I survived my first Rush Week. I almost feel like it was a just barely kinda moment. There were constant changes to what was going on, 45 completely stressed out girls, a sick assistant one day and to cap it all off, a seal broke on the back of the dishwasher & I did appetizers for Pref Night in 1/2" of standing water. The cupcakes that I made, well, looked like cupcakes that I made. They were obviously not bakery bought. And I frosted them about 5 minutes before the girls showed up, due to that whole standing water, no helper issue. I wanted to sit down & cry at one point. Seriously. But after having at least 10 girls tell me how much they'd been talking about how they love me and how great I am, I just kept going. I didn't want to let them down. Which leads me to the next bit of news.
The girls have doubled the size of the sorority. Doubled. I will soon be cooking for almost 90 girls. OMG! I am in awe of all they accomplished & absolutely terrified of just how crazy it is going to get this year! Who's up for guiness size batches of granola making.....
So I just wrote a really long comment about how thankful I am for everything you do for us and it got deleted, so let me summarize.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is in love with your food! I know I personally told a ton of girls during rush how awesome you and your food are, and the new girls cannot wait to start eating at the house. I know sometimes we may not all seem appreciative of you, but trust me we are. You are such a breath of fresh air compared to last year! If you ever feel unappreciated or disrespected in any way, please let me know, because I will take care of it, or at least brighten your day somehow. I know we are all women, but sometimes I think some of the girls forget that we are all adults now...But, I would just like to say that you are freaking amazing, and I think I speak for everyone when I say we love you!
Love, April
p.s. congratulations on surviving your first recruitment!
April,
