Aww, thanks, you guys. I appreciate hearing all of that!
My friends and family think Texas is too far away, especially since I don't know anyone there. But I went to Purdue without knowing anyone there. It just takes some adjusting. And I have never had a problem making friends. I'm very outgoing so I don't think that would be a problem. I'd be a little nervous, I guess, but I'll be nervous about moving anywhere that's completely new to me. But just like Pat says, "But the feeling I get, well it makes it all worthwhile." hehe
Oh, and Adrienne... and a few girls in my house date KA's at Purdue. They seem like genuinely nice guys to me. They don't have a house, which kind of puts them at a disadvantage when rush rolls around. But, we actually let them hold a rush function at our house! We let them use our bum room to talk to the guys at first for about an hour and then when that was over, we all went downstairs and played games and had pizza and just hung out. Oh, and for our Founder's Day, they sent us 4 dozen roses. How nice is that? So tell Mr. Adrienne that this SigKap is a fan of the Purdue KA's.
And to everyone who responded to my post with such nice, welcoming comments, thanks! I am sure as decision time gets closer, I'll have more questions for all of you.
Oh one more thing, do you think I'll eventually say "y'all" instead of "you guys".... all my southern friends who go to Purdue laugh at how we say "you guys" in place of that. Think I'll pick it up?? hehe
