First let me start by saying that spring break was way fun. I went to Paris with my mom, step-dad, step-brother, his girlfriend, my beloved little brother, and my best friend Meredith! We all stayed in a condo right off of the Arch de Triumph. We were only there for about 5 days, so I was bummed that we didn’t get to do everything we wanted to. But we did do a lot.
We did some shopping (everything is super expensive in Paris), we obviously saw the Eifel Tower, went to Le Louvre, which was my favorite, took a tour of Paris with a tour guide, went to Versailles, and visited Marie Antoinette’s private home La Petit Trianon. I loved visiting the castles. I know this is so silly, but every time I visit one I think, ”I must have been a Princess in a past life because I am way too comfortable here.” Haha! But seriously, the castles are the coolest thing to visit. I think it is the idea of living in a place like that is so magical. You would have glamorous balls, the beautiful gowns, the handsome knight in shining armor…
What can I say, I would much rather live in a fairy tale than the real world…
Any way, everything was fantastic. It was good to see the family. I hadn’t seen my step brother in a couple of months. the only thing that would have made it more perfect is if my boyfriend were there, but that’s okay. However, my fairy tale came to an end and I had to come back to reality and start working on school work again. Luckily, I had planned ahead and got all my homework done up through wednesday after spring break. So I didn’t have to worry about anything at all on the plane, which was good because the planes, going there and coming back, were delayed a total of like 14 hours. It was slightly ridiculous. Any way, school started back and everything got really busy. I have three projects due in the next two weeks, a lingerie party to finish planning, and I have to get my life guarding re=certification. So I’m pretty busy. Not to mention, I have to make a really hard decision.
I have to decide whether or not to stay active in my AOII sorority. Its a lot, a lot of money. And with semester at sea that I am doing, I really can’t afford to be spending four thousand dollars a year on a sorority, that honestly, I feel like I am turning in more excuses than actually going to things. So, I don’t know. Most of my friend aren’t AOII’s. But this is my fault because I have not been near as active as I should be. But on the other hand, if I stay in I have to go through rush again, and I promise, rush is something you only want to do once. Oh and I didn’t get the Gamma Chi program. So that bummed me out too. But I don’t know. I guess, since I have already paid for the remainder of the year, I will make the best of it, be as active as possible, and try and be excited to do everything. Hopefully then I will be able to make a better dicision then. I will either drop, or probate, which means I wouldn’t have to pay near as much for next semester. But I will also have to be temporarily suspended when I study abroad. So really, I should probably stay in, because I only have to endure one more semester of AOII, then I’ll be gone for a semester, then when I come back, I’ll either have alumini status or be on the senior plan.
Any ideas anyone?
