Update?
Bid day is today at UW - any updates on your daughter's rush? I'm crossing my fingers that she is a happy girl today...

She found a home
It's been a pretty stressful week, and as a mom I think I should warn all you younger women...rush is a heck of a lot easier going through it (at least as far as I can remember) than being a mom and watching your daughter go through it. I think this has been the only time I wished I had sons, instead of 3 daughters.
But to make a long story short, it worked out wonderfully in the end. I have no idea what preference was like for her as she was so baffled and unsure of herself afterwards. Houses she thought she really clicked hadn't invited her back. But one house kept rising up higher and higher throughout the entire week, and she was afraid to like it too much for fear of being disappointed. When I asked her how preference went there she said (between tears) she had no clue. She felt she had lost her entire sense of judgment.
So around 10:18 this morning I got a call. It was brief because she had to go. She didn't sound thrilled, but rather hugely relieved. When I asked are you happy, all she could say was, "I'm happy, happy, happy," and "I've never been so nervous in my life. It will hit me soon." "I've got to go." "I love you." (A 30 second phone call, and the stress is slowly, but surely finally leaving my body.)
I also feel like I could write a new diet book: "The Mom's Rush Diet." I've dropped 6 pounds this week, my stomach is in such knots. But it's over now, and she can get to enjoy her new home at
Chi Omega.

Congrats from a fellow WA state resident! My cousin was a Chi O at Oregon State. I am so glad she found her home. I am so glad you made it through with at least 2 or 3 nerves left.
