Open House...

Last night we had open house. Open house is always really weird and kind of awkward. At Ozark, because we don't have co-ed dorms they allow each dorm to have an open house once a semester. So for three hours the guys are allowed to view the inner workings of a girls dorm. They get to see our rooms and just hang out on our floors. For the first 30 minutes or so the boys go through what I like to call "culture shock" they are amazed at how much color there really is and how good everything smells. I'm sure their wondering " how in the world can one girl have and fit that much stuff into one room."
There are always the boys that come to open house just because of the food. The ones that come to see what their girlfriends room looks like.The boys that come planning on leaving with a girlfriend. You sometimes get the one that are just really creepy. Here's how a conversation might go on open house...
Girl- "Hi" (wondering who the strange boy standing in her room is?)
Strange boy- "I like your room."
Girl - "Thanks" (still wondering who said strange boy is)
Strange boy- [exits room after grabbing a few cookies].
Girl- [turns to roommate] " Who was that??"
Roommate- "I have no Idea"
Girl- "Quick lock the door before he comes back!"
Ha! Not all conversations go like this but...It has happened. :)
Open house has been compared to being like zoo animals on display.
Most of the time after the first 30 min. or so things become not as awkward and you just get to run around crazy. We always have a lot of fun! :)  Here are a few pictures of what my room looks like this semester...
