As promised, if you'd peeked into Building 494 on Sunday anytime from noon to 6 pm, you'd have seen dozens of chairs in the hallways and seven Literature majors (Janie Davis, Jessica Delfanti, Stacie Nellor, Nick Crosby, Carolyn Chiao, Mitch Shira, and me) scrubbing the place. Yay!
In room 143, we dusted and rearranged the chairs, cleaned the table, picked up the junk on the piano, mopped the floor, and decorated the walls:
There were more than enough blue tiles to make that room nice, so some of them got distributed around the hallways in random places. If you're curious, the tiles are removable and they're from Shalgo. (I didn't realize that these colors resemble my favorite website until my friend suspected covert promotional tactics.)
Next we tackled the student lounge, which was especially dirty from months — maybe years — of people spattering food residue in weird places. We cleaned the sink, scrubbed the walls and floor, disposed of the gross things in the refrigerator, shook out the rugs, dusted the tops of things, and organized the random books and magazines.
Then the computer lab got its trash picked up, keyboards cleaned, floor mopped, desktops cleared, and tables dusted. It also received a huge crossword puzzle with its top squares so high up on the wall that only CCS students could ever figure out how to fill them out. Here's an early part of the process of putting it up:
CCS staff provided many of the cleaning supplies and also fuel for us in the form of Woodstock's pizza. They're wonderful.
There are many more pictures on Facebook (a public album). We had fun, and we may do this again.
