First Days

I meant to blog yesterday, but I was exhausted. It was a busy day. I didn't sleep much the night before. I got up a half hour earlier than normal in order to do my makeup. Having my hair and makeup done is a sorority requirement. I put on basic eye liner with mascara and called it a day. I put my hair up in a pony tail, got a nice top on, and headed out. My first class was canceled (due to MORE snow). I waited in the library, and I found some of the sorority girls. Each day I get dressed up (Monday and Wednesday), I have to take a picture with one of them to prove I was there and dressed appropriately. I posed with 2 of them, and someone took our full-body photo. I got that photo out the way, then chatted with them for a bit. I took my leave after a while, and continued to do some work. My psych class went fast enough, and was relatively easy. We have a test next week, so I should probably start studying for that. During the 2hr layover between classes, Jess and I went to Sephora. It was time to do some makeup shopping. I got a chubby stick, lip liner, blush, application pads, and an eye shadow pallet of a million colors. I spent $75 on makeup. Holy shit. I was supposed to be going out with the Kappa President for dinner and I had no money left. I texted her and told her I ran out of money. She was actually really nice about it, and told me that she spent $160 on makeup her first time buying it. Damn. Being a girl is expensive. After shopping, I ran to my Buddhism class (I was a couple minutes late, but he didn't mind). The rest of my classes were canceled, so I headed home with Elijah.
I got home and told my mom about the makeup. She was amazed at the cost, but was at least happy that I got quality makeup. She showed me how to apply lip liner and blush. She is also letting me borrow her BB cream till I get my own (hopefully today). I played around with the makeup last night and texted the girls a little more. I talked to Pixie and Nala. Pixie is really funny and sweet. Nala is kind of shy, but is sweet nonetheless.
Today I woke up and did my "routine". BB cream, eye makeup, blush, then chubby stick and lip liner. Ugh. So much stuff on my face. I mean, I think I did pretty good for my first time doing all this. I made sure to thoroughly inspect myself before I left. I even sent a pic to Jess to see how I did. She has yet to respond, but I'm not worried. It's really just a lot of work to keep up all day. How to women do this? So far, being a girly girl is kinda difficult.

I wrote the above this morning on my way to school. I meant to post it when I got off the subway, but forgot...oops. So I'll just continue it now I guess.
I got to school early and asked one of the girls if they could take a picture with me. We met up, took my picture, and left for class. I went through my cycle of classes, and it soon ended. Time for tie dye at Jen's apartment. She doesn't live far from school, only about 2 blocks. It's a nice little building. We got to her apartment on the 14th floor and I met her dogs. They were adorable. One looked like a brown pit bull/chihuahua and was named Lana. The other was a fluffy blonde corgie type of dog named Daisy. They were both adorable and super friendly. Lana actually gave me a little scratch on my face. After chatting and playing with the dogs, Jen and I tried to figure out the tie dye. It looked more purple than pink, and there wasn't much of it. We each had our own bowl, and dunked our shirts in the dye. There wasn't really enough dye so they both had some fairly obvious white patches where we ran out of dye. We decided to cross our fingers and hope this works. If it doesn't, we only have until Friday to make them again. Jen said she'll let me know how they come out in the morning. If they don't come out great, then we need to find a tie dye kit FAST and I'll go to her house to try it again tomorrow. After the tie dye, we ordered pizza. Chicken Parmesan pizza with a side of meatballs. Yes. While we waited for delivery, Jen and I decided to look over and discuss some sorority stuff. We talked about how awkward it was texting everyone and getting to know new people. Then we went over the Greek Alphabet and she showed me a video to help remember it. We discussed more sorority stuff and the phone rang. Jen buzzed up the pizza man, and dinner had arrived. From there, there was no more sorority talk. We got to know each other and discussed college, her dogs (rescue dogs), where she works, and some other stuff. It was so much fun hanging out with her. I really like her. I'm glad she's my pledge sister. We continued eating like pigs and then her fiancé came home from work. His name is Jay. He's a nice guy from what I could tell. I checked the time, and it was later than I thought. We said our goodbyes, and she hugged me saying I was welcome any time. I may be going back over there tomorrow to retry tie dye if it doesn't come out right. Cross your fingers. Although, I wouldn't mind hanging out with her  again.
By the way, the font is messed up again. I know...
