08/13/10
half an hour late to my orientation but i felt supper welcome :)
did a little ice breaker game and ran around a bit lol
as soon as we went somewhere else, a huge guy approaches me!
i tried keeping my responses short for obvious reasons.
after a few secs, he tells me he's gay! JOYYY!
i can talk to him now! HAHHAA his name is juan!
got to know each other and while waiting for a presentation,
a girl named camile joined our convo :)
she's sooo sweeet!
the presentations were boring but my friends lightened it up with little jokes
while waiting in line for food, i got to know a few other matadors!
a girl told me she lost 20lbs by replacing chips with pretzels =O plus, she went to fat camp!
our group was taught the matador dance and HAD to present it to get food.
"DOO DOOO DOOO DOO OLAY!"
we even had a group cheer!
"group 15, livin the dreamm!" :)

after lunch, we watched a play! take 22
our leader Q was in it!
it was about real life situations that can happen to any csun student
i crieddd man. it was deeeep.
rape, abuse, eating disorders, stds, drugs and acceptance.
their performance was MARVELOUS and received a standing ovation :)

when Q returned from the play,
our group gathered in a classroom and shared personal stories
i shared one... and cried LOL
my friend camile shared her kimo therapy experience.
i was bewildered that she went through such hardship.
she's amazingly strong. my whole group was!
it was sad saying bye, im really gonna miss my orientation group :(
we exchanged #'s and took a few pics. i probably wont see them anymore :(
they made my orientation super special and im grateful i met them :)
"me: my name is jaddis... and im commuting from la. them: where from la? me: lincoln heights, its pretty ghetto"
"ive never been so excited about classes!"
"me: what school did you go to? cami: charter island me: SHUTTER ISLAND?! isnt that a movie?!"
"presenter: who wants a serious relationship? juan: not right now, i still wanna be a whore"
"cami: are you single? me: why, are you interested? juan: hahah HIGH FIVE!"
"you lost 20 lbs from eating pretzels?!"
"you ladies are really strong, dont forget that"
"dont worry, im a virgin too!"
