Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Woke up, husband is gone. Maybe he went to the store? Maybe he left a note? Maybe I could call him? I could maybe find out those things if I got up from the couch.

I finally used my instant pot, which I have owned forever! I just made rice, and it was so easy. The only problem is that it came out like sticky rice and TCG prefers fluffy rice.

Okay, I guess he has gone up to sleep, which makes sense, considering I probably woke him up several times last night.

hivemind ? - a friend's daughter is off to college in the fall and they just made a post on FB that she is wanting to RUSH in the fall and would like letters of recommendation for sororities and then listed like a dozen.

Don't you usually wait to see what the houses are like on a campus before deciding to RUSH?

This seems ass backwards.

At my college, sorority rush was always the week before classes started in August. The idea was that rush week is how you get to know the sororities. (At Miami, there were like 4 rounds of rush, so in theory that was enough time to get an idea of what the sororities are like.)

Your idea makes more sense, though. Greek rush should be later into the first semester, or even the beginning of the second semester.

At my school there was a general extracurricular festival the first week of the year, with the clubs and greek groups. You chatted with the greeks, then did rush later for those you were interested in.

oh huh, well there you go.

I also thought some schools did not let people rush until second year.

At the University of Georgia sorority rush was the week before school started. But then, a lot of students arrived on campus knowing what they wanted, because of family members or older friends.

At Duke it was the start of second semester.
