This has nothing to do with being cut, but I'm not sure if I've shared this pre-recruitment story before.

Ok, so this happened about a decade ago. This was in the days before cell phones were in common use, before AIM, and before GC! (gasp!)

I walking through my on-campus apartment. You know-- dorm style living with a kitchenette, private room, living room and those fabulous cinder block walls (the walls are vital to the retelling of the story). Sorority Recruitment was starting the next day.

Now, I've never been especially graceful on my feet, but I managed to walk into a wall-- one of those fantastic cinderblock walls. I don't know what happened-- I just missed the door. I heard a crack-- it wasn't the wall, but the sound of my nose and a trickle of blood began to run down my face!!!

I grabbed my Zach Morris-sized cordless phone and dialed my friend, Andrew. "My nose is bleeding and sorority recruitment starts tomorrow! No one is going to want me to be their sister if I have a big bruised nose! I think my nose is broken!"

"Oh my gosh! Do you want me to come over and take you to the hospital? What happened?"

"I WALKED INTO A WALL!"

"No really! What happened?"

Thankfully, my nose wasn't broken, I got my first choice bid to ADPi and hooked Andrew up with one of my sorority sisters... They will celebrate their 5 year wedding anniversary this spring.

All's well that ends well. I've still been known to trip over my own feet. And I'm a little wary when I'm in a dorm....
