"Soflogirl, I'm so happy to tell you that you're going back to Dexter!!!" I was so happy to hear that. She also told me that i was going to go back to DC Cupcakes, which I expected. My first Pref party of the day was Dexter, followed immediately by DC Cupcakes.
All the girls attending Pref stood in a semi-circle waiting for sisters of Dexter to call them in. I was the third girl called, and I was so excited to see it was the sister that rushed me the previous day!! I almost teared up right there. She took me into the room where they would hold the ceremony. I noticed that there were only a few other girls in there with me, most of them were in two larger rooms set up with tables and chairs. She told me how she thought a lot about our conversation the last round, and how excited she was to have me back!! I was so excited and so happy to be back, and I told her this. She started telling me how she thought I was perfect for Dexter, and how she felt I would have so much to offer. I just had the biggest smile on my face the whole time. During the ceremony, the sisters all told stories about how Dexter had positively impacted their life. The girl that preffed me stood up and told a story too, smiling at me while she did. After the ceremony, I couldn't help it, I just jumped up and hugged her!! As I left, she said "I hope I get to see you tomorrow!!" I felt so strongly and so deeply that I belonged here. I was shocked by how connected I felt to this house, after not really having them on my radar most of the week. I couldn't stop smiling after I left this house.
Next was DC Cupcakes. Like the past house, the girl that rushed me the previous round picked me up for Pref. The ceremony consisted of a lot of singing and guitar playing. It was sweet, but I just didn't feel the same sense of connection like I did at Dexter. My pref girl told me how much she wanted me to be there on bid day, and how she wanted me as her little(!?). It was nice of her to say those things, but I just didn't feel the same way. After it was over, I went to rank my two houses for bid day.
Many girls were talking about suiciding. As I mentioned earlier, I suicided my freshmen year for one house. I don't know if this is true, and maybe some of you experienced GC-ers can clarify, but I've heard that by suiciding you can end up hurting yourself, because the computer can move you to the bottom of the houses' lists? I'm not sure exactly, but I heard a few things about this during Pref day. I remembered the torture of Bid day morning from my freshman year, waiting to see if I would get a call (and i did) saying I wouldn't be receiving a bid. So I decided I might as well just maximize my options, and if it was meant to be with Dexter, it would be!! So I put both chapters down, went home, and tried to relax before bid day!!!
~~Tomorrow is the big day!! Can't wait to share the end of my story!!~~
