oh, i also wanted to add that in my extreme RUSH to get ready for RUSH, i forgot to take out my nose stud. remember my infamous "nose piercing" post? heh...by the time i realized it, it was too late(i have to put in a clear, seemingly invisible "retainer" when the jewelry isn't in) and i wore it PROUDLY.
i think i should have gotten more invitations to second round simply because i amazingly took a shower, blew my mass of hair mostly dry, got dressed and primped a bit, and sped back to campus in under 45 minutes =) it was a feat. my gamma chi was like, "wow! you look great! didn't i see you in a ponytail, jeans and flip-flops an hour ago?"
