Alright---i feel better now and so will finish this
The party ended at 11 and I spent the whole time really anxiously waiting for Julie to get out. Finally at about half past, she called my room. She had had an amazing time and was absolutely in love with the Circles. We started talking about what we wanted in a Sorority, which was something i hadnt really considered because i had made such a spur-of-the-moment decision to go to recruitment. I knew what i felt like i should want--i thought that a sorority was about classy and well dressed women, about being a part of some huge exclusive group...and i was partly right--but getting down to it, the word "sorority" was throwing me off. At this point, i no longer cared about being a part of a "sorority," instead i really just wanted to find a place where i could feel comfortable and happy and supported. I wanted sisterhood. We talked about this in depth when Julie suddenly realized her cell was ringing. I listened on her room phone while she answered her cell and then started talking in her "im talking to someone important" high-pitched-girl voice. I laughed to myself, wondering who would call her at close to midnight. Finally she hung up and came back on line and started screaming. She said that the really cute brunette Circle sister had just called her and invited her to join the Circles!!!!! We both started screaming and giggling. We had no idea that they would be notifying people so soon! I subconsiously checked my cell to see if i had any missed calls--i didnt.
Julie and I talked until almost 1am, by which time i figured that i hadn't received a bid because i still hadnt been called. Just as I was thinking this, my call waiting beeped through. I put Julie on hold and answered my phone.
"Hi ------! This is Amanda* from the Circles, and Im calling because I wanted to invite you to join our
sisterhood." Amanda was a little ditzy, in an adorable way, so that if you can picture a "Valley-girl" saying this, thats about how it sounded.
Without thinking, I said
yes. Thinking back, the best decisions that i make are the spontaneous ones, because they are the ones that are most instinctual, and closest to my heart. So i never went to the Star party--but i felt like i had already found my home, and no longer needed to keep looking.
Rather than waiting to do my reveal, i'll do it now, since so many of you have figured it nout already lol.
