Letter to my Sisters
Dear Pi Phi Sisters,
I have been very absent from GC over the last few months. I wanted to explain to you why and also give you a little update about my life.
The past year of my life was very difficult. I was for a long time involved in a very toxic relationship with a guy, and I refused to see his behavior for what it was. Being with him for so long dredged up a lot of other issues in my life for me. When our relationship ended at the beginning of this schoolyear, I had a hard time readjusting to single life and to working out my problems on my own.
In the past couple months a lot has happened for me. I have a wonderful and supportive new guy (a Lambda Chi!) in my life. It had been so long since I was in a functional relationship I almost forgot what they are like. I went to TGC interviews (didn¡¦t get the position, but oh well!) and I wrapped up my term as President of my chapter. I have been accepted into two excellent Ph.D. programs in history (at UNC-Chapel Hill and UT-Austin) and am trying to decide where to go!
I have also taken a lot of time for self-improvement and self-discovery in the past few months. Emotionally, I am feeling a lot stronger than I was even two months ago, which is a great feeling.
Right now I am posting because I am going to try to make a commitment to being active and returning to GC. I have been very preoccupied in the past few months, but I have missed all of my online sisters greatly!
I might still be absent for the next week or two as I finish up W&L¡¦s Winter Term exams. Those of you who know me well know how to reach me online, anyway, but I will always check PMs or reported posts. ƒº
PPL,
Susan
