Six hours after I was initially supposed to see my schedule, I was finally able to see which houses asked me back! On philanthropy days PNMs can have a total of 12 houses. I opened my schedule and saw:
Day 1:
Millionaire Matchmaker
Law and Order
The Bachelor
Day 2:
Mad Men
Modern Family
Hell's Kitchen
Even though I only had 6 houses, I was so excited! To me it seemed like a lot, and I really liked all of the houses I got asked back to. I was a little disappointed I wasn't asked back to Revenge, Parks and Rec, or Friends, but I got over it really quickly as I shuffled off to my parties!
Millionaire Matchmaker - During Ice Water Teas, I just liked this house, but during Philanthropy Day I fell in love. They had an amazing presentation and set up (not to mention drinks
). The girl I talked to was great, and everyone seemed really passionate about their philanthropy, a cause that I had been associated with during high school! I LOVED it!
Law and Order - This house had a great philanthropy and an amazing presentation about it. I really enjoyed it. However, the the first girl I talked to was really quiet so we had kind of an awkward conversation. The second girl I talked to was more outgoing and we had a nice conversation about their philanthropy. My leg fell asleep during the presentation, so I stumbled a little walking out... so embarrassing! The second girl did make sure she knew my last name though as I walked out; I'm not sure how to interpret that though.
The Bachelor - I really liked this house. They were really energetic and passionate about their philanthropy and seemed to have a great sisterhood. I talked to two girls, and I thought I had good conversations with both of them!
End of Day Thoughts: I was over the moon in love with Millionaire Matchmaker. I had a much better day, and finally met a friend. I took this as a sign to hang in there and that things were going to get better. Now I can finally start to see why people think recruitment is fun! Philanthropy days are great!
