I'm super crazy busy these days, which is why when my roommate Adeline requested that I blog about something she didn't already know about, it took me two weeks to do it (btw- this is it. ya know, in case you didn't get that). So Ade this is dedicated to YOU!
"Well," you might be asking yourself, "what could be so clever, funny, touching, or otherwise noteworthy that you'd take time from your super crazy busy day in order to let us all know via the interwebs?" Well, savvy reader, I did laundry today.
You might think that's no big deal ("NBD" for you whippersnappers out there), but you have to take into account that I'm super crazy busy (as previously mentioned. twice.) so
A) I don't want to waste my time with things like grocery shopping, showering (I do give in on that one for the sake of others, but it's a huge sacrifice and I don't mind saying I don't always shave my legs. so there!), OR doing laundry. it's be WEEKS.
B) It's been WEEKS, so there's a crap ton of the stuff and the laundry room is getting renovated TOMORROW and it will be shut down for 3 weeks and I'm trying to avoid lugging my crap ton of laundry to the bldg next door.
Get it?
Oh it gets better.
Because I'm so super crazy busy I could only justify laundry day if I multitasked it (even now I'm doing 12 things at once. Bet you didn't suspect that b/c I do it so successfully), so I took the book for my Caribbean Culture class and stuck it in my laundry basket so as to have something to read while I wait for the wash. This cuts down on the up/down elevators while still keeping me moderately busy (like I said, I prefer to undertake a higher level of multitasking). You can only imagine my excitement about actually getting a machine (apparently other people don't want to lug their crap ton of laundry to the other bldg so the ENTIRE bldg is doing laundry today) and i got not 1, but 2!!!! Next to each other!!!!
So I loaded up and walked away, content in my productivity... which seemed a little on the light side... because?
I FORGOT MY BOOK IN MY BAG! THE CONTENTS OF WHICH WAS ENTIRELY IN THE MACHINE!!!!!
I yelled out "HOLYOHMYGOSHNOOOOOO!", ran back to the machines, sifted through both, up to my elbows in soapy, dirty water and dirtier clothes, didn't find anything, ran up to my apt to make sure I really did take the book, and confirmed that yes, it was gone. (Deep breath) Went back to machines, opened the darks and found little pieces of white, super clean, paper all over the place.
Perfect.
Not my best laundry day, plus now I have no idea how I'm going to complete this assignment (did I mention the book is "La Carreta"? A play from Puerto Rico? As in, I can't run across the street to the bookstore and get a new one? Yeah, there'll be no Spanish reading today.
Which is why I had time to blog this.
