yesterday's orientation campfire was hell for me, not in the bad way, but the kinda emotional rollercoaster that leaves you feeling like shit.
no, i dun really give a damn abt the emceeing part, though it wld have been a lot better had it not rain. the sound system in the hall totally sucks, and our voices were all so muffled. but it helps that the j1s were so responsive and enthusiastic abt everything. Ares dance was awesome, and i felt so happy doing it, and seeing how proud the j1s were of the faculty. the weeks of practice and the late nights did not go to waste.
then we moved to the central plaza, where the song and dance session took place. for the first time yesterday, i found some meaning in college songs. seeeing how bonded the councillors were at the front leading the song was just overwhelming, the sense of camaraderie was just, chiilling.
it felt like as if i had wasted one whole year in college, being apathetic towards school events, school spirit, but then yesterday i realised that i was just being stupid. I love the school, it's just as simple as that.
this orientation has helped rekindled that flame, and i will not hold back this year to give everything i have to make this yr memorable. i need to find the energy i once had to live my final year in hwachong, much like what i did in sec 4. i'm going to make my own memories this yr.
