the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return
My Dear we're slow dancing in a burning room

Hold you this way
So it's the end of the third day of college, the first day was absolute nonsense filled with hours and hours of extremely pointless death-defying boring talks about rules and other threatful cautions we have to take to stay safe which is really stupid. It didn't feel awkward at all for some reason, to walk into that mass hall filled with hundreds of people, some of them familiar faces, most of them odd-looking and strange to me. The teachers welcomed us 17 times (yea i counted) in total in all their speeches, we then split up into our orientation groups where we were lead by extremely overly happy leaders. I swear, that happiness is not normal. No one's that happy. We then spent the rest of the day playing games, learning a dance and learning a heckload of cheers that i till this day still have no clue about and just mumble along during the cheers to give the illusion that i know what they are. I was put into the clan mushu into the group amphis baena. Honest to god ive no idea what amphis baena means, it doesn't even sound like anything. My group is very fun though, cumara gerald and bryan are all in it, so i dont feel so lonely and awkward. Met up with the drama people after everything was over at 7. I must admit, i'm so comfortable with just the 7 of us DSAers being the only J1s in drama that when more j1s actually join it, it'll feel so weird. I won't be a newbie, neither will i be a senior. We'd be in between. Stuck in the middle. And that's not gonna be very fun. Second day wasn't as bad as the first day, but we were again bored to death in the morning by talks talks and more talks. Including a talk about PE, something i really don't want to be talked to about. And the fact that ACJC has some stupid record for being the most fit school with a 0.5% overweight percentage since the year 2000 isn't really helping me either. The rest of the day was spent covered in mud cos of the mud game which was really painful. Cos the mud had sediments of glass, sharp branches and twigs. The objective of the game was to slide accross the mud field to the other side and be the first team to send all their people gloriously muddy to the other side. As a result, people came out with deep cuts, abrasions and scratches all over their legs. Mixed with mud. Well done there. My legs were completely butchered cos of the amount of stress my legs have to take whilst sliding, my cuts, abrasions and scratches were deeper, more blistered and more intense than many others. Spent the recess break with liankim, farhana, mel, michelle and my other wonderful seniors where the most interesting thing happened. Disclosed information so i'm not quite allowed to leak. Ask me however and i might tell you. Today was prolly the most fun. Boring talks were kept to a minimum today with the HOD of some department talking about something. I swear, he should receive the golden globe for most boring person to grace existance on earth. I mean he was so boring, i actually felt myself go into a state of deep sleep and would've passed out if i hadn't woken myself up in time. Then he gives us a slideshow on how we should all make a difference in acjc. Pfft. Well, I've increased the overweight percentage of acjc if that counts. Go me. Spent the day drenched in water games head to toe with water. It's as good as going swimming in the rain. Visited and camped at the drama booth during cca exhibition and attracted a hell lot of attention with ele on a box doing a still show, me and kat beating away at drums and sahil doing a freestyle bhangra. Awesomeness. Had crappy cup noodles for dinner with sivy, archa and their friends in the void deck enjoying the cool breeze and talking bout someone. Laughed so hard we burnt away the cup noodle calories. At least, i like to think so. Already i've collected 4 ACJC tshirts of different sorts. It really is exciting all this college stuff. Even more excited for tomorrow for some reason. Am i actually looking forward to school? Pfft. This happened today during the orientation promo skits and i find it particularly funny.
some leader who ran on stage : EHHHHHHH Leader of one clan : Eh dey where you going dey (A whole buzz of shouting and noise from the leaders in the skit) some guy who ran on stage: Eh shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP AND LET ME TALK Leaders (in unison) :HEY! (In the style of the ting ting's shut up and let me go.)
I dont know why, but that really made me laugh. This is ele's theme song, and i'm so hooked onto it tsk.
I've been barely sleeping 3 hours the past few nights, i really really need rest. I'm gonna try and sleep soon. Now's too early. I'll seeyuh when i seeyuh.
