Ok, tonight, Sunday, was skit night. I attended 3 parties for 50 mins each. Here's how they went (in chronological order, as always):

Slytherin - Again, conversations went well. Nothing about this house has really jumped out and impressed me, but it has been consistently good. They served Sprite in cool cans, and had a cool skit. I'll post about the skits after bid day, in case they might give the houses away! But, it was really funny. I talked to my rusher about retreats, and sisterhood activities. Also, I again expressed my interest in their philanthropy. The party went really fast, due to the skit, but it went well. If they invite me tomorrow, I will definitely accept.

Ravenclaw - I was kind of irritated that this house paired me with my rusher from the 1st round. I didn't have a very good conversation with her the first round, and that continued tonight. I don't know why they would put me back with her. I hope I'm not her rush crush, though I don't see why I would be, because she's definitely not mine! I don't even have one! Anyway, they served some lime slushy punch. They also introduced us to their house mom, who seemed nice. I talked to 2 other girls during the party, and they went ok, but no fireworks. Their skit was really funny though. Most of it was kind of bland, but the girl who rushed me yesterday had a very vital role in it, and she was absolutely hilarious! I really don't know about this house. They have been up and down with me. Most of the girls are ok, but some I totally don't "dig". Anyway, if they invite me back tomorrow, I'm not sure I'll accept.

Hufflepuff - This house has been surprising me. The first night didn't go well, but the past two have. The girls who rushed me seemed more involved and interested in the house. I even talked to the president for quite a while! Their skit was pretty good, it dealt a lot with their philanthropy. The girl who rushed me last night (who was great) played Sporty Spice, and was really funny. They served water and popcorn (it tied in with the skit). Everyone seemed really laid back and approachable tonight. A girl who rushed me on the first night, said "hi and nice to see you here again". I was like "yeah, I'm shocked as hell that I'm back too" Of course I thought this, no way I would actually say it! I'm somewhat concerned about the inconsistency with this house, but if they invite me back tomorrow, I will seriously consider it.

Overall, rush is going great. I feel like I'm past some of the hard parts. I was seriously concerned I wouldn't get any invitations back. Now that I've been invited back, i feel so much more relaxed. I've really been able to be myself and get to know the houses better. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow (eeek, my dress!), and am SOOO looking forward to Tuesday, when i find out which house is my home! (Notice I said, when, not if, I'm certain I'll find my place!)
