What happened to my life?

I'm back at USC now for sorority recruitment school, the two week period that I go into a cave where everything else in my life is halted. So far, I've been here for 4 days, 13 hours a day. Last year, it was the most exhausting process and by the end of the 3 weeks, my voice had completely disappeared and I had come down with a horrible cold. What a great way to start the semester. This year, I am here the same amount of hours, if not more, but it's less physically exhausting because I'm on a purely organizational team so I don't learn any of the bouncing, singing stuff. I miss my life though. I was having such a wonderful summer hanging out with so many cool people, and it is like the rug has been pulled out from under me. It's like entering an alternate universe where I don't even recognize my life as my own, but as soon as recruitment stuff is over, life returns to normal and hopefully all the friendships I made during the summer will still be around.

So I'll be here at the house all day, every day from now until the 21st, but somehow I have to find time to move into my apartment, meet my new roommates, and go to first week's classes. Then on the 22nd, I'm taking the red eye flight to new jersey for my cousin's wedding. It's a crazy crazy time, but please do call my cell phone and remind me that there is a world outside this cave...because I'm starting to doubt it.
