Because the Rain has never - and I do mean NEVER - stepped foot into an Open House, whether Junior College or Polytechnic, she shall ungraciously bore her random readers with a not-so blow-by-blow account of her experience.
I found it rather amusing, being involved in CJC Open House when I've never bothered to attend one myself. I questioned the sanity of Editorial Club. Nobody in their right mind should EVER ask me to be involved in such whimsical or utterly redundant (whatever you call it), school functions that only served to intensify my personal distaste for the school population.
I think it's a sign - a God given sign that I'm equally damned as every other unsuspecting souls in this universe - to partake actively in the promising social bonds of the school's society. My subconscious disagrees; claimed that I ought to leave the school building before the better half of my sanity gets destroyed by the palpable failure of CJC Open House.
People poked their noses in, with a half bored half tired expression, and shot a few glances here and there, across the CCA booths. Mag and I carried on being the most unenthusiastic members of our CCA, she grabbed a school's magazine while I willingly submitted myself to the hypnotic distortion of flying shuttlecocks.
And this was how I spent my Friday afternoon. THIS was how I spent a gratuitous amount of time, roaming about the school with faces as bewildered and as confused as any other. Good heavens. 2 hours of my very short life...wasted.
This is why I never bothered attending an Open House. =.="
Let's not forget that I'm 2 days away from submitting my incomplete holiday assignments and not to mention Mag and I are supposed to attend the CJ Alumni dinner this Saturday to collect insights and reviews for our next article. The President of our CCA sent a mildly pressuring message "You two are the only ones without an article." In a nutshell: Attend the Saturday dinner or you two are fired!! That tactic would have worked if I wasn't desperately trying to like my CCA OR if I had a slightly more rational brain.
