ORIENTATION 2007 IS NOW OFFICIALLY OVER AND I'M KIND OF SAD THAT THE OG IS NOW NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE.
ALTHOUGH L'AMBADA STILL LIVES IN OUR HEARTS, WITH THE PASSING OF ORIENTATION, SO WILL THE ORIENTATION GROUP AND SOON, IT WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION AND MERELY FADE AWAY AS A MEMORY....
AND THIS HAS TO HAPPEN JUST AS I'M GETTING TO KNOW THE PEOPLE IN THE GROUP BETTER! THERE ARE MANY QUIET ONES IN THE GROUP AND ALTHOUGH ONE DOESN'T REALLY NOTICE THEM AT FIRST, WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSER AND TRY TO TALK TO THEM A BIT MORE, THEY TURN OUT TO BE SOME OF THE NICEST PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER MEET.
OUR TWO GROUPS LEADERS ARE SO DIFFERENT IN NATURE, BUT YET THEY ARE SO SIMILAR. THEY ARE BOTH SO ENTHUSIASTIC AND SO "I AM FOR THE GROUP".... AND YET THEY CAN WORK TOGETHER SO WELL TO MAKE THIS GROUP FUNCTION SO SUCCESSFULLY......
LIKEWISE... THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE OG WHO ARE SO DIFFERENT. SOME ARE MORE OUTSPOKEN THAN OTHERS. SOME ARE MORE SHY THAN OTHERS. SOME ARE MORE INITIATED THAN OTHERS. AND SOME, JUST HAVE MORE TO THEM THAN WHAT MEETS THE EYE.
I WISH ORIENTATION COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER, BECAUSE FOUR DAYS IS JUST TOO SHORT A TIME TO REALLY GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. AND SINCE I'M IN A MIXED CLASS WHERE EVERYONE IS TAKING DIFFERENT SUBJECT COMBINATIONS I DOUBT I WILL REALLY BE SPENDING VERY MUCH TIME WITH ANY ONE OF MY CLASSMATES AT ALL....
AS I ENTER THE HALLS OF MY NEW COLLEGE THERE ARE MANY FEARS THAT STRIKE ME, OBSTACLES WAITING TO TRIP ME OVER IN MY PATH, TRAPS WAITING FOR ME TO STEP INTO UNWITTINGLY.
I HOPE THAT OUR OG WILL STILL STAY TOGETHER AND HELP GUIDE EACH OTHER, HELPING EACH OTHER TO LOOK OUT FOR THE DANGERS AROUND US, SO THAT WE WILL NEVER BE WALKING ALONE IN THE DARK.
