It's finally here! The day you never thought would come. The one you'd write on your calendar and think "Oh that's so far away!" Well surprise -- it's arrived. These are just a few of the thoughts I have had so far today -- my first day of recruitment.

1. The last time I got up this early was for high school!

No seriously, 6:30 arrived way too quickly.

2. What if my outfit isn't good?

3. What if they don't like me?

4. Girl chill, they're gonna love you.

5. There are so many girls in this room.

I was blown away by the sheer quantity of us all gathered together.

6. These lines are stressing me out!!!

7. This is so incredibly well orchestrated -- I can't believe it.

8. So they took my coat... How will I get it back?

Bonus points if they took it off for you.

9. Lots of games and questions. I never knew I could talk so much so quickly.

10. These girls are so sweet!

11. Aww, this party is over already? Sad.

12. Wait -- that's my coat! How'd they do that!?

Bonus points again if they put it on for you.

13. I'm exhausted and still have how many more??

14. Oh well -- I wanted to do this. And I'm so thankful that I am!

15. Onto the next!

In the spirit of rush week -- let the countdowns begin and the songs be sung, keep the energy high ladies! The fun has just started!
