions, so it pushed everything back. but it was only the second day. the ogls need time to familarize themselves with those cheers, to get into the rah-rah mood and the new kids need time to absorb the AC spirit. i would say that orientation is the only time you see a cohort united as one. the bond in the new students would be forged during orientation. i liked my ogl orientation better than my own orientation. that was the time you see seeyun in a totally different light. i've no idea why i could become so super rah-rah, leading in cheers, running around. and yes. love practicing those dance steps. orientation makes seeyun do things she will never do again. but it was definitely an experience i will never forget.
i posted a post after orientation last year not knowing what my members think of me. but as i look back, although i might not have made a difference to someone else's life, i did change mine. honestly i never wanted to be an ogl. it was the pestering of bonnie and andre and saying how i should not waste my two dollar deposit to just go for the interview. and in the end, i ended up being the only one who got in, coz bonnie coldfeet during the interview and purposely do badly :P and it was sad i did not bond with my og partner that much. partly coz i did not attend og camp and i think it's personality issues? but orientation was definitely fun! i remembered allowing my kids to not play too many muddy games coz i didn't wanna get down dirty as well. LOL.
