Hey everyone! I got my schedule this morning!!! I was so happy to find out that I received a full schedule of ten houses! I felt really lucky since I have heard this is not very common. However, since the house I ranked bottom is on my list, I know I was invited to exactly 10 and know which 6 cut me. I will no longer be visiting the following houses:
Peony
Lavender
Lily
Daisy
Forget-Me-Not
Rose
I'm sooo happy with my schedule though, getting invites to half of my favorites. Today I visited five houses that I had ranked high on my list. Therefore, it isn't surprising that I had a good time at each of them.
I started out in the Violet house. Maybe it was because it was the first party of the day but it didn't go as smoothly as the others went and I won't be too surprised if I'm cut. However, I would be happy to go back and meet more people to get a better feel for it. Their house was AMAZING. Wow. All of the houses are beautiful, though.
Then I went back to the Orchid house. The conversation was easier here. I feel like it's hard to say distinctive things for some of the houses. It just felt comfortable, and they live in a big beautiful house.
Next I went to the Carnation house. I liked their house pretty well. A lot of people sleep in sleeping porches which I don't think is a bad thing. And it was nice talking to a senior who was pre-med.
Then I got to go back to the Sunflower house, which was a favorite. It still is. The women I talked to yesterday came back and said hi, and I got to know other women. They just seem like really smart, active women who are easy to get along with.
Lastly, I went to the Iris house. I really love this house too. Once again, the people I talked to before came back to say hi. And I could actually remember their names without looking at the nametags! It was the same way at the Sunflower house. I feel really good about this house.
I would like invites from any of these chapters, but my two favorites are Sunflower and Iris.
Tomorrow I get to go back to what was my #1 yesterday, the Holly house. The other four I see tomorrow I ranked as my bottom four but I am glad I get to have another chance to check them out (I've read enough threads to know that people can change their minds a lot!)
Oh, and if you haven't already be sure to check out the
chapter directory I'm not kidding when I say that every house is big and beautiful.
I'm sorry if it sounded like I was expecting her to not be smart. I think we all stereotype to some degree. The woman I talked to knew this, and we talked about the crap that she got from people and how she dealt with it. Still, I'm sorry if I came off as judgemental.
