"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Laundry Woes

~A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.

Alright. Laundry shouldn't be that hard. You throw everything in the machine and it washes it. You go back a while later and throw it in the other machine and it dries it... Okay, folding takes forever-but that's expected.

So I go to the laundry room today and start shoving dollar bills into the slot to get quarters. 75% of the time it spit them back out at me. One time I got 3 quarters and two dollars later I got 5-so it all evened out. But it took forever! Haha, I felt kind of stupid sitting there for five minutes shoving dollars into the machine and going through the stack again and again while some other girl was doing her laundry and it was quiet.

I finally got a few quarters and claimed two machines and started loading them. The first machine started no problem. The second though... I put in the money and pushed in the slot thing and nothing happened. It ate my coins. I can always count on laundry costing two or three dollars more than it should. I was kind of freaking out inside. All my clothes were sitting in the machine with the soap and I just wasted my money. Haha, so, logically, I tried the same machine again! It worked.

I got all my dryers. I had to redo one load and, of course, every load had it's random wet spots. I spent an hour and a half folding and hanging everything and putting it away. And now... now I feel like relaxing and I have got to work on homework... and go shopping. Hmm...
