So it was my first class today. It was math, almost 3 hrs in a row. But we didn't even do anythinga bout math. We just got course outline handouts. For the rest of 2 and a half hrs, our prof talked about constellations, stars, ships... that sounded more astronomy. I remember a little from that class. The weird thing is that he broke our class into small classes in which we'll actually learn something. I'm in Tuesday 11:30am slot with Ryiko, my roommate Fiona, Christine (yes, another Tine here) and another girl I haven't met. So on Mondays, I don't have any class. So much for monday attitudes...
But right now I'm a bit distraught because my first laundry didn't go too well. It's nothing catastrophic, actually. In the first load I put my PJs and socks. I was going to divide the load into three but the charge was too expensive (2 pounds per use) so in the second one, I put everything else, including one pair of jeans, underwears, a pink striped GAP Tshirt and a white vinyle jacket. SERIOUSLY... I thought it would be okay... Beside, it wouldn't make much sense to put in just one pair of jeans alone. So against my precautions, I threw everything in there.
At first it seemed alright. I didn't notice anything. I sensed that the whites I put in were somewhat blue but I thought it was just optical illusion. I think I stayed there almost an hour and a half in total.
When it was finally done, to my dismay, I found my whites in baby blue color. Luckily the color spread out evenly... Damn it. And my white bra became a blue one. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Luckily the GAP Tshirt was not ruined. It looked pretty okay. But the vinyle... it wasn't spotted anything, again, just evenly distributed baby blue shade. STILL. AAARGH.
I guess all this could have been prevented if I restrained myself from throwing in jeans there. But it was pretty dirty (as it was bought recently and had never been washed.) DAMN DAMN DAMN. But I should count myself luckily because there was no white Tshirt or a blouse.
But I learned my lesson now. NEVER PUT JEANS WITH WHITES.
I think I used wrong kind of soap too. It's not exactly soap but conditioner. But when I checked the items were pretty clean so I decided to let this one pass by. Besides, it was a borrowed one. When I go to the ASDA (wallmart kind of thing) I'll pick up some real laundry detergents... and maybe a bleach... lint papers....
I just hope to God I don't burn my clothes. I left them downstairs right now because it takes so much time. I put it into a weak cycle. There was one with 'no heat' sign but I wasn't sure so I just turned the knob to the weak heat one.
I don't know why I am sad over this stupid, minor mistake. There wasn't even long term damage. Is it because I partly ruined my clothes or because I have more classes ahead of me? Aaaagh.
