Sometimes when you live in a new place you have to do new things.

Like laundry.
How is laundry new?
Let me tell you... first you have to go the main apartment building and load up your laundry card (my fancy apartment complex has these)... make sure you have your laundry basket. After you're all loaded up walk into a door that doesn't open because you're sure that's where the laundry room is... next walk into the indoor tennis court because maybe it's across from there?? No it's definitely not... so you walk into the bathrooms as quickly as possible because people are watching you at this point. Go pee... because your nervous. After you pee look in the mirror try to remember with all your might where these laundry facilities could be..... okay you really don't remember. Suck it up and go back into the hallway. Run back into the bathroom. Think harder!! Do you need to pee again? No... that's just ridiculous. Okay... go back out. Ask the nice, basically deaf lady at the desk where the laundry facilities are. She'll ask what building you're in. When you tell her she'll say "Come look at this map." So you do... you find your building on the map but nothing about laundry. Keep in mind you are still carrying your laundry around with you. Anyways... deaf lady will then say well do you know the direction of your building... yes you do because... well... you just came from there. So she'll take you to a window and ask which direction your building is in. When you point it out she'll say "Well you should be able to do it in that building over there where that car is turning (points to car turning but all you'll see is your apartment building... knowing that there is not a basement for you to do your laundry in)" So... you'll say "Thank you!" and kindly leave. Next drive around hoping to see a building that maybe has a laundry room but not sure what that looks like... so you'll decide to keep driving and just go home... nope changed your mind you don't want to go home because you don't have internet and you have things that HAVE to be done and you need the internet. So, you decided to go to the nearest Starbucks and use there internet.
And there you go. Laundry is not done but you are at Starbucks getting other things done. YAY... try again tomorrow.
