Last round, last of my early mornings. Everything was quieter than usual, my roommate and I didn't talk much, and breakfast was at most a dull roar. Schedules were passed out and I was SO happy to see
Jerry Gergich and
Li'l Sebastian as my remaining houses.
Li'l Sebastian: I walked in and was blown away by the decorations. This house had already charmed me, but this was like the chocolate fudge and cherry on top. The stories this house shared were humorous, and the woman who I was talking to gave a speech about how much these girls mean to her. She even caused me to tear up which left us both a sobbing mess. I loved getting to know her. The people around me made me feel at home.
Jerry Gergich: I was paired with the same woman who talked to me during the first round, and I really enjoyed seeing her again. The speeches were tearjerkers and I could see how much the ladies meant to each other. They had a really sweet presentation, and I enjoyed being here. I felt that genuine community presence, but I remember looking around the room and thinking "I see how I can fit here, but will this place fit me?"
My mother told me right before I started recruitment that I had a place in every house. She said that to reassure me, but I believe I truly understood it during this round. I would be VERY happy at both houses, no matter what happened, and with that in mind, I ranked with the utmost confidence.

There was a sense of relief as I turned my rankings in. It felt right. And with all of that out of the way, I could finally focus on school. After all, Bid Day starts right after classes finish tomorrow.
