Hey! Sorry I haven't updated in a bit, I'm trying to keep this not completely live just in case. So day 2 we could be invited back to max of 7. I got my schedule and I had
Belle
Sleeping Beauty
Pocahontas
Jasmine
Alice
Mulan
I was very disappointed to not see
Ariel or Nala and a bit disappointed not to see Esmeralda. I wasn't surprised that Cinderella wasn't there (my conversations were THAT awkward), but I was surprised to see Alice since I didn't really feel a connection. But I was excited about Belle and Pocahontas and excited to give Jasmine another try, so I decided to shake off the disappointment and focus on the fact that 6 houses DID want me back whereas many of my friends were only invited back to 3 or 4 of their least favorites.
Pocahontas: Once again I fell in love with this house. Their philanthropy is one of my favorites and very close to my heart. We made a cute little craft and my conversations were just as good as the day before. All of the girls remembered my name when they left to go meet other PNM's, and I felt very at home. I never expected to like this house so much.
Mulan: Once again, this house surprised me by being likeable. Their activity was more interactive and made it easy to talk to the girls. The girls I talked to were for the most part very tall and blonde, definitely the opposite of the negative stereotype, and the conversation was natural. I still wasn't sure if I could see myself as a sister here, but I had a good time.
Alice: I talked to the same exact girls that I talked to yesterday (I was the only one who had this happen), and once again the conversation was just okay. Their craft was cute but their philanthropy wasn't one that I was super excited about.
Belle: This was one of my favorite houses, so I was glad to be asked back, but I can't help but think it was only because of a certain rule. I still tried my very hardest and tried to be as social and engaging as possible, but I know from the other day's cuts that conversation is not everything. I did have good conversations and met a lot of sisters, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed to be asked back.
Jasmine: I was a little surprised to be asked back here, but it was a pleasant surprise. I got picked up by a girl I had talked to the first round, and I also talked to a girl I had met first semester which put me more at ease. My first few conversations were great but the last girl and I had some awkward pauses, and she seemed confused that i was actually doing the craft. I liked this house a lot more though and hope to go back 
Sleeping Beauty: I really was not looking forward to this house, but it actually was not bad at all. I enjoyed doing the craft and the girl I talked to was extremely pretty, something I didn't expect at the "ugly" house. She was very social and she and i knew a lot of the same people, so we found stuff to talk about. I still didn't quite feel a connection with the house though.
At the end of the day we had to rank 5 houses on top, and then if we had more, we had to rank them in order of preference so my list ended up
Love:
Belle
Jasmine
Pocahontas
Alice
Mulan
Like:
Sleeping Beauty
I'm so nervous after the first round of cuts to see the next one, but I'm hoping for the best!
