So I am in the HUB, just tryin' to do my laundry for free, like any local alumna would do, and I have been here for TWO HOURS and have been waiting for a dryer all that time (!) There is one couple who was been here the entire time, and between them they have been (and still are) occupying ALL EIGHT dryers. WTF? I could rant about both electricity usage and plain inconsideration....but let's just say I'm a little frustrated. *SIGH* Anyway, free laundry=I really can't complain. (The curernt Dickinson students in the laundry room with me, who are also waiting, however, have reason to be pissed.)
On a slightly more amusing note, every time I pass the HUB boxes I have to fight the instinct to go check 'my' box. It's like it's programmed into me to detour to box 1724 every time I walk by (as I do several times a night when I am here doing laundry). Very weird. I can't remember my combination, though, so I can't even be one of those alums who goes by to see if she can still open 'her' box. Ah, well...
My friend Mike from Louisiana is arriving soon--he's presently winding his way through MD back roads on his way from BWI (he got very strange directions, and refused any assistance from me...).
One (1) dryer has opened up, so I'm going to try to dry some of my clothes and get back to my apartment......
