AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Tuesday, February 2, 2010


Right, I can't believe it was December thirtieth since I last posted.
School has been quite a blast, I can tell you that. Others have already had what, three tests? And we're still having JC Orientation.
IP Orientation was held first three days (11-13 Jan). We were split up into groups (within class) and made to go around the school to play games. A lot more fun than JC Orientation, which is what we just finished.
This is because JC Orientation is mainly for - you guessed it - JC1s. Give yourselves a clap. So us IP1s were left out, dazed, disoriented (Excuse the pun) and pretty much left to ourselves. For example Carmen's group was asking why she needed to be here at all.
And the names of the big groups are just whacko. Mine was called "Creudor". There was also Alphaeus, Ryphon, Valora, Pyxis, Eorix, and there's one that starts with a "shen" and another that starts with a "Ark". I don't know how to spell them.
Right off all the participating people were the 'freshmen', the JC1s. So one five (My class, 10V15) gathered at the back of the hall and ignored everything going on, except for the mass dance (Seven of them. SEVEN OF THEM.) which we all did as a group. You could say that we 'bonded in the face of adversity'. And the best part was that a lot of the Orientation Group Leaders, mostly IP2s I think, went through the exact left-out feeling as we were going through, just that they did theirs last year, and absolutely understood.
So for the third day of JCO one of our OGLs, Samara, helped us scram from the Cluedo game they were playing. We pretty much just had a 15 group and went to sit in the Treehouse, the unofficial hangout of our class. We sat there till four and then went back to learn another dance.
And today was wet games. Unfortunately I lost my group, then had a terrible headache and went back to class to get Panadol. Azelle, Carmen and Gordy came with me. Charlie was already in class, because he's the keyholder. Then Bryan, Billy and Harish came back, because Bryan had a neck injury, Billy was there to see him back and Harish said he injured his...bicep?
Yeah. 15 is the best at coming up with excuses. (Although my head really, really hurt.)
Stayed there slacking till four thirty before going back down to listen to the results. Apparently the wet games had an amazing amount of points because before the games they announced the standings: Valora was first, and Creudor, unfortunately, was Eighth. Last. So after that Creudor became overly enthusiastic.
Anyway, the final result was quite a shock. Valora dropped to sixth place and Creudor jumped to third. Just as well.
And now it's over. We're going to Ikea tomorrow to look at furniture to buy for our class. Not all might be going though. Caunt have twenty five of us looking at things can we old chap?

1943: The last German forces surrender to the Soviets after the Battle of Stalingrad. (As in, not the last German Forces in the whole of Europe. Just Russia.)

~Quote of the Day~
If it moves, salute it; if it doesn't move, pick it up; and if you can't pick it up, paint it.
-This is called 'Typical Army'.

~Useless Fact of the Day~
A misomaniac is someone who hates everything.
