My First College Laundry Run

Today I took my first adventure to the laundry in the Basement on Stearns West. I arrived to the basement with all my clothes, my All soap, and my bounce dryer sheets to see that the Stearns West laundry room had too many people for my liking, and alot of the same people I have been hanging out with. I figured this would be the perfect time to broaden my horizons and search out another place to do my laundry. I ventured over to Stearns East(the two buildings share a basement tunnel, which I took) and found the laundry room there. I met the people and started up my laundry, taking precaution to sort out my lights/whites and the darks. I started up two machines, bringing my total to $2.00, which I paid with by swiping my BuffOne Card.

In the meantime, my friend Abby(picture coming soon) from my leadership camp met me at the laundry room, because she wanted to hang out. We talked, listened to music, and skyped some people: my dad, mom, anna, haley, michael, and molly. After about 35 minutes I moved my clothes from the washing machines to the dryers. Another $2.00, bringing my total to $4.00!

More waiting.....

And waiting..

And waiting...

Now, the laundry is done! I check it out, and notice that the laundry is just as wet as when I put it in! ARRGGG! so, I swipe my card 2x more, once for each dryer and begin the process all over. This brought my total to $6.00.

After all was said and done, I folded my laundry, said bye to my new friends and headed to back Stearns West. Success!

Something else I worked on while doing laundry..my home-screen for my iPhone. Please check out my blog that @zjh90 and I have. http://zviphone.blogspot.com

Howdy Colorado!

Hey all! I say all just because, I really don't have that many people following this blog. It is kind of just a place for me to write and talk about life at Boulder. So I left my house this morning at 5:30am for our flight out of San Jose. Said bye to my puppy, Tux and my sister Gina. : (
We arrived at the airport checked in. We arrive at security and we realize the lady never gave us our boarding passes. I now had to run back to the check-in and ask for them. The lady prints them out and stuffs them in an envelope. I run back to the security line and find out that the lady gave me boarding passes for completely other people. Now my parents are furious. Our plane boards in 5 minutes and we haven't even gotten through the security check point. I go back and get the right tickets, phewf. We barely made our plane.
Now for the plane ride: It was nice, smooth and the 3 of us slept the whole time. In the middle of the flight I woke up and played some Baseball Slugger on my iPhone. I hit 23 homeruns in one round of the homerun derby. I was pretty stoked. At the end of the flight, the ride got a little turbulent.Ok, now to the good part!
At the rent a car place (Budget), a cute little girl and her mom befriended me. We talked about their trip to Aspen, my school(her husband went there) and they shared their jelly bellies with me. :D Super nice Colorado folk! And then my mom, dad, and I stopped at Sonic!! @zjh90 is jealous, I can tell from here. I had a CrissSonic Sandwich, some tater tots, and a meaty breakfast burrito. yum! :D Now im in my hotel, on 28th and Folsom. To most of you that means absolutely nothing. But it has a swimming pool, and a putting green! How awesome is that?
Thanks for reading! Hope it was mildly exciting!

BTW: the picture of me was taken by my dad, Rodney. And the picture of the campus was taken from http://www.colorado.edu/
