Bid

My neck hasn't been happy with me the last few days. Looking to my left is beginning to hurt, and I'm a bit stiff. I'm worried that I'm going to wake up with my neck injured like over the summer. I don't want to be on all those medications again, and I certainly don't want to be in that level of pain ever again. I've been taking steady doses of Aleve and using those lidocaine patches. I seriously hope his clears up soon.
So, onto my day today. I was nervous all weekend, and very giddy. Today was a big day for me. Why? Jen and I were called to a Kappa meeting to find out if we were accepted into the sorority. Sky sat down with us and gave us envelopes. They contained a certificate officially inviting us to join the sorority. Jen and I both accepted (of course), and I couldn't stop smiling. We posed with our invitations and Sky took pictures of us. I was so happy. I got my bid to join. Sky then told us about our induction. On Friday, we have a meeting at 4:30 to begin the induction. We have to wear a hot pink button down with black pants and flats. I don't own ANY pink shirts, so I guess that needs to change. Can you say shopping spree? I was informed of the sororities constant wearing of pink, so I'm going to need a few different tops. Pink isn't exactly my favorite color, but I guess I can deal with it. Anyway, during the induction we light candles, and begin our pledging process. This is so exciting. Like, holy shit. I noticed that today I was being more open and very sociable with Jen and Sky. I'm the most socially awkward person you could ever possibly meet in your entire life. I'm so shy and quiet. But once I open up, I'm surprisingly inappropriate and fun. I really hope I can open up to all of the sisters and enjoy this. I'm so excited to begin my pledging and make friends. Jen and I are now official Pledge Siblings. Am I beginning to sound too girlie? I feel as if I'm harping on this subject too much, but it just makes me so happy. I can finally have an official group of friends.
Oh, and something else cool happened today. I attended a Q&A session with the Editor-in-Chief of Popular Photography Magazine. She's so interesting and has a ton of insight. Afterwards, I grabbed one of her business cards and she invited me to email her if I want her opinions. I do. I have an Instagram page that I post my photos on, but it's nothing really professional. Even yet, I want to get her opinions on if they're at least decent. She urged us all to enter free monthly competitions held by the magazine. Maybe I will. But first, I need a good quality camera.
So that was my day. It really wasn't bad. In fact, it was pretty amazing. Today was one of those days where you look back on it and wish every day was that great.
