[EnglishRoses]

Since the pnms get to choose between Tuesday and Wednesday for the first round, I had a day off before the second round. It was not an easy wait!

I practically ran to our meeting spot when it was time because I was so anxious to see where I was invited back. I unfolded my invite list to see:

Americano
Caramel Macchiato
Cinnamon Dolce Latte
Passion Tea Lemonade

I was not surprised to have been cut from Peppermint Mocha, but was a little upset about Tazo Chai and Strawberry Frappuccino. Then I got thinking that I had really not had a good time at Strawberry Frappuccino and didn’t really have any feeling at all about Tazo Chai…so maybe it was a good thing that I wasn’t invited back. I pulled myself together and prepared for the Philanthropy Round!

Americano- Like round one, the girls seemed very nervous and like they didn’t know what to do. They had a few long tables set up where we made cards for their philanthropy. It was nice that although we were all sitting together, there was one girl to talk to a few pnms so that it wasn’t a crazy loud mess. I knew this wasn’t where I belonged, but I was polite and respectful.

Caramel Macchiato- I loved this chapter so much again! Instead of doing a craft, they showed a video about their national philanthropy. It was so moving that I started tearing up! I talked to one of the two girls I had talked to in the previous round and we had such a great conversation again! She stayed with me the whole time but introduced me to her little and several other actives. As I left, the second girl I talked to during round one came up to me and said bye to me by name. I was impressed and felt so happy that she did that! Again, I felt so at home and could really picture myself as a Caramel Macchiato.

Cinnamon Dolce Latte- This chapter made a craft for their philanthropy. There were 6 people to a table (3 actives and 3 pnms). Unlike Americano, this chapter had everyone at the table talking at the same time. I felt like my voice was lost in the crowd several times and didn’t really think that the chapter could really see what I was like as a person.

Passion Tea Lemonade- I adored this chapter as much as I had during round one. Again, they were all wearing the same outfits and looked stunning! We stuffed animals (can’t give it away!!) for their national philanthropy and made signs for their local philanthropy. I talked to the same girl the whole time and we had the most natural conversation. Another active stopped by for a few minutes to chat and I immediately clicked with her! The time flew by and the night was over!

I ranked:
Passion Tea Lemonade
Caramel Macchiato
Cinnamon Dolce Latte
Americano
