the boards

I have been trying to get to know all of the people in my ward, this goes especially for the girls, or sisters/women/whatever you would qualify them as, because of my calling. This goal has been helped a lot with the directory that each apartment gets. If you don't know what that is it's basically all of the names, pictures, contact information, and random facts about everyone. You can understand how helpful that would be to memorize the different names and faces. However, people like to call this directory... "the menu", simply because of the dating opportunities that it causes. Plus people could look up anyone in the ward if they wanted. But my apartment takes it one step further. In our sinkroom, I would call it a bathroom but it just has two sinks and a mirror so there's not really a "bath", we have four tack-boards on the wall. These four represent the different dating status' in COLLEGE LIFE: single guys, single ladies, dating/should be dating, and engaged. After getting our directory, we copy the pictures and print them off and then put the different people in their respective boards. We started this at the end of winter semester last year and carried it through out the spring and summer terms. But now that we have so many new people in our ward we just barely were able to make all of the new spots for everyone. So now that room has a wall covered with dating status'. Yup... that's a little creepy, but it is actually a lot of fun.
