Orientation Day is the day where 1st year students are inducted as official students on campus. A day where freshman can run around and get lost, to get to know the campus. Not for me though. O-day is marked "Free Drinks" on my calendar.
At Curtin, i was one of many unfortunate students to have their orientation on the same day as the guild orientation. This meant i would be sitting in lectures, listening to course outlines whilst others outside were getting free drinks. A double dose of boredom and dissatisfied expectations sparked into rebellion.
At the first recess-like break at 10:30, everyone in the Pharmacy course headed down for some biscuits. As we walked, my eyes couldn't help but trail at a grassy hill. Something did catch my eye though. A huge can of some sort -
Before anyone could stop me, i was sprinting up the hill. "I've never seen you sprint faster in my whole life", Lex commented. I was running for my life, or love.....Love for FREE Red Bull
Long story short, Matt and I went around looking for free stuff, and got back to the lectures 30mins late. Not bad, considering we walked away with 6 cans/bottles of drinks each, plus other freebies, including a Lipton Ice Tea bandanna. Please don't mistake this for stealing. They were using these gifts to bribe us to join their club. Without the additional drinks/lollies, their gimmicks and charm of the personnel would have little, to no effect on me.
UWA O-Day was quite similar. Except i got less drinks. But i was representing CS (Chinese Society). Why help out a rival club of Asia? Was it because James (Hotness) Moss asked me to? I wish....Not really. It was my other love. They let me wear a CS shirt. I couldn't resist. Regardless, CS has won my ongoing allegiance. I'm going to try out for committee in Curtin, most likely as a 1st year rep.
On other news, I recently joined Facebook. It's for business. The P Brothers can cover more territory. This means there is potentially more clients that will no doubt, increase the level of sales and the Ping industry can rebound from the drop in profits that has occurred in recent weeks.
