What day is tomorrow?

Doomsday.

Tomorrow's the start of a seven-day long orientation programme in my uni.

DO NOT WANT DDDD:<

It'll be icebreakers, teamwork games, seminars, briefings, bonding times, and inspections. It's a friggin' waste of time! I really don't want to talk to people. And, SEVEN days?! Can they be any more time-efficient? *sarcasm*

And I'm still at my 13th piece of artwork for the US/UK Summer Camp D:
I have no inspiration ;A;

Isn't it... about time to break free from this monotony? ^^"

I know you don't like to interact, but still, you're going to a new school, and it'll be helpful to have people helping you around it.

At least, that's what I thought. -scratches head- I can't say much for myself.

Then again, it's not like I haven't been out and interacting with people for the past few days either. =w= I've reached a new High again haven't I... To preach you on this... yet another First.

Yes, indeed I was rather amazed that you were able to preach me on this XD

The seniors are just killers, man... I mean, they book you for wearing a too-long tie, not bringing an eraser, and using a non-black rubber band. And as punishment, you have to write a page-long reflection complete with hand-drawn header showing the school's logo and the orientation logo in ink.

It started at 0600 today and we reached home at 2030. KO'd.

But at least our group's senior buddy is very friendly and easy-going. She's the opposite of strictness. And there were no bimbos (or himbos) in it :P

It was the least I could do to push you towards... I don't know what.

Anyway, that... what kind of system will you be living in?

And cool, a tie? As in the one you put in front of your chest, leave it hanging, and shorten or lengthen it at leisure? (I hope this didn't sound kinky...)

Funny, I thought this would be the kind of environment for some elite school or what. Maybe you're experiencing it? Haha, oh dear, am I mixing reality with fiction again? That and a lot of stereotypes thrown in together.

Cheer up. I'm sure you'll last through the whole thing, journal-writing or not. You should try to enjoy as much as you can, or at least, let your mind blank out and go through the activities. That way, even if you do find dislike, you'll forget about it easily. I know I did... I seem to not recall JC that well. =/

I wish the last one is true. I just climbed NTU today for medical checkup, and when an orientation group passed us, there was the usual giggling. -sigh-

Yeah, a tie! The part I like the most about the whole outfit.
System? I guess same as JC life. Because in JC they already use the college/uni system of lecture and tutorial, right? I know there's gonna be tutorial groups... and there's studio work for me as well.

Stereotypes = true facts. They exist.
You know, I feel like I'm not ready at all to face uni and work life. Growing up is scary, man.
You dislike JC? XD Well don't we all, though apart from days when you really looked pissed off, I couldn't really tell. Poker face? XD Or maybe I'm just not good at reading the atmosphere.

Tell me about your orientation!! 8D

DARN, you got a tie! And hey, I just realised, you mean there's an outfit? Darn again. I still prefer uniforms since I don't have to change clothes.

Yea, I heard it's like lecture and tutorial again. I guess I'll really go hide out at the library again, though maybe not as a club member this time. I'll also have art classes you know... Going to be a science and art student at the same time... =w=" I wonder whether I can take it.

Yes, I know stereotypes are facts, otherwise, it wouldn't be called a stereotypes. Actually, I think the word is overused now. For every stereotypes, they actually have some other qualities that deviate from their set image. At least, I think so.

Growing up... I've gotten used to being weary. It comes with the people I am in contact with. There must be something about me that draws special people... I got the worst boss, and a bunch of friends that are in no way normal. Not like that's a bad thing, though the first part is.

When I think back, I don't think I hate it as much as I hate the system. Our class was actually a good class, and there's the bonding, no matter how mild, that still exists. Well, apparently, I only have default faces, so I guess that's why it was incomprehensible.

I haven't had it yet. Haven't gone for camps. I missed the deadline or something... =X
