Foxy laundry!

Foxy Lady is the best song ever.
Well, I have been very lax in updating this blog. Dreadful business. I must speak with the manager about this. It's been quite busy around here, and I'm taking a short unauthorized study break to do a bit of an update. Basically, my life is boring, aside from the magic of Jimi Hendrix. I have been sitting in my room quite a lot and not doing much of anything besides the occasional bit of schoolwork (my econ assignment is almost done! Hooray!).
Had a very satisfactory "study party" today with Katie-or-Kate (not yet sure which she prefers) and Lynn. Not to tempt the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing, but I don't think the econ midterm will be so terrible. Hopefully I will remember to think things through clearly and it'll be okay. The only one I am really afraid of is my poli-sci midterm, particularly as I'm not very sure what the content is. The prof is being very mysterious indeed. Crazy man.
The weekend at home was fun, although it is a little odd being on my own again after four days of total immersion in an insanely social atmosphere. I don't think I was alone for more than an hour. It was awesome. But now I am sitting in my tiny box of a dorm room again, and Indra's watching a movie on her computer, not that we talk much anyway. Actually, she's a dream roomie if you want a quiet one. She hardly ever speaks and we don't argue over domestic issues, e.g. "You didn't clean the Big Pointy Orange-Cutting Knife and I saw you using it!" "Nuh-uh!" I do wish she talked more, sometimes, but it's probably better this way. Nobody distracts me but me, and I do a pretty good job of that myself.
Today's lesson: Allow at least two hours for laundry, or else you will have semi-wet clothing spread over your bed in a pathetic effort to dry it out after its insufficient time in the dryer. Alas. I am not a domestic goddess after all.

And if you hang things up before they are fully dry you can avoid ironing too!!! It's a little trick I learned in the army. ok so I'm now reading this blog too that you don't seem to update as regularily but oh well, they're both interesting.

Another laundry tip - to get the wrinkles out of dry clothing, spritz them with a water bottle and hang them up for a while. (It gets the most obnoxious wrinkles out, anyway.)

Well, there's nothing like laundry to bring out the comments from relatives and friends. Maybe it IS the real learning of university after all! See how eager we all are for you to post more! --Mom
