Entrance Interviews and Orientation Madness90%

Today is the first day of student orientation here at TIP. Even for the most seasoned veteran, this can be a little hectic but for someone who's just getting back into the swing of things and finding out how much has changed and what not, it's downright chaotic.
One of the more interesting things about TIP is that students go by English names. 90% of them come with their own name already but if they don't have one, the staff can assign them one. Students picking their own name usually find an English word they like and just use that, thus in the past, there have been students by the names of Chairman, Lucky, Healthy, Gladiator, River, Winner, Mint, etc. One student I talked to recently picked out a science book and decided she was going to have the first word she saw in there as her name. The first word was Neurological, so she went for the second word: Synapse.
