Last Wednesday night, my section, C1W, teamed up with C2W for a section activity. Unlike any other activities we've done, this one incorporated a service project along with going out afterward. We spent an hour cleaning various places around Cook Hall, then dressed up and went to Applebees--hence the title, "Cinderella Night." I'll admit I was somewhat apprehensive about the cleaning part at first; cleaning my own messes doesn't bother me whatsoever, but cleaning other peoples' messes can be a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, Cornerstone Housekeeping has been doing an excellent job, which greatly reduced the difficulty of our chores. Liz, my ever-prepared RA, made a list and assigned two to four people to each job. Two girls from C2W and I cleaned the 2nd floor lounge's kitchen. Initially it seemed like a daunting task, but it ended up being highly enjoyable and inspiring both humorous and serious conversations about everything from celebrities to our futures.
With the immense satisfaction of having a clean dorm building, we proceeded to change out of our nasty cleaning clothes and look as nice as we possibly could in about 20 minutes. Everyone's transformation was sufficient proof that no more than half an hour should be necessary to get ready for class in the morning. Upon our arrival to Applebees, a considerable amount of time was spent debating whether the place we parked was a h
andicapped space or not. While it was somewhat of a frustrating discussion, it inspired jokes that kept us entertained all night. We took full advantage of the 1/2 off appetizers, I was forced to try artichoke dip, many photos were taken, and some of us gave the others an anatomy lesson on how everyone's palate is different and what that entails as far as food textures. After we finished eating, took a couple group pictures, and wished everyone a great Easter break, we piled once again into our cars and returned to school.
