So! About my arm... I broke it by falling out of a chair. (Uhm, yea) Thought I might finally explain that. The best thing about that is it happened when I was sober. Oh yea. I rule. *bows* And my arm shrunk too much so I can already slip off my cast. The highlight of this last month was the first time I slipped it off on wednesday night and I went dancing down the hall (in a tribal-dance-like-way) and went into the bathroom to wash my arm. Im trying to type without it.. but it hurts so Im gonna slip it back on *swoink* ok better.
Except for the missing my mom a bit the first few days I hadnt been homesick at all until today. I even cried. It was a gooood stress releiving cry too... but then my room mate came home and I had to pretend I was sleeping and then go take a shower. (It was a good shower too, the first once without my cast, took about an hour, even put a handtowel on the ground to sit and just let the water run.) I talked to my mom on the phone a bit too and that made me feel better at least. And it's good that Felicia is'nt here right now so I can listen to my quasi rock real loud. Sucks to be my neighbor. Myeh, they should learn to listen to more than rap neways. ( :P phhbtbtbtbttt)
I joined a sorority. ^^ AOTT (Alpha Omicron Pi) Rush is an amazing expeirience I tell ya. Wednesday through Saturday of last week I was busy from 4pm-11pm and Sunday 10am-6pm. Sunday was bid day where you found out which sorority wants you. You go into the room in the Pub (Pence Union Building) where we met everyday before going to the different houses. When you got inside they give you an envelope with a bid card from the sorority that chose you inside. Then you sit on it for 30 min while they read rules and charters. They also reveal the Alpha Chi's houses. The AC's were disafiliated members of houses. They left their houses for two weeks to help the girls go through rush without being bias. Its hell sitting there waiting. AND THEN! They tell you to open it and there is cheering and happy tears and you run into the corner with the alpha chi's who are in your house. They give you a shirt with your house name on it. Then all of the pledges and AC's go outside the pub where your new sisters are waiting for you. They all have bags of goodies for you. Attached to the bags are balloons and they are running and screaming and jumping and crying because they know they chose you, but they dont know you chose them until that moment. It was so amazing to be wanted that much. You cant imagine the feelings of joy knowing that there is a houseful of sisters who love you already and want you to be their friend. They want to hang out with you and be there for you... *tears up* Im so glad AOTT wanted me as much as I wanted them. They are all so down to earth and friendly. The girls in my pledge class are too. None of them are fake and bitchy or slutty like the Gamma Betas or Alpha Phis. There's even a girl in there whose name is Natalie Rose. Thats cool because I go by Allie. Wednesday is the pledge-in ceremony. Im sposed to wear all white for that. (Is that a shopping trip I hear calling my name?)
I haven't been hanging out with Kristen enough lately, but Tamara and I hang all the time for lunch and down at Brewster (a cooler dorm than ours). We've been watching this kickass Korean soap opera, where this girl and this guy who like eachother... well the guy loses his memory and becomes a different guy but she recognizes him as her first love and then he gets hit by a car again and regains his memory so they fall in love again but then it looks like they migh tbe brother and sister so they cant be married... but then! It looks like he might be her ex-fiances half brother instead. Believe it or not, the way its written its all really plausible that this all could happen. They cry alot. It's entertaining to say the least.
Neways this is long enough for an update post. Promise to do it more often now.
