its getting better

Yes, it definitely IS getting better.

So, Orientation at ACJC ended today and i should really start reflecting :)

About today first then, i was actually quite worried that i'd have to be hyper the whole day today since there were no lectures to attend, and literally close to 13 hours with my OG from start to end. But well, it turned out great and i enjoyed myself quite a bit.

From Mass Rally where we finally got that much louder and huddled much closer, to games which the boys nicely pleaded on our behalf to get wet/dirty on our legs, to OG time with Frances' group, taking pictures, going to Holland V to eat at Everything with Fries, the boys helping us finish our food, going to have a look at Joshua's so called field, playing at the scientific biopolis playground, playing Taboo, playing Monkey, giving Agrim our dirty cans; watching Morgen walk in again, this time, Morgen cheering them on all the way, Agrim asking the funniest, and craziest questions on stage, sweaty "clubbing" in the hall, more Mass Rallying and final OG debrief.

Phew, one should never start the process of rambling :)

its getting better, thats what i keep telling myself

I remember the first day of orientation, while i was amazed (man, it took me a minute or so to come up with the right word!) at the ACJC school spirit and all, i thought the people there were really hyped up and honestly speaking, i didn't think i'd ever fit in there. I missed the SC culture like crazy- and to clarify, SC is not a very dead school whatsoever, the school spirit is just as great- and every single time i remembered that i was no longer an SC girl hurt.

I remember the first time we met with our OGLs and got into our OG groups, i hated the awkwardness and all i could think of was when i could finally go home. And when you don't enjoy yourself, Time, crawls most slowly.

Then, it got better, but of course, due to ALOT of prayer :)

Time started to speed up and as the days went by, i find myself only looking at my watch, but realising its almost time to pack up and go home. Conversations in the OG was getting longer and longer, and we made friends easier, and faster. Obviously, we started to cheer louder and louder, and got more hyped up.

Every time we have OG time, and watching the OGLs, i'm brought back to the last two years. Peer leading became the norm, but i still remember the that excitement and at the same time, nervousness as each new batch of sec 1s come in. As junior PLs, we watched our babies growing up and witnessing their change slowly in the school, coming to us with all their crazy sec 1 stories; to senior PLs, monitoring and breaking that awkwardness that our Junior PLs and their groups might have, feeling proud of them when they finally can speak of the enjoyable time they had with their groups.

These kind of experiences are once a year, few as it may be, each experience is most memorable.

I remember when one of my OGL found out that i actually rather be elsewhere, and she told me that she didn't want to be there at first, but seeing how hyped up she could be about ACJC in just a year, caused me to realised that maybe, just maybe, if i could open up more, maybe i could be like that too. So i did, and i think, it got better! Hehe :)

It takes 10 weeks to make a habit, so of course, 10 years in SC forms the tightest bond and everlasting memories and friendships. I still miss SC greatly, and it sucks that SC and AC sounds so..similar, when you say cheers too fast, it sounds the same. HAHAH! A huge part of my heart still inevitably lies in SC and its really not easy to wholly accept change, but small pockets of ACJC may fill my mind occasionally now, so i'm really happy :)

Hahah how anti-climax, but i think while i've satisfied my urge to write a nice long essay (SUCCESS!) i've ran out of steam (&energy, &words)

On a much lighter note,
