Ahh sorry, sorry. Summer school's been trying to kill me!
So anyway, pref night.
I read my schedule one more time before handing it to my rho chi to confirm. It looked like this.
1. Chunky Monkey
2. No event
3. No event
Not gonna lie, it kinda hurt that Neapolitan Dynamite cut me. I felt like I was the only girl NOT rolling my eyes there, and they cut me? Maybe they could tell I wasn't really into them.
At my school, if you maximize your options and make it to pref, you're guaranteed a bid from one of the houses you rank. If you only have one to rank, then you're guaranteed a bid to that house. All week I had been holding my breath, and now I was guaranteed a bid to Chunky Monkey... if I wanted it.
So I went to pref night. One girl picked me up and we talked for a while before they led us into the kitchen for the ritual. I actually think ritual is pretty cool, and was excited that they shared something so special with the PNMs. Each girl also told about what Chunky Monkey meant to her. I got goosebumps.
Next, the first girl's roommate picked me up. I'm pretty sure I had met both of them earlier in the week, but I have a hard time remembering faces. I'm usually good at names, but it gets tricky when you meet so many girls in a week; seems like everyone's named Lauren.
Finally, the houses were allowed to serve food! We had cheesecake and Shirley Temples.
The girl who was preffing me told me about a horrible week she'd had last year. First, she totaled her car. She was taking this awful geography mapping class and she was the only girl in it. A few days after she totaled the car, the class took a field trip and my girl ended up being partnered up with two guys she had been kinda dating at the same time, which totally blew up in her face. Then she fell climbing a fence and ripped her leg open on some barbed wire. She still had a huge scar from it.
So the girl calls her roommates crying. They plug her location into the GPS and pick her up out in the middle of nowhere, and take her to the health center to fix up her leg. They decided she needed to go home to her family for a weekend so they packed her up and put her on a plane the next day.
These are the kinds of roommates I wanted to have. I was completely sold on Chunky Monkey. I couldn't believe they wanted ME. I went to the student union to fill out my bid card. As you can probably guess, it looked like this:
1. Chunky Monkey
2.
3.
The Greek Life guy running the pref card stand had me double check my card and then asked "Are you sure this is what you want to do?"
I told him I was sure and headed home to get a good night's sleep before bid day.
