I'll just add the last installment now! Also I know that I wasn't too specific with what house I put down, but that's because I wanted to add some form of suspense....
That morning
This morning was like Christmas. I could hardly contain my nerves. I was super nervous and doubtful and almost regretful. Should I have put down Jasmine? Maybe I would have been able to connect with them. I hoped that Ariel really liked me and would choose me, but I told myself that everything would be okay if they didn’t. I kept trying to imagine different scenarios and how I would handle the phone call. It started to get late in the morning. I still hadn’t gotten my phone call. I was starting to get nervous. I was texting my mom in anticipation being like “I can’t wait anymore!” and “I’m SO impatient”. She kept telling me it would be okay and just to calm down. Finally, I was about to give up, but then I saw an unknown number calling me. I nervously answered the phone. I figured I didn’t get a bid if they were calling me so late. To my utter surprise and excitement though, the person on the other line said, “Hi *****, this is ******, I just wanted to inform you that you received a bid to Ariel. Would you like to accept?” I screamed yes into the phone and started jumping around my room. She then told me to meet at the house in a bit and to make sure I looked nice. When we got to the house we were given our formal bid invitations and other wonderful bid day celebrations occurred.
Note since this is the local sorority, I am not going to announce it on this board but if you are curious, please let me know and I will PM it to you. Also I have to say that I am so happy with my decision. It’s been an incredible few days. I love all the new friendly faces I see walking around campus. I love walking into the house and noticing that there are people who are excited to see me. I am so proud to be an Ariel.
