more-ientation

I feel like it's an inborn sentiment to despise the process of orientation. I can't begin to enter the depths of how many exasperated sighs i've heard since i've come here. In fact, sometimes i sigh just because conformity sounds like a nice change of pace, but really i'm kind of enjoying myself. Did i mention my college is the shizznit? (today this guy charles asked a girl to say "alfredo is the shizznit" in german. You know... one of those basic need-to-know phrases). The RC mentality has already swept me up with it's origin starting from brooding students ready for a change who establish their alternative learning so that they actually LEARN the material to better themselves and abandon the traditional format of classroom teaching as well as condecending i'm-better-than-you student-teacher relationships, moving into a more fluid "the student is the teacher" and vice versa ideals has made me want to stand up, kick a table over and yell "yeah! fuck the man!". Instead i think i threw my pencil down angrily and muttered under my breath, which to me was in essence the same, but to a bystander looked more like a weird tick or something similar. Not only has this whole experienced pumped me up for learning (yeah, thats right, i went there), but it reassured me that i can be a stud. if you don't know what i'm talking about, i'll leave you with i came, i saw, i conquered :)
