RE: Self-orientation of the freshies. :)

Rain · Veteran Member

Hmm.. oh yeah, do you think we need to tell the admu admin/orcom/sanggu etc. about our "orsem"? baka pagalitan tau or maybe di payagan? baka kc biglang pagdating ntin dun paalisin tau ni manong guard...Just being concerned! :D

Dunno, havent been there (yes i know im a clueless freshie, and thats why we need orsem before classes), know that i got that out of my system, maybe we'll fit, but wont we look weird? hahaha everyone will look at us and say: "WTH?" :P

Oh yeah by the way, galing mo wickedgossip, showing qualities of a good leader for organizing this and such, Wickedgossip for Sanggu!, lol...

Haha I know what you mean. If I were an upperclassman myself I'd have that reaction, too! And thanks for the compliment! Haha. I wasn't in on this one alone, tho. I conspired with Aly. :)

Now that we know we won't fit in the caf, I think we'd just make that as our meeting place then head off somewhere else for the activities. :))

UPDATE: I don't think they'd mind, since we're not exactly breaking any rules there. But if they do, we hatfa be ready to kick some butt. Kidding! :))

How about we uhmm, make a big circle and introduce ourselves by standing in the middle? :)

How about instead of making a big circle for the whole batch, seperate the whole group into the different schools and let them introduce themselves with each other? I know its very limiting, but its more possible to do.

WickedGossip · Senior Member

Yep, they might sutmble upon these replies anyway. :D

WickedGossip · Senior Member

Hmm. Okay, so we'll do just that. :) D'you think there'd be more than 100?

I'm guessing less actually. It's a promising self-organized event i can tell you that but then again, its less spread than the orsem itself (of course). Be hopeful, but most important of all, be prepared.

Argh I'm worried about getting our self-orientation out of hand. DX I need some help!

MarkMark · Member

Just to inform you, TnT core (the core handling your OrSem faci's) has just announced that the moved TnT training will start on June 10. You *might* run into your faci's there o.o

Wonder what they'll think of our little "gathering"... :D

Well, let me list some things you can do and the others can help you with in order to make this activity more organized and eventful.

1. I noticed you already got a thread started in order to make a list of all those who will attend. Make sure that on that day itself, you bring the list in order to make sure if everyone did come and if ever they're others as well.

2. Let them already go to their school "circles" immediately after they arrive.

3. Assign some people who will handle the individual circles. Its harder for you to handle each and everyone of them so TRY to assign.

4. Always start with an ice breaker.

5. Try to get someone who knows the campus well enough that you can at least have a tour.

What do you think?

*Well, right now the only confirmed schools to attend are SOSE, SOSS, and possibly SOH.
4. Always start with an ice breaker.
*I think I have some ice breaker cards here. :)
5. Try to get someone who knows the campus well enough that you can at least have a tour.
*Gaah I don't know any freshmen, but Aly does. I'll contact her.
What do you think?
**Thanks for your help!

Not to ruin the whole innovative idea of actually creating our own orsem, but don't you think it would be more fruitful if we waited for "professional" help? :p

katlog the great · Member

Haha if you say so! But sana di umabot ng 500 noh?? It says in the memo that gatherings of more than 500 people is against the "law" hehe

aly028 · Veteran Member

I remember we had this group thing sa reco where we were divided into 5 groups tas each group was divided into 2 lines and we moved to the left after talking with the person in front of us.

Gets niyo ba? Maybe we can do that so we would be able to know everyone? :)

@WickedGossip: I asked na and 2 of my friends agreed to tour us sa 10th. :)

Dawn · Veteran Member

Weee! There are maybe at least 30 people coming! =]

Bianca · Newbie

I might join. It's a great idea! :)

pamceleridad · Member

I spread the word to at least 3 of my blockmates via e-mail (Here's hoping they reply and join biggrin

)

Oh, I'm from Block E2 by the way. (BFA ID) aww

kengelo · Veteran Member

Tama ka rainier.. hehe.. ako nga nag-iisa lang from my school... pero i think the self orientation is the best way para maalis ang feeling na alone tayo...

Rain · Veteran Member

Haha right you are!, well i think ung main point naman nito is to meet new friends :D

Lenie · Veteran Member

Yush
mukhang mahirap talaga na walang orientation before the first day D:

username101 · Member

hey guys, don't forget it's the rainy season :D so better prepare your umbrellas and such :)

WickedGossip · Senior Member

Guys, are you expecting alot of activities on the 10th? 'Cuz I just want to remind you all that this self-orientation thingy won't be like the actual OrSem, where you get to ask alot of questions about our school. :) So maybe we'll introduce, then eat, tour, and just hang out.

cjmf3 · Member

I'll join in :)

miss_veron08 · Senior Member
