I've decided to go for two H3s; after all, no matter what it's still a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, isn't it? have to write out an appeal letter over the weekend, then cross my fingers. even after all that, the final decision still rests with MOE, so there are no guarantees and all this might just happen to be much ado about nothing. only time will tell i guess.
today was the O1 walk-in; finally it was time to put all that practice into action. and it was a great success! and it isnt just ignis that im talking about, but all the houses too. great job guys :) props to all the ignis dancers, to the ignis councillors and lionel especially for all the coordination and admin work, and of course to the group of dancers who were teaching us the dance: yicen, yiyin, kaywei and tricia, for not giving up on us bunch of noobs XD
feeling all hyped up over O2 now. cant wait for it to come so that i can finally see what it's like to become an actual ogl. station games, external hunt, war games (cos what's an orientation without getting soaked to the bone?), and of course the second walk-in. already feeling ready to raise the bar set in O1, but i'll probably have to manage my time a lot better from now on cos my H3 will be starting next week. hopefully things will just sort of settle into their own little equilibrium in time
oh, and today i discovered that fedora hats are magical. first and foremost, they look awesome; there's no room for debate there. and also, they're magical because for some reason, the moment you put one on everyone wants to become your best friend. until you finally lend it to one of them, and then everyone flocks to the new person wearing the fedora. yes, they must have mystical friend-making powers that science has yet to unravel and explain.
