Work and Moving and Laundry.

Now that I'm getting back into the groove of working, things are definitely quite busy. I'm try to get a bunch of work in before the start of my intensive German course, during which I will not be able to work in lab, I think. I also found out this week that I move in to my new place next Tuesday! This means a trip to IKEA is in the cards for tonight, so that I can buy my sheets and get them washed before I move. Laundry is a little tricky- there is one washer and tumbler (dryer) for the whole building, which has 10 flats with who knows how many people in each. In theory, each flat gets a part of a day, but apparently the schedule is no longer working, so one has to stalk the washer and pounce when it is free. Did I mention that the washer and dryer are in the cellar, which means there are 6 flights of stairs between my flat and the laundry room? Yep. When I was here in the fall, my coworkers from Minnesota told me that they had never spent so much time thinking about laundry before, and now I'm starting to understand.
