First Week of School

Hey Guys!

Sorry it took me awhile to get onto this blog. But I have a legit excuse!

The day I landed in Boston, I started sorority recruitment, which I was thinking about doing for a while now. Recruitment was for five days and EXHAUSTING! The first two days were the longest. On the first day, all the girls broke up into smaller groups and had to meet some of the sisters from all six sororities on campus. This process began at 1:30, and I did not come back in to my room until 8:00. On the second day, all the girls met all six sororities again, but this time we actually met more people and got to visit their houses, which most of them are beautiful- especially the ones in Boston where all the woodwork and construction felt very classic. On the third day, we had to narrow our choices down to three sororities and visit those and talk to more sisters for a longer period of time, and the following day we had to do the same for two sororities.

Bid day was two days ago, and I am officially a new member of Sigma Kappa (yay!). When I walked into the room, all the sisters were screaming for joy that I chose them, taking tons of pictures and hugs . . the energy in the room was so insane. I'm really glad I chose SK, not just because my roommate's in it, but I met so many girls that I aspire to be, or who just make me laugh or think. Sorry guys that I'm going into the details of recruitment, but that's all I've been doing since last Saturday!

As for my room, the view is awesome! Except for the fact that there is a giant tree sitting in front of it, if you look at an angle you can see the entire Boston skyline perfectly, and it's awsome to wake up in the morning and see the Prudential and the Charles River glisten. It makes me happy. Daniel and Alex will agree, this is way better than the awesome view of Baker dining I had last year.

By the way Daniel, I laughed histarically at your nair blog. I was like . . who HASN'T heard of nair? But then realized that I'm dealing with guys who don't have to worry about shaving! I'm glad you're having a WAY better time in lab than I am. Our first "lab" was a introduction, and we had to learn how to use a pipet or load a gel and stuff . . . kinda boring especially for people who've learned how to do these kinds of things a couple years ago . . but I'm optimistic that my lab course will get better.

That's all I have to say at the moment, so until next time . . .

Peace :o)
