Yeah, you got that right. What the O??? But wait, what does the big big 'O' stand for?? Well, it is actually the "yearly welcoming ritual" of Ateneo de Manila University's freshmen - OrSem (probably short for Orientation Seminar). It's supposed to be a 3-day celebration or what not (from June 9 - 11).
I heard that it WILL BE a lot of fun for me since it WAS a lot of fun for the previous batches of freshmen. So the question: "Dude, why are you getting worked up on something as cool and fun as OrSem?"
Well, the answer to that is really quite simple. Yeah, sure I don't really like the time or the required color of t-shirt I have to wear, but those I can tolerate. What I can't stand is that I'll be in a big big group of people and if you guys don't know me, I'm very very very anti-social when it comes to big big groups. I'm the type of guy who prefers 1-on-1 talks, hangouts and other stuff. If encountered w/ a big big group, I tend to shut up and stay in corner to do my thing or I try to find other people like me (hope I do find some on that day).
And one other thing, corny games and stuff like sing-along the campfire, rock on the stage, party 'til you drop activities aren't really the top things that I like. Sure, you may think of me as a plain and boring guy as of now, but I don't really care. This is me and I don't think that I need to change because of college.
Ok so guess I'm done ranting. Then again, since I am only human, I might be mistaken on my preconceptions but yeah, this is what I feel about it. Oh darn, I'm starting to complain like a youngster... Hahaha, I don't mind, I'll just wait for those days to come knocking on my door but I won't be anxiously waiting for them. Hope that I won't really be creating much trouble there.

answer is simple...have a conversation with someone in that big big group. hehe
yes, I think I mentioned that idea in this post ---> "...or I try to find other people like me."
thanks for the advice though, means much that you read the entry and gave the time to comment. :)
I'm pretty sure I had the same thoughts when I was in your place a year ago.
I'm pretty sure I was wrong, too. :) Enjoy OrSem! As much as you'd go back to hating the idea of it after a few weeks/months or so, it's all going to be worth it.
@Chris - thanks so much for leaving a comment. I didn't even expect one from other people since I don't really get much comments most of the time.
Well, let's hope your right, but then again, I don't think so. I think that my personality and character is way worse than you had imagined. I don't really "do good" as well as you do.
But still, thanks so much for the concern, I appreciate it!
