Well, tuesday was a kind of blah day too. I did my laundry...that took pretty much all afternoon. It started after class at about 3. I'd decided that I absolutely needed to find a laundromat this week. (I've been told that there _is_ one. They've even got driers...Nobody knows where it is though.) I was getting down to my last few pairs of underwear (i'd done laundry once before...when i was living with my host family.) At about 3, i gave in and decided to wash a few tshirts in the sink. After I did that, I realized what a waste it was to only do a little bit of laundry at a time...So, I filled the bathtub with water, poured in a bunch of woolite and threw most of my clothes in. At first I tried to mash them about by hand, but it was way too awkward....So I put on a pair of shorts and started to do the wine-making thing....I jumped up and down on them till the water turned black. At that point, I realized that I didn't own a clothesline...So I emptied the tub and filled it with fresh water and poured in some more woolite. I mashed for a bit and put on my last reasonably clean pair of pants for the trip to progress. I figured i'd at least be able to find some twine at one of the kisoks on the way...no dice. Progress didn't have twine either...but they did have clothespins. So, I headed home with my task at least half completed....I figured I could improvise and come up with clothesline, even if it were made up of a serial or 10Base-T line. Luckily, jerry had some extra clothesline which he gave me. I returned to the stomping, changing the water twice more. At this point it was about 8:30 and I was exhausted. I spent the rest of the evening vegging and coping with the fact that my dripping clothes had poured enough water on the ground for me to observe that my floor is not indeed flat, but inclined....the lowest part just happens to be where I've got my bed. So, my towel was sacrificed to the gods of the floor. That was about all I did on tuesday. I definately appreciate washing machines more than I used to.
