Samantha sorority girl

I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off.  I grumble and roll over to turn it off.  I thought going to college I wouldn’t have to wake up early anymore.  I get out of bed and head into the bathroom to get ready for my day of classes and maybe talk to Crystal about maybe joining Chi Omega.  I talked to my mom about it last night when I got back to my apartment.  She seemed really excited that I was considering about joining at sorority.  I leave the bathroom and go to the closet to choose my outfit for the day.
                Dressed and ready for the day I go to the kitchen and put a bagel into the toaster.  I get the orange juice out of the fridge and go over my schedule for the day through my head.  I have only two classes today but along with talking to Crystal I want to see if I can find a job nearby.  Even though my parents are paying for everything I want to get some work experience in while I’m here.  I hope that I can find a job that won’t give me too many hours because I know how important studying is.  I know there is a coffee shop near the campus and not that far away from my apartment either.  I hear the ding of the toaster telling me that my bagel is done.  I put the bagel on a plate grab the cream cheese off the counter and go sit at the kitchen table to eat breakfast.
                I walk out of the apartment building and get into my car and head to the campus for class.  I finish class and head to the Chi Omega house to talk to Crystal.  The house is what used to be a mansion that was built by one of the founders and then was given to the school to be a dorm. I ring the doorbell and wait for one of the girls to let me in.  One of the girls opens the door and looks me up and down.
                “Can I help you?” She asks crossing her arms across her chest.
                “Yes, I was wondering if the recruiting officer Crystal was in,” I say smiling.
                “She sure is.  Come on in and I’ll get her for you,” The girl says stepping back from the doorway to let me in.
                I walk in and am amazed at how big the entryway is.  The girl shuts the door behind us and then steps in front of me.
                “Follow me please,” The girl says as she starts walking down the hallway.
                “You can wait in here while I get Crystal for you,” the girl says pointing into what looks like the living room with chairs and couches in it.
 I walk over to one of the couches in the middle of the room and sit down to wait for Crystal.  I didn’t have to wait long before Crystal walked into the room.  She walked over to the couch and sat down next to me.
                “Hey, I wasn’t expecting to see you here,” Crystal said.
                “I know but I gave a lot of thought about joining and I want to be part of Chi Omega.  I was wondering what I would have to do to join,” I said smiling at her.
                “Really? That’s great.  I’ll get a packet for you then,” Crystal says and then she jumps up from the couch and scurries off to get one of the packets for me.
                When she returns, she hands me one of the packets and I put it in my bag for safe keeping. 
                “Do you know there is another girl on campus that looks exactly like you,” Crystal says.
                I looked at her as if Crystal had grown a third head. 
                “Really?” I ask.
                “Yeah I thought she was you.  You don’t happen to have a twin that might be interested in joining do you?” Crystal asks as if I knew who this girl was.
                “Not to my knowledge.  But I was adopted so I wouldn’t rule it out,” I say.
                “Oh well then if I see her again I’ll let her know about you and see if I can get her name for you,” Crystal says.
                “That would be great thanks,” I say smiling.  “I guess I better get going now I have studying and stuff to do.”
                “Oh, what are you going to be doing?” asks Crystal.
                “I’m going to see if I can get a job near where I live,” I say.
                “That’s cool.  Where are you thinking of applying?” Crystal asks.
                “There is a coffee shop a coupe blocks away from where I live so I’m thinking of applying there,” I say.
                “Oh I know the one that named Heavenly Coffee right?” She says getting excited.  “I know the owner so put me down as a reference and I will make sure you get the job.”
                “Thank you.  I appreciate it,” I say standing up and getting ready to leave.
                Crystal get up also and walks me to the door.  We say good bye and Crystal advises me of the due date to have the packet done by.  I get into my car and leave to get home.

                When I get home I change out of the clothes I was wearing and into clothes that I think would look great for an interview.  Happy with my appearance; I head out of my apartment and start walking to the coffee shop.  Once at the coffee shop I ask one of the servers if the manager is in.  She advises me that he is and has me sit at the counter to fill out an application as she walks off and gets him.  About five minutes later the manager is standing in front of me.
