Just warning y'all. I've been writing my recruitment story in Word, and it's already up to ELEVEN PAGES! Just giving some fair warning.
I'll post a few tidbits that are recruitment related, but I'm still trying to stay mostly anonymous:
I called my Mother yesterday morning and made a special request that was way, way out there: She has a gorgeous necklace that is very simple:
It’s a single natural pearl pendant, very small and dainty, surrounded by two thin interlocking loops of gold on a thin gold chain. I wanted to borrow it for pref, so I could wear it, and feel like I have a piece of my Mom with me on that special night.
To my shock and surprise, Mom offered to overnight it from out of state so that I could have it to wear for Pref. She also said that she was going to send her pearl studs.
You have to understand, my Mother does NOT lend out her jewelry, and this necklace is one of her very favorites, so for her to do this is a statement that she understands what Recruitment has meant to me, and that she is offering her best wishes and complete support.
I have missed my Mother terribly even though we have had our differences, and she has definitely turned her attitude around from what she said and did before recruitment began and we rehash recruitment every night on the phone and I tell her all about the stories and what I thought and did.
So, I’m mostly studying at the kitchen table and waiting for the mailman’s (or mailwoman’s) cheery knock on the door.
I'm searching my story as written for other funny or sweet instances.
