Here's some news for you guys-nothing big, don't get excited
. Next Thursday I'm going to an impromptou happy hour with the alum group, which I'm really excited about, because there hasn't been an event since December! So, it will be fun to go and meet more of the girls!
But on another note, I sort of need to vent. I've been reading everyone's threads about their AI journey and it seems like , in comparisson, mine is at a crawl! Don't get me wrong, I am so happy for the others when they finally find their homes!! It just seems like, they're are all doing stuff I'm not-let me explain. I know people have filled out applications, sent in resumes, gotten info packets, etc-and I have done none of that. The possibility of AI with my group has only been mentioned in passing about twice. When I go to events, no one asks me about why I'm doing this, what I like about the org, what attracted me to it, what I could bring to the org-or even the AI process with their org. I don't know how anyone feels about the whole AI process, except for about 2 of the girls. I wonder, should I bring it up in conversation? Should I wait for someone else to say something about it? I just don't know. And then I keep reading about everyone getting initiated in the spring '04 class, and I get really discouraged. Like maybe I should look for a home elsewhere. But the thing is, I don't want to go elsewhere! I really like this group-and the girls I've met so far. And please don't think I'm trying to speak badly about them, I'm just discouraged and venting. But I know this can be a long process too.
Anyhoo, I'm sorry this is so long and disparing!!
