November 5th

I am so behind in blogs. Damnit! I am sorry but I was not able to take Rikki, my laptop, with me over break. Thus I couldn't write any blogs. Which means that I became behind in my work. As a result, they are going to be late, possibly very late. And I am sorry. Audience please accept this apology! I am truly sorry. For once I am not just sorry but am truly sorry. If it makes you feel any better, on this Monday my fingers are bleeding from all the blogs that I am writing. Literally I think that they are going to fall off from over use! Well, besides blogs it was a boring day. Darn, I have those. The only interesting was buying some laundry tokens. Another thing that I neglected for far too long was my laundry pile. Once you run out of socks and underwear it becomes an issue. The reason that the chore of laundry was delayed for so long is because it is such a pain in the ass to do laundry at St. Nicolas! The basic process is buy some "jetons" or tokens from Crous which is located near the university, but was closed over break. Then use the one washing machine that the dorm has. Seems simple, because it is, but don't be too deceived. There are two issues at hand here, two obstacles that I don't want to face. The first is the cost of a jeton. They price on these miniscule coins is 1.40 euros. That translates in being about a dollar eighty. One dollar and eighty cents for a small load, the machine isn't very big, of laundry. Crous, not cool! The second issue that I have is the fact that there is only one machine in the entire dorm. This makes finding a timeslot to do laundry a problem. My solution, two in the morning. It works but is a pain in the ass. I don't know why buying the laundry tokens was interesting, perhaps because of all the annoyance it caused me. So it really was only interesting to me because I am now at 2:13 a.m. doing my laundry in St. Nicolas. Who needs sleep right? Oh yeah humans like me.
