I'm so sorry! Just remembered I had a GC account and completely forgot to finish this post! My deepest apologies! Ok I'll try to remember Pref night the best I can....
The next day I got my list for my parties and I was going to La Bayadere and Coppelia. I was so excited to see they both had asked me back but had they not I would've been so happy to go to the other two.
Pref Parties:
La Bayadere: Beautiful pref! Gave each girl a different flower as they came into the house and then collected them all in a vase and explained how they were all individually unique but came together as a beautiful bouquet. The room was dimly lit and made for an intimate feel. We were handed a letter written by someone who got to know us over the week. At this point in the party I got very emotional and struggled to hold back my tears. The girl who wrote my letter was a stranger at the beginning of the week and by the time pref rolled around I felt like she was one of my best friends. The singing and testimonials were beautiful.
I felt sick to my stomach leaving this house. I hoped the next pref party would not be as great because I knew this was going to be an extremely difficult decision.
Coppelia: The room they took us into was breath taking!!! They did a phenomenal job of setting it up and I was amazing at how beautiful the entire place looked. I talked to several girls but mostly the two that had mainly rushed me all week. I felt so comfortable with both of them and they were so incredibly genuine. Their testimonials were good but I wished they hadn't only focused on seniors. They had one singer who was exceptional! The two girls who had rushed me wrote me two very heart felt letters they made choke up and I tried my hardest to hide my tears. One of the girls could tell how difficult of a time I was having. She asked me if I knew what I was going to do. I sort of just broke down and tried to conceal my tears but knew it was going to be nearly impossible. The girl was so genuine and reassuring, she never pressured me to say what I was going to do and she said I would end up where I was supposed to be. She was so incredibly sweet.
I walked out of the house extremely queasy and completely dumbfounded about what to do. I had no idea what I was going to do and the tears kept coming. I sat in the room where we were supposed to sign our bid cards for a long time. I struggled immensely but finally on a whim wrote one house down....
Any guesses before I reveal?
