Today (yesterday. Whatever.) is done! Meaning I am done with meeting all the houses. I really loved all of them, and I sincerely loved every single girl I met. They were all really genuine and amazing, and we had so much to talk about.
I sent yesterday's post (with the real names of the houses, obviously) to everyone I know personally who wrote me a letter (a few of my grandmother's friends wrote letters on my behalf). I think my grandmother is really enjoying reading my account, and she's very encouraging and insistent that I should choose the right house for me, regardless of whether or not it is Chuck. I also found out that one of her friends wrote me a letter to Ellie!
First up today was Morgan. These girls were really nice, again I loved my time here. In my little notes section, I wrote that I absolutely loved this house. I did this one and Jeff back to back, since I missed doing Morgan with my group, as I was still in class, so these two run together a little in some parts. I believe it was here that I had a really odd rusher, she told me this crazy story, and all I could do was react to it. Someone came over, I'm guessing to check on her, and she started telling the other woman the story too! It was kind of confusing, I didn't quite get what was going on, but I still really enjoyed my time at this house. She was very nice, it was just kind of a huh, this is kind of weird experience. Also, one of my favorite high school teachers was in this house at her school, so I'll admit I had a slight bias there, but really, even with that aside, I still loved this house.
Then I visited Jeff. This house was really beautiful, the inside looked like something out of a magazine or TV show or something. The girls here were nice, though I didn't really feel a click with them. I still loved them, though. Oddly enough, all four of the girls I talked to had some link to the geographic region that I'm from.
Next was Ellie. Oh my GOODNESS, I loved this house. The girls here were seriously amazing, I got along really well with everyone with whom I talked. I found something in common with all of them, and they were all super nice and friendly. It was such a cute house, I loved them a lot.
My last house was Sarah! A lot of my grandmother's friends (including her sister) were in this house at other schools. The girls here were really nice, but it was kind of like Casey, where I felt like we didn't quite click. I thought this house and Casey were pretty similar, they were great girls, but I didn't quite feel all at home. I also fell off the patio here--whoops! And it was during a bump, too! But the women were super cool and chill about it, so it wasn't a big deal or anything.
So that was the end of the night! I still had my meeting with my RC to "rank" my houses (unranked top six, and then we rank the bottom three in order of would most to least like to visit again). We can be invited back to up to six tomorrow, although according to my RC, very few women are invited back to that many.
I ended up ranking them
top six (no order):
Chuck
Ellie
Captain Awesome
Morgan
Jeff
Lester
Bottom three (from would most to least like to visit again):
Sarah
Anna
Casey
I felt really bad putting Sarah in the bottom three, especially because my great aunt (among others) was a Sarah, but since I'll probably be visiting at least one of my "bottom" houses tomorrow anyways, I kept it where it was, because I felt there was more potential for me at Jeff. I don't quite know how to explain it.
I did really love all the houses, and I would love to get to know the women in all of them even more, but since I did have to rank them, this is how it happened. But just because a house is in the "bottom" group doesn't mean I didn't like it--I really liked all of the houses!
I get my schedule tomorrow morning, we'll see what happens then!
