Domino Effect

Yesterday was my first laundry day since Ive gotten here! ICK. My room was getting a little bit messy. Earlier yesterday I went to Aldi's and spent about five minutes just starring at the detergent aisle. I finally picked out liquid detergent and fabric conditioner. I have never even used fabric conditioner, but I got some any way. So after classes were over I took all my clothes down to do laundry. The domino effect began. I apparently was not supposed to put the fabric conditioner in the washer that I used. There are only two designated washers that allow that stuff. My clothes were linty. The I ran out of acceptable coinage to put in the washer and used a two pound coin, but it only counted as one pound (bye bye two dollars). Then when washing was done I put my clothes in the dryer and had the perfect amount of acceptable change left. Everything was good until I accidentally pressed the button for the dryer below mine and gave them an extra 30 minutes. I hope they were watching their clothes because it was set to be in for 78 minutes. haha! whoops! And mine of course had zero. So I went next door to get more change from the Village Office and the lady said she doesnt give change. Gah. I then decided to run across the street to the bookstore and buy something cheap. Well the cheapest thing in the bookstore was a pack of gum, but we all know that I dont chew gum until Easter. So I bought a postcard instead. Went back and put my clothes in the dryer, took them out 30 minutes later. Everything from my two loads of laundry were still soaking and I had absolutely no more change!!! If you can believe it my room is even more of a mess and I have sweaters hanging in my window, socks on my floor, and pants drapping off of my bookshelf. After laundry was done one of my flatmates asked if I wanted to go to the gym. I said sure, I needed to work off some of that frustration. Went to look at my IPOD and it wasnt charged at all because the night before I left it on instead of turning it off. Poo. Today my flatmates Jo and I went to Weekend Wakeup at the gym. My muscles hurt a little bit! Today is also Jo's birthday so we're all cooking something tonight and then going to the movies. After that a few of us are going over to our new found french friends place and having a little get together. On Thursday night we went to the Ceilidh, which was soososos much fun. I felt like it was straight out of a Jane Austen movie, like Pride and Prejudice, where everyone dances together doing waltz(s) and stuff. It was a great experience of Scottish culture. And there were men in kilts! Cant beat that. Well I need to get back to reading my novel for next week's class! Toodles
