I love the frozen wastelaa...wait a minute, it's not a wasteland! We only freeze from about November April (or May in some years). Then again, those of you with thin blood tend to think that anything below 55 is freezing.
Just kidding, looking forward to the story!

Sometimes I think how great it would be to go to someplace like the University of Arizona or San Diego State where you wear shorts and a bikini top to class in January.

I would love to live anywhere like that too, but not even in Miami do girls wear bikini tops to class.

Not in Arizona either. Even in 115 degree weather, women wore halters or tanks with shorts or a sun dress to class. When the temperature hits about 60, most natives break out the parkas but the out of staters are still in their shorts.

As a native Arizonian I can state that this is absolutely true!
It was pretty fun going to ASU and in the middle of December I'm totally bundled up and then seeing the people from other states walking around in shorts (and possibly a long sleeve shirt) but no jacket and and the flip flops. Great fun.

PREF PARTY INVITES
When the three of us went to pick up our pref party invites I was on top of the world. I was headed for Venus. Not. How could they do this? How could Kathy say everybody loved me? I was sick. Why oh why did I ever get involved in this in the first place? I went over to my RC and told her I was going to drop out. She asked to see my invite list and when I showed it to her she said I was being stupid because I had some great choices left including Saturn so I should stick it out. I really liked her and was so emotionally drained I said I would. Jen got her invite to Mercury and was ecstatic. Heather was headed to Mars but continued to be very cool about the whole thing.

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.
