Day 3: Preference
I got my schedule:
Jump-rope
Kite
No Bubbles? I wasn't the only one up-set about not seeing them on their list (there were a lot of tears in the room). I thought about dropping out but my Rho Chi suggested that I at least go through preference before I made that decision.
Have you ever tried putting together a puzzle and you find two pieces that you want to put together but no matter how hard you try, they just wont fit? That's how I felt at Jump-rope. The girl I was paired with kept saying how excited she was that I was there, but I didn't really want to be there. The ceremony was nice, but I didn't feel anything. Maybe I should just drop out of recruitment and try informal in the fall for Bubbles...
I was picked-up by my cousin's girlfriend at Kite. We got some food and then headed-up to her room to talk. It was really nice because I could still joke with her instead of being all serious like it was at Jump-rope. The ceremony was nice and I even cried a bit. I looked around the room and thought, 'these girls are amazing friends, why did I ever want anything else?' As I was leaving, my cousin's girlfriend hugged me and whispered in my ear 'PinkCupcake, you've always been at Kite.' I knew she was right.
I was really torn whether I should fill out a pref card or not. I knew I didn't want to be a Jump-rope and the girls in Kite would still be my friends regardless if I joined or not. Plus, a part of me still wanted to be in Bubbles. Finally, I wrote down:
1. Kite
2.
If I got into Kite I could try it out and if I still rather be in Bubbles, I could always drop out and go through recruitment again next year. So I handed-in my pref card and headed back to my dorm.
