How to Draw a Watermelon. Or: Discombobulation

What happens when you put a bunch of over-tired graduate students in a confined space and make them play Cranium?

Complete chaos, that's what.

I ask you, how would YOU draw a watermelon? I had to do it blind.
I drew an oval with striped lines. AND I drew a slice of watermelon (looking vaguely, I'll admit, like a pizza slice). It had seeds and everything. Since my confused partner, Andrea L (www.lettersfromtherock.blogspot.com) , had NO idea what I was doing, I decided to start drawing random pieces of fruit. I drew in an apple (which, what with my closed eyes and all, I drew INSIDE the watermelon slice) and a banana. The other Andrea (Andrea G) took a picture of us while we were trying to do the Sensosketch. The only appropriate words to define our expressions are "smug" (me) and "perplexed" (Andrea L). I feel this sums up our entire relationship.

I won't even go INTO detail on when I had to get Andrea to guess "delivery room" using only charades methods. Let's just say that Andrea G has a rather embarrassing video that she is EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN from ever posting on ANY internet site.

Also, I have learned that trying to hum Olivia Newton John's "Let's Get Physical" is confusing, as the "physical, physical" part sounds just like "Gloria, Gloria."

I still think you were drawing a pizza slice or apple pie. Also, we suck at humdinger! We needed Lyndsey for that one!
