Squeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk. That is the constant sound of both my roommate and my beds. It is one of the most annoy sounds you will ever hear. My roommate is on the top bunk and every slight movement she makes I hear. Gotta love dorm rooms.
On move in day I will never forget my initial reaction to the room. It was smaller than my room at home and two people have to live in it. Don’t even get my started on the closet space. It was hard for me to part with my beloved clothes., very hard. Our room may be the size of a closet, but it cute and filled with life.
The once stark walls and empty beds and now filled with so much color and personality. I keep finding myself printing off pictures of friends left and right. The poster sale in front of Shriver has made a huge profit off of me. Flowers and picture frames cover my once empty desk. I have made this place my home. I am always cleaning and putting things where they belong like at home. I can’t stand a messy room. It is the opposite of a tornado. I myself am not of fan on the pigpen like atmosphere. It is very unattractive. We are the typical girls with the pretty room. I wouldn’t want a bigger room or a different one. I like mine very much and know it will work out just fine this year.
Our dorm is where the party’s at. The smell when you walk in is amazing unlike a nasty guys dorm. The vanilla aroma just smells delightful as it reaches your nostrils. We have a new addition to the room, two fish. Well actually four, but two of the 28-cent fish died within 24hours. We should have expected that. They did after all come from Walmart. Rj and Rafael speed swim throughout the tiny fish bowl with murky water. That water never seems to be clean no matter what we do. I feel like they are living in a smelly sewer, but maybe they like it that way. Most nights there are always people in our dorm. It may be very small and like a cramped cubical, but we always have a good time squeezing into the room and watching The Hills premiere.
So the new surroundings were very different for me, but I’m loving every minute of it.

this line "Well actually four, but two of the 28-cent fish died within 24hours" is an instant classic.
there is plenty of promise here, sincerely. Lots to work with.
I know we talked about possibly avoiding working simply out of your dorm room, but I don't want to make you throw your work out. Maybe you could do a comparison of another room as well and try to identify the unique culture of each dorm. I assume that each place will have its own distinct feeling and personna, and this might be an area to investigate that will allow you to keep what you have done. I don't want to be the jerk that makes you start over...
we can talk more after class or on here. maybe monday's peer review session will give you some more ideas too.
thanks, Em.
