Good luck, newcomers!~

Went to CSSA's orientation tonight for new Chinese students this year. A bunch of old faces showed up in the event, including the former CSSA presidents and a few guys alwasy warm-hearted to play some part in public affairs for the sake of the Chinese communtiy here. Sitting there and watching those guys do their presentations was kind of weird feeling to me, especially when I saw and heard the familiar PPT slides and all the life instructions. It was like rewinding memories, bit by bit, slide by slide. I can still clearly remember the day two years for our orientation. Quite a few funny and memorable details then. Now we've become old guns/veterans giving our advice to the eager newcomers. I could sense their faces glowing with excitement, despite minor nerves, to explore this unknown new world, when they were echoing with laughters or exclamations or understanding nods at those "old-to-me-new-to them" jokes.

The last part of the orientation was the self-introduction for us old buddies. Right after that, I was overwhelmed by questions raised by as many as six students, all in either journalism or telecommunication or communication studies or commdev, my current program. Tried to answer their questions one by one, and exchanged our contact info.

Well, adventures have started, good luck, newcomers!~
