Just kidding, looking forward to the story!

Ahh so jealous! I already live in the Northeast but I went somewhere even colder for college and now I totally wish I had gone to Miami or at least somewhere in FL! =)

Back on Topic...

Reasons I love this story:

-- Not only are you witty, you can also write in complete, grammatically correct sentences with no spelling errors. I thank you. Your high school English teacher thanks you. America thanks you.

-- Easy to remember chapters. First, you narrowed it down to only those that matter. Second, no disney princesses, characters from TV shows that I have never heard of, colors, or references to Philadelphia.

-- Different format than all the others. I love how you cut to the chase. Keeping it simple works well. Nice job.

-- Finally, it is clear that you are writing for entertainment value, NOT some starved-for-attention "look at me" vibe that so many of the others have. Keep entertaining us.

Bad Cat, I can't wait to find out where you land. I have never posted that in a recruitment story before.

My point exactly! I am appalled at the grammatical and spelling errors in stories written by university women.

PREF PARTIES

The pref parties included the standard issue teary eyed stories of your sisters standing behind you when your goldfish died or something. I tried so hard to mask my disappointment of being cut by Venus but my heart wasn’t in it. The Saturn girls were great but they just weren’t Venus and I probably didn’t give the other chapter whose party I attended a fair chance. I listed Saturn first and hoped for the best. Our RC told us not to worry about the infamous no bid phone call because unless you did a suicide you would get a bid.

Well???

Please tell me that you got a bid from Saturn, accepted, and realized later what a great decision it was! I am hooked on this thread!

You should see their recruitment applications: they are absolutely atrocious. I keep thinking this has to be a joke. You used this kind of grammar and spelling knowing someone was going to be assessing you on it. I can’t wait to see their resumes in four years.

I received an email from the recruitment chairman this week and it was teeming with “lol” and “hahahaha.” Also, overuse of exclamation points and CAPS LOCK much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, I’m a grouchy old woman.

I agree... but while we're on the topic, you have a run-on sentence there.

You remind me of one of my friends. She was also anemic and would get WICKED cold very easily. She went from New England to Georgia for college, and is now living in Arizona.

For me, I can't imagine not being able to enjoy the height of each of the 4 seasons

Love this story. Keep going!
