spoilt for choices

i was browsing through the clubs and societies available in georgia tech.. so that i could have a better idea of what to join... in a discussion board, a tech student advised that i be in a leadership society, a major related society and another one for my own interest. while lookin through, i was surprised that there is a bangladeshi students association, a singapore society and surprise surprise - a recreational soccer club.

i am so going to join soccer now. the only downside, georgia tech seems to be the only university in the ACC that doesnt participate in NCAA soccer. so this means its just for social and recreational. but they do play in friendly cups and leagues. its good in a sense, im not that good, so i can at least expect to be in the team to play for fun. if not, i can just play socially. bad in a sense, i cant look forward to events like the ACC or NCAA like how the tech baseball, basketball and the football guys enjoy. but then again, NCAA would be pretty tough.

i was browsing through some of the fraternities as well, some, you gotta pay a huge sum, which i am not willing to, but there r some pretty nice ones where i dont pay at all, or pay very little. for me, fraternity will be purely social, nothing too serious.

now, i vowed to myself that i will not fill myself with activities like ive done since secondary school, which can be strenuous and at times, having too many things to do at once that it takes a toll on my academics, but learning how at some days i might only have lectures for an hour for the whole day, im having second thoughts. maybe freshmen council or residence hall council, im not sure.

i can get to know more about how the whole thing works in FASET and RATS week, so i better keep an open mind about it. but im definately joining one of the social fraternities and soccer club.

im not sure which cultural club i should join though. bangladesh, japanese or singapore? i hope bangladesh isnt filled with the typical bengali people, coz i so wont fit in then, and like wise, i hope singapore one isnt filled with high achievers from top 5 JCs, who will inevitably consider themselves better after knowing i screwed up in the A Levels, but ended up in tech anyway.

oh, there's also theatre, so i can keep my interest in stage and theatre performances alive. very interested in this one, i bet its bigger scale than ive ever been involved in. there's also a university radio station, i'd wanna see how that works.

300+ student run organizations in tech. now how can i not be excited?
