1st day
Wednesday, January 03, 2007
I know this is a little belated but happy new year everyone~ May you enjoy success in whatever you do in 2007.
So. First day in TPJC was disorientating. I never thought I'd miss TKGS but strangely enough I do. I miss the sea of green uniforms, the screams that occur practically every minute, the school cheers especially TK Philosophy, the absence of testosterone and the rickety pianos situated in random spots. I miss the teachers I respect, the friends I love and everything else besides the paint job that turned our nice beige school building into a kaleidoscopic disaster.
My OG is Blackbeard 37. The theme is "Pirates". Arrr matey. Not. The principal was a bit of a joke. 1) She's new and she did not stop emphasizing that. "We're all in this together". Yeah. Methinks she watched too much High School Musical. 2)When the VPs and HODs were being introduced, she interrupted and treated her staff like children. "Oh stand in a straight line please. Stand in a straight line." She'd better get some things sorted out. Or her staff is probably gonna rebel against her. In pirate lingo: Them seadogs are gonna mutiny. Arrrrrrrr. Make 'er walk the plank.
The choir song they tried [note: operative word being 'tried'] to made us learn was ridiculous. They sang the verse really high and the chorus low. Just damn retarded. Games were alright I guess. My OG just so happens to be completely Arts. 16 girls and 3 guys--which would have put us at a distinct disadvantage in the "form the longest line with whatever you have" game cause the strategy the guys in other teams were using was to whip their shirts off...and unless we were willing to put on a show similar to the Crazy Horse Paris Cabaret show....Thankfully, we got to skip that due to time constraints and just did a cheering contest in lieu of the game. My voice is partially gone now cause the OGL asked me to lead the "Blackbeard Oie" cheer and we probably did it like 9-10 times. I was so fatigued that towards the end I even got a part of the cheer wrong and everyone (including me) started giggling.
It was strange to see so many 4/9 people in TP. One after another, I spotted them. There are about 10-11 niners in TP, including me. That's more than a quarter of the class! Can't help but wonder. Oh funny sidenote: When we started learning the cheers for our respective families, we heard the Captain Hook family going "Brrr it's cold in here, there must be some HOOKERS in the atmosphere!" Wah lau. Was damn tempted to shout "How much do you charge?" but decided not to in the end.
