Freshman Orientation- and all the confused kids

Freshman orientation was interesting today. We got all the usual stuff; planner, schedule, ID, and achievement test scores (apparently I am not stupid). We were lectured by the staff about dress code, involvement in the school's activities, and other such boring topics. All this, of and in its self was not important enough to blog about. But a few things seemed to catch me off guard from what I expected.

For one other then the normal clubs and sports, I found that they have a place to sign up for being a tech for the school. This position allows the signed up student to work with the school's computer system and such. Also we will get payed for our work. I was so excited about it till I talked with a student already enrolled in the program. He said he just bluffed his way in and all they really did was sit and do nothing. I guess I will still give it a shot because I get payed and it will look good on a resume.

Another thing I realized is that I am still viewed as kid. Things like them walking us around and making sure we don't get in trouble tipped me off. I guess I can not blame the considering what I have seen of my class. Maybe I am just over analyzing what I see or perhaps I always look for the worst in myself. Then again on the off chance that I am right, all I am is a immature kid.
