Can't wait to hear more!

Actual Date: 8/20/2010

When I got my schedule today it said exactly what I thought it would

1. Paris
2. Lorelai

Paris: I was excited to get to this house because it was my favorite yesterday but once inside I saw that it was one active to two PNMs. This bummed me out as I get intimidated and tend to be quiet. Well, that's what happened. The other PNM with me was SUPER chatty and asked every question I thought of, as I thought it. I said maybe ten words in the house and what I did say was pretty much ignored. I left feeling really sad and depressed.

Lorelai: I was paired up with this short, bubbly, adorable girl who started chatting me up like we'd been friends for years, and let me tell you, it felt like we had. Earlier in the week I met a girl who was EXACTLY like my best friend, down to the love of shiny objects. This girl was another aspect of my best friend, the part I could sit down with, no make up, sweats, and just chill and laugh. We took a tour of the house, and it was so cute! We went down to the skit room after that and I got chills as I watched it. I was loving every minute of this house, and was hoping it would never end. Her little came over after the skit and I got to know her a bit. I loved her too. I could see myself in this house the longer I sat here. We talked about how we needed to look past the superficial things like beauty, and who had the “fun” house and we needed to find the house that we felt at home in because if we felt like home, it would be fun. I felt myself tear up multiple times, thinking about all this house could offer me: a family, a sisterhood, a home..

I left knowing how I would rank them:

1. Lorelai
1. Paris

Tomorrow is Pref Night, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

Today is Saturday, August 21, 2010.

At 9:31am my phone started ringing. It was my RC. My heart sank. I knew what she was about to tell me, but said a tiny prayer (even though I'm not religious) that maybe she was calling me to tell me that the time had changed..

“Hey -name-, I'm called to tell you that the computer hadn't found any matches for you. Blah blah blah..” Everything she said after this point was a blur. I can't remember anything up until crawling back into bed with my boyfriend and crying. I was expecting this all week. I'm not the typical sorority girl, but after getting invited back twice, I thought there was a connection to Lorelai.

If you want to know my code, or want to know/guess my school, feel free.
