necessary evils

i've decided to join the usp camp held this july. if you know me well enough, you would have realised that joining camps, mingling with people i dont know and doing ridiculous and possible-humiliating things is just really incongruent of me.

i just dont see the point sometimes of doing the stupid things that people do during these camps, and most of the time, the only people i observe that are having fun are the camp leaders themselves.

even though i know perfectly well the (overused and cliched) reasons for having orientation camps, i have always thought the it'd just be plain painful to do.

but then i thought about it long and hard (ah who am i kidding? it was almost fleeting) and realised that maybe i should go into this with a different mindset; be less cynical about it and be more open to the whole thing.

it is true that i may make some friends and relationships like these are useful in the university, especially so in usp, where i may need group buddies (and god knows i dont want to be stuck with the rejects).

so yea, that's why i singed up for the camp. whether it's going to be everything i dread or everything i hope it will be, i just have to wait and see.

but i know this, the moment i start acting like those freaky o.g.l.s that are so uber-excited about every single thing that happens in camps, shoot me.
