Omygosh I'm incredibly excited about tomorrow/orientation '11!! Yeah I was reading through all the station games the descriptions rules and everything and then I realized that they're all the same as the ones WE had for our own orientation! And orientation just came flooding back all over again, all those memories and those happy times, the station games the fun ones the really hard ones and how Orientation built into me teamwork and class spirit and house spirit and school spirit and made me feel that I was part of something bigger than just myself. I really hope that orientation next year will give our juniors the same sense of belonging of pride it gave me! It really was a wonderful feeling at the end of orientation, just singing Raffles songs and cheering Raffles cheers with 103, really feeling like I belong. The memories are still so clear that it's like it all happened yesterday, it's really hard to believe that it's been a whole year ever since Orientation 2010, the one I'll always remember forever. I remember feeling really unsure and uncertain if I'd made the right choice on the first day of orientation, wondering if Nanyang would be a better place for me, but now I'm so glad that I chose RGS and those 6 days really turned it into My Pride and My Joy <3 It's a beautiful feeling. I'm so happy to be able to do a small part in Orientation 2011, to help my juniors feel at home in RGS(; Station games isn't the most important part or the most inspiring part, and housecomm isn't playing the most important role, that'd be the PSLs. But the knowledge that it might just help inspire a few of the sec1s, might help some people find a sense of belonging is just awesome. Or maybe it's just me and a few other oddities with this crazy need to know that I truly belong somewhere, but even so, just knowing that I can play my own part in orientation is really heartlifting to me, cos each and every part of my own orientation made a lasting impression on me(; I'm so incredibly happy that I actually get to play a part in what, less than a year ago, inspired me and helped me to find myself(;

…….and I just realized that unfortunately, I'm the only Tarbet sec1 housecommer deployed as station mistress. Omg what? :O should I be nervous? Maybe I am, but ohwell. I'm still elated either way.

Words are simply not enough right now.
