Tonight I was invited to visit a student’s dorm room for the clean room competition. She and her roommate had covered every inch of their walls with wrapping paper, and they covered their desks with contact paper. They had obviously worked hard on their room, and they even dressed themselves up for the occasion. Both of them were wearing large paper flowers on their heads, and one of them had painted her face. When the judges came, my student & her roommate performed a song and dance for the judges and offered them some snacks.

If they win, they’ll get to stay in their room for 1 more semester. That’s good, but it’s not as good as winning the dorm beauty contest. The dorm beauty contest is being held on Saturday. Whoever wins that will get to keep her room for an entire year!
