Day 2: Night Heat and Extra large stress

Should I start with the suffocating heat,
Or the noise from the fellow prospective corps members,
Or the smell we didn't know where it came from,
All I knew is everywhere was choking.
I can't even sleep a wink and we had to wake up by 4am.
Omo! I was blowing hot air instead of cold ones
Or the water reaction, that itching feeling is premium
and combined with the heat...

We were chased out 5am by the bingle call for orientatio.
No other options for us, we have to trooped out.
From 5am to 7am we stood at an attention,
Learning the anthems and listening to lecture.
After that I went to finish my registration to collect my kit,
I checked through it immediately and I saw that my khaki is XXL when I only use medium size.
So I had to start checking with others in order to swap but I will have to wear an oversized in the end.
From there I went out again for the parade that took about 3 hours,
I later had to crawl my leg back to my bunk because the aching feeling was much worse.
But damn I did obey the clarion's call.
