Hello hello hello! And then there were six… … … yep! I got back six houses for 6 Party, which made me really happy. I got back Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown, Bittersweet, Cerulean, Banana Mania, Laser Lemon, and Mac-n-cheese. I was really shocked to see that Burnt Sienna and Cerise hadn’t invited me back, but I stayed calm by reminding myself that I still had my favorite, Cerulean. Apparently a lot of girls didn’t take it as well as I did, though, because many didn’t show up after reading their lists!

Those lovely people who made the recruitment schedule decided to give us gals a break today by starting the first party at eleven (big yay!!!) The schedule was:

11:00 – 12:00 Cerulean
12:20 - 1:20 Banana Mania
1:40 – 2:40 Mac-n-cheese
Lunch (aka naptime)
4:30 – 5:30 Laser lemon
5:50 – 6:50 Bittersweet
7:10 – 8:10 Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown


6 party is slide-show/video day. The dress: skirt, cute top, and heels. Weather forecast: rain rain rain rain rain. Ewwwww again!

Oh I forgot to mention that if any of you knows anything about the location of the houses at IU, 20 minutes is NOT enough time to get from house to house, especially in heels and double especially in the rain! (Cue blisters and frizzy hair)

So Cerulean: I was sooo excited to see that I was invited back here! I had a great long talk with one of the members and then we watched a slide show and listened to the sisters sing that had everyone in tears! You can tell the girls genuinely love and care for one another here. I cannot get over how comfortable and natural I feel at this house.

I’ve had mixed feelings about Banana Mania but after today I’m really starting to feel more solid about this house. These girls are so down-to-earth and you can tell that they have a blast together. They also had a touching video. I’m starting to think that I’ll be seeing a lot of tears at every house I visit today!

My last house before lunch was Mac-n-Cheese. I haven’t had positive experiences here the past two parties so I tried to give them another chance today, I can honestly say I do not feel like I fit in at this house. I also don’t feel a connection with the girls I’ve talked to unlike other houses.

After an extremely short-feeling break was Laser Lemon. This house visit is the reason why I’m so glad I’ve stayed throughout all the parties. I didn’t know exactly how I felt about this house before, but after today I really love them! I had fabulous conversations and can tell that the girls are really genuine here. I can see myself being a part of this sisterhood, which I couldn’t imagine before today.

Bittersweet and Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown have been my least favorites throughout recruitment. These last two houses just aren’t natural-feeling for me. After having visited other houses I can tell that I just don’t feel the same way as I do about my favorites. I know what it’s like to feel completely comfortable in a house and I’ve only felt awkward during these visits.

Today was an easy ranking to turn in:

Cerulean
Laser Lemon
Banana Mania
Mac-n-Cheese
Bittersweet
Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown

I am so nervous for tomorrow’s Preference Round/3 Party that I can’t fall asleep! Assuming I get 3 houses back, I won’t have my first party until 1:00 pm. I’m so anxious and excited and nervous!!! And I cannot wait to wear my dress which is adorable!!!! AAAH I’m going to try and sleep now (… … not going to happen … …)
