Twenty Nine weeks later...

What can I say about this week? It is pretty much one of the most tiring week I have ever had in NAFA so far. It was physically and mentally draining for me. 

Monday

The Orientation leaders had to report at 8am for briefing and confirmation of our roles. We welcomed the freshmen from Design & Media, Dance, Music and Fine Arts. It was pretty much a first time for most of us so as expected, there was quite a number of miscommunications. Honestly saying, it wasn't that bad at all. Pretty much everybody was able to fix any issues or misunderstandings on their own.

Tuesday

We welcomed the freshmen from Arts Management & Education, Theatre, Fashion Studies and 3D Design. The energy level was quite hyped up and it was much more fun entertaining them. Since most of us already know what was needed to be done, it went much more smoothly then the first day.

Wednesday

It was a matter of welcoming the Degree Students and there were only about 100 of them. It was quite straight forward and lasted only half a day. Then after that, we had a pre-camp briefing/training which was rather interesting and honest. The committee had to finalize all last minute camp stuffs. 

Thursday / Friday

The first NAFA Freshmen Orientation Camp 2012. It was chaos and everything went haywire from the start. We were trying our best to hold everything together and making sure that we put the freshmen before ourselves first. As usual, I am always in-charge of the administrative duties while the other Co-Vice Chairman, Tristan is in-charge of all the heavy/physical duties. From a third party's point of view, the camp actually was a success but from the leaders' point of view, there are still a whole load of things which we can really improve on if we were given a longer time frame to plan on.

Personally for me, it was a success. The freshmen got to make friends with students from other departments, they bonded really well, they had loads of fun and it was a memorable experience for almost everyone there.

As much as it was very tiring for me, I had a truly wonderful time.
