Hello fellow friends, finally back to blogging once again. I apologize to u guys for not updating for quite some time cause i am really busy with the Freshmen Orientation Planning. Today i will be talking about the Freshmen Orientation that ended on 5th April 2007. This is gonna be a long blog so here i go....
Its was a fine day when i received a call from nana our MIT treasurer informing mi to come for the Freshmen Orientation Planning. My friends also received the call and we decided to go help with the planning process.
On the first day when my friends and i reach NYP, we were told to go to Blk L level 5, which is the meeting area for us OGLs. The meeting was really something new to us cause my friend and i didn't attend Camp Eagle as do some of the other OGL. At the meeting, we saw IC reporting strengths and most OGL were jotting down the Strength. But my friends and i was there for the first day and didn't know wad to do. However, we were told to introduce ourselves during the meeting as we were new. We really felt welcomed by the friendly greetings of the other OGLs and ICs.
After the overall OGL meeting, there was the diploma meeting where we were welcomed by the MIT OGLs again and were told to introduce ourselves again. After the diploma meeting, we were told to go to the proposals team where we write proposals for the events that we had planned for the 4-days orientation.
At the proposal team was quite boring as we only wrote proposals, it was more like communication skill lesson to my friends and i. We wrote one of the proposals and not long after writing our first proposal, the ICs came and asked if anyone wan join Runners/Ninja. Basically Runners are to pass messenge to people during the performance when the needs arise and Ninja are to carry props, and set up mikes for the actors and performers. Therefore my friends and i decided to join As Runners and Ninjas since writing proposals were not our bowl of rice.
Personally, i joined the finale team as Runners and met alot of new friends like jason and Jennifer, thorough the process, i also learn that putting on a good performance is really not easy. Last of not least i also get to know what is happening at backstage during all the trial runs and rehearsals before the actual performance.
