But being the "bright" person I am found an adorable pair of shoes on this shopping trip. They were platform sandals with really cute beading on top and had teal beads that matched my shirt for the first round. I had worn them a couple times before recruitment, but never as long as that day. By the end of the day, those cute beads had cut into my feet and for the second day I had big scabs on my feet. I was thinking though and brought comfy flip flops to wear between houses or I don't think I could have made it through the day. Thank god that my sandals for the second day covered them up and I coming to my senses wore some cute Reef flipflops that were comfortable and I got compliments on them.

I will say this too...Our Rho Gammas had told us not to bring anything that wouldn't fit into a small sandwich bag because they wouldn't be responsible for it. I didn't listen and thank god I didn't. I packed a bag with my shoes, an umbrella, makeup to touch up, mirror, brush, breathmints(I read the advice on gum making your breath actually stink worse),water, granola bar, and a tide pen (which came in handy when one of the girls dropped a strawberry on herself and we got most of it out...I guess it was a good thing because she went ZTA anyway I cannot tell you how many girls asked to borrow my mirror and try to touch themselves up. The next day I definitely saw more people doing it. I only brought stuff that I didn't care if it got stolen and I wouldn't be lost without it.
