Sorry yall, I was at the lake for the holiday with no cell service... I realize I probably picked a bad time to start writing a recruitment story, and that I should have written it all down before hand... but I didn't think to do that or really pay attention to my schedule when starting writing this. I'm sorry!
Anyways, here is the last installment of my recruitment story!
The next day I went to meet with my RC to pick up my schedule for preference night.
She told me I had gotten a full round of 2 parties, so I should be very excited, but when I opened my schedule, I couldn't help but be devastated.
I was invited back to Cape Town and Sydney.
Rome had dropped me.
I was shocked. I had thought for sure Rome was the place for me and that I would be happily running with all the other new Rome's on bid day.
I was still happy that I had Cape Town, having been another one of my favorites, but I was terrified that I would end up in Sydney, a house I didn't really feel like I belonged in.
After consoling me for a few minutes, my RC asked me what I was going to do. I still had one house left that I loved, so I was determined to go to preference night and show Cape Town that I fit in with them and that I belonged in their house.
The first party I went to was Sydney.
I don't know if it was just that I wasn't feeling the house or what, but I was not impressed with their preference. While the service itself was beautiful, the conversation I had was a far shot from convincing me that I could see myself here. My rusher probably asked me about 5 times if I had any questions, and despite my attempts to keep the conversation flowing, I found it very difficult.
I left Sydney unsure of if I would accept a bid from this house if I did in fact get one.
My final preference party was Cape Town, which I was very excited for. The girl that picked me up at the door was not someone I had met before, but she was from the same area I was, so we had a lot to talk about. The ceremony was beautiful, and I found myself about to cry at one point. I left Cape Town praying I would get a bid here.
I was debating that night if I should even rank Sydney, or just "suicide" bid Cape Town, but my RC convinced me that I would have a better chance at Cape Town if I put down Sydney as well because of the way the computer system ran.
Nervous and excited, I anxiously [COLOR="rgb(0, 255, 255)"]Cape Town[/COLOR] day.
Bid night came around and at 5 pm we were all outside waiting to get our bid cards... I got mine and noticed the familiar blue and gold ribbon at the top, and happily read that I was invited to join CAPE TOWN! ... otherwise known as
