wahahaha >=) .. 1st part pa lang yon! XD .. here's the 2nd part ^^
bale after registration, we were led to the next part of the session which was in a smaller place than ung theatre earlier.. basically more speakers..
one speaker who spoke about GREEK life.. anybody know the show GREEK? which is about this parang geeky guy who joins a fraternity, gets forced to do crazy stuff, etc etc.. im not sure if this show is out lrdy but if you've even at least just seen the commercials of it you'd have more of an idea of how greek life is.. also, there's a show on MTV, ung reality show on fraternities and sororities, ung mga initiation, brotherhood, etc.. maybe this one some of you guys know about..
anyways, basically, greek life is ung nga.. life in a fraternity or a sorority.. ndi ung mga gang type frats ha.. it's ung college fraternities and sororities.. names of the frats and sororities here are ung mga greek symbols like ung mga tipong alpha, beta, omega, theta, epsilon, sigma, upsilon, lambda, zeta, etc.. for example, there's a fraternity named DELTA UPSILON and there's a sorority named DELTA SIGMA THETA.. there are 18 diff. fraternities and sororities, some all white, some all black, some mixed, etc.. it sounds interesting but Tita Jinky, Tito Joel, Tita Norie, Mom and Dad are not for it so ill just respect that.. so to let ya knw, im not joining ;)
there was a speaker who talked about general info about their department, some staistics, about majors etc.. nothing much.. after he spoke, he askd some questions and gave away some prizes: a shirt, 2 lollipops, and a bar of hersheys =)) .. i raised my hand but unfortunately, never got picked XD..
another speaker talked about sex safety.. ung mga tipong what to do if someone passes out at a party, safety tips, blah blah.. it's funny cuz there's actually a building sa UNF where you can get free condoms XD .. "condoms and coffee" pa nga ang sabi.. XD .. nice combination noh? hahah XD
and then there was this part of the session where we played a game.. they threw around a beach-ball.. u have to catch it if it comes to you, introduce yourself, say where your from, your major if you know i already, then answer the question of the person who threw it, ask your own question, and finally, throw it for someone else to catch it..
unfortunately again, the ball never came to me XD
next was how to SWOOP XD .. this is where the whole swoop thing came in.. XD if you havent read the post before this, the swoop is the flapping-of-the-wings kinda action OSPREYS do.. OSPREYS are birds of prey (meaning, predators of prey) that is ung parang animal ng UNF.. or something XD
they 1st showed a video about how different people around the campus do their swoop.. hehe it was funny ^^ .. comedy XD .. then, they taught US how to swoop.. it's kinda hard to explain how to do it, basta basically it's like a single flap of the wings.. so we all stood, did it, and felt funny doing it XD .. this was a nice ice breaker aside from the game hehe ^^
after this was another video about ung mga facilities ng UNF.. UNF's got some pretty nice facilities ^^ .. aside from ung mga tipong, football field, basketball court, soccer field, track stadium kinda thing, there's also an athletics center, gym and pool, game room which has a billiard table and EVEN A LAN ROOM (dota anybody? XD..), and even a 3 hole golf course and skate park! XD .. not to mention, may starbucks pa sa library XD
after the video, lunch time na.. ^^
bummerly, during this whole time nung umaga, i havent made much socializing.. i havent made any friends, and ive only talked to a couple of people.. it was kinda wierd kc everybody was as nervous as i was.. at the theatre, u wouldnt see a full row of seats filled.. there were spaced in between almost every kid.. only a few came to orientation already with a friend, probably some1 they knw from HS, or their roommate or watever..sadly, nobody was friendly enough to approach me and make social contact or whatever, or maybe they were just nervous like me.. pero aq eventhough i was nervous through some parts, i still tried to reach out and talk to people.. kht papanu i made some sort of soocialization nung umaga but not as much as i was hoping it was gna be.. =|
so wen it was lunch, i was hoping for something better.. bale the food tables were set outdoor tpos u just had to line up and get your own food (choice of either hotdog or burger XD..) ^^ .. so wen i looked for a seat, there was a bench where a guy was sitting.. so i askd if anybody was sitting there, he said no, so i sat down.. im not sure who it was, but i think i made the 1st move to start a conversation..
finally, some socializing! XD .. we had a pretty good talk.. his name is Mike.. we talkd about various stuff, high school, his work, my being 16 years old, etc.. XD .. i dont wanna go into the details anymore basta we had a nice talk ;)
after we ate, we got a drink, askd where we had to go next, then went back to sitting on the bench XD .. while we were eating and talking pa lng, there were already some dudes playing football and soccer on the green so we joined em pagkatapos kumaen.. ^^ .. basically nagpasa-pasahan lng kmi.. sipa sipa.. tpos maya2 others joined ^^ .. hehe it was nice to be able to just fit in somehow and be amongst fellow ospreys ^^
aftr that, nung time na for the next session, bumalik kmi ng andrew robinson theatre where our last sessions were.. it was nice na at least from this point on, meron na aqng ksma and ndi nmn aq lonely mclonesome XD .. i sat with mike.. basically, speakers ulit.. talked about the more parent-should-know type of stuff, like financial aid, payment of tuition, cashier's office info, etc.. thing was, la na c Tito Joel and bumalik na sa bahay XD .. so i just took down notes and stuff.. buti naman i got to know everything i needed too know.. ^^
after that, there were some skits by the swoop squad that was again, about ung mga tipong partying and stuff lyk that, applying more to those who're gna live on campus..
last part was basically just some question and answer with the swoop squad.. so aun.. it was nice to get wisdom from the upper-classmen ^^ .. after that, it was around 4 o clock na and we were then dismissed ^^
and that was my freshman orientation.. ^^ it was pretty good i gues =)
THE END
XD .. ill make another post telling about my schedule.. ^^
thanks for reading! ^^
