POLYmer. POLYclinic. POLYester. POLYmorph.

Few days ago I went down to SP to do my enrolment. The process was well organised and smooth, and in a jiffy I exited the hall, proudly displaying my gliterring new SP student card (literally. the card's gold.) around my neck.

Then came the hard part.

The poly has 4 big clubs:

-Student's Union Council
-Community services and cultural club
-Sports club
-Current affairs and debating club

The other ccas are classified under 'special interest groups', and so are not one of these 'Big Four'.

And so, on that day, the 'Big Four' sought to go all out to promote their plethora of orientation camps and full-day activities lined up for us. Freshmen were herded into each classroom and forced to endure 'persuasive encouragement' to join the various camps. Somemmore mus pay for each event de lor.

And so I went from room to room, full of seniors attempting to psycho me into joining their camps. Haha. By the time I finished my business with the last room in the row, a bruised and fatigued and financially challenged John staggered out, gasping for air and crying for food and water. Oops. Exaggeration. Ha.

So, in the end I signed up for the following programmes:

-Sports club freshman orientation.
-Com service & cultural club full-day event. Called Viking saga or sth.

All this in addition to the poly-wide official O week that precedes the start of term immediately, on 23 May. Also, I am on waiting list for Council and School of Design & Environment's (my school) orientation camps. Looks like my May is gonna be a busy one. Hehe, the most seah-larn (original word disguised. reason: wholesome family blog) thing I can say to all those in a JC is: wHiLe ThE mId YeAr eXaMs aRe bEarInG dOwN oN yOu, PoOr mE hAs tO eNdUrE sO mAnY oRiEnTaTiOn cAmPs.
