Last night our the students put on "Singled Out," a dating game show. Contestants were separated by a screen from the prospective date and answered questions. All of them were really funny, some of them were really hard. The questions were definitely weighted towards those who were creative and could think on their feet. For instance, one question: "Rap a song about your favorite breakfast cereal and me." So they had to make up a rap right there and do it into the microphone. Needless to say, some of the contestants got the "deer in the headlights look" as they were being watched by a hundred or so cheering students.

Some of my students were contestants, and two of them won dates! I got the lowdown from them this morning. One of them said, "It was the culmination of all of my romantic dreams!" Then she told me the "date" had been a hamburger in the lobby of the dorm.

Yeah, well, I've had worse dates.
