The Last Orientation for Students 442-XXXX (01/2005)se

Left the house at around 0800 and traveled to ABAC Huamark. We are supposed to catch a van or some other transortation there to the Swissotel. The Last Orientation for all students with ID beginning with 442. This means I should have a lot of my students in attendants.

We met Ajarn JD at around 0830 at the teachers lounge. He had been on campus since 0810. Now where to catch that van? We checked around with little or no luck. Finally we met a student who told us where to go. We walked over to the van and ended up waiting until around 0945 before we left.

We arrived to the Swissotel just in time for the President of the University to arrive and we followed him in. As soon as he arrived, things began. The President gave a speech (which I thought was way too negative) followed by a couple of more admin people to include the Dean, Faculty of Arts. Her presentation was straight forward and inspirational. Appropriate for the gathering.

We then had lunch and enjoyed around two hours of student entertainment from each of the departments in the Faculty of Arts. Enjoy the pictures. These are "grabbed" from the video which I took during the gathering. The quality is just ok but at least you can get an idea of what a Last Orientation is all about at ABAC.
