This past week has been so busy with getting settled into my apartment, working at Pier 1, and above all, preparing for my sorority's formal recruitment. From 9:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon, we've been singing, talking, and decorating to get ready to present our house to hundreds of girls to get some new sisters. I was honestly kind of dreading this week (which we refer to as 'work week'). Ending my summer early to come and practice something I've already gone through did not sound appealing. But it was surprisingly fun! I learned a lot about some of my sisters; there were some girls that I have never even talked to, and when we got the chance we discovered we had a lot in common! The other seniors and I have been preparing a poem to read on the last day of recruitment to show the potential new members (or PNMs) what being an Alpha Gam means to us. It really portrays the importance of sisterhood and how evident and meaningful it is in our sorority. I started thinking about graduating at the end of the year and leaving these girls, and I started getting emotional! I really have found a home away from home with this sorority, and I'm so thankful for that. I'm really excited to get some new sisters and spread the Alpha Gam love!
As much as I've been enjoying it, though, I definitely feel like I could just collapse from the hustle and bustle. Unfortunately, I've been going from there straight to work the past couple days and haven't been getting home until around 10:00, so I haven't gotten much of a break. By the time I get back to my apartment all I want to do is get in bed! But the other day I had such a scare it was a little hard for me to fall asleep!
I found this ugly bug on my bathroom floor! It was big, too, and pretty fast-moving! I scrambled for a toothpaste box to smack it with. It was so gross! And, you know, the one had to come from somewhere, so I kept thinking there might be more around! But I haven't seen any since then, so I think I'm safe...for now, at least haha.
Other than that, apartment living has been pretty awesome. And now both of my roommates are moved in, so it's great! I can't believe classes are starting on Monday, though. I wish I had a few more days to just enjoy being back before the stress of schoolwork takes over. But at the same time it would be great if I had a fast-forward button for life because I'm so excited for Patrick to get here on Saturday! It feels like I've been waiting forever haha.
Until then, and especially now that work week is over, I am just going to spend time with the roommates, relax, and catch up on some sleep!
