This semester I pledged a sorority. I don’t know how it happened, but it did. And thanks to the stereotype brought about by shows like MTV’s “Sorority Life,” I was met with little more than “what?!” or, sometimes, “why?!” by friends who saw the letters in my profile. I have never been so completely involved in something or more satisfied with a decision. But it really is something that can only be understood by those involved.
And what’s more, I’m working at Abercrombie & Fitch (which means I’ll actually have to buy some of the clothes because, quite frankly, I can’t afford them without the discount).
Besides that, I’m back! Last semester was uncontrollable. For now I have a month of Christmas break and next semester’s writing-packed schedule to look forward to. I’m planning on attending classes through summer, with a small break in the middle during which I’ll be in Ukraine. I’ve been working on my book extensively. I finally feel like it’s going somewhere. And besides, if I do get published within the next two years, I’ll have to have my own website, right?

Which sorority did you pledge? I was in Alpha Omicron Pi… and yea, all of my friends were like “what the hell!?” when I decided to ‘go greek’ because they thought that was SO uncharacteristic of me. haha But yea, once you’re in one, you understand that those mtv sororities are really… well, a bit odd! hah :)

congrats on joining a sorority. as long as youre into it.
A&F is extremely expensive. It’s crazy. I really don’t even like alot of their things. so I guess that’s good.
goodluck with next semester!

Ooh Abercrombie & Fitch ay? I hate those jobs where you have to wear their stuff. And it’s always the expensive stores! Not fair. I know 4 years sounds like ages! But it does feel like we”ve been together for ever. I spose cos we started going out whn i was 16 its like he’s always been there :D
Can’t wait to read your book! Be sure to sell them online when it’s published so i can order one! :D

I always wonder what it will be like being in a sorority. Besides just living in a big house together. Wow! I would love to work at a store where I usually buy their clothes! haha.. DISCOUNT!

Wow, good luck on the sorority thing. I did not know that Johnny Depp was nominated for an award for that movie. I personally think it bombed but oh well. Kudo’s to him right?

Congratulations on joining a sorority! I, too, am pledging for one, Sigma Alpha Iota. Contrary to popular belief, some sororities are really worth it, and is actually a good experience to go through in college. Hope you enjoy your sisterhood =)

I’ve only been into an A&F store once and couldn’t figure out which clothes were guys and which were girls lol…I guess I’m just not into fashion. Good luck on the book! I wish I could pull something like that off.
