Hey Erica--
Thanks. Honestly, I'm hoping it's just a timing issue. I figure it may work the same way that my views on getting married and buying a house worked out. If you'd have asked me six years ago on either of those questions, I'd have laughed and said it would never be happening. And then last year within three months, I was engaged and bought a house.
So maybe membership in BSP is just one of those things that it's not yet my time for, and that it'll happen when it's meant to.
Amherst at this point is too far for me, honestly, even if the chapter was running. But there's GOT to be something between New Haven, CT and Boston. And hopefully I'll come across it some day.
