Laundry in NYC

Living in a third floor walk-up without laundry is not pleasant. I've done it myself at the local laundromat but this week I've decided that laundry is just not worth doing!

So I decided to get up laundry done for me. In NYC you pay by the pound to get your laundry washed and folded for you. In my neighbourhood it's 60 cents a pound. Each load works out to be around 10 pounds each so 6 dollars/load.

A tad expensive but I think it's worth it considering how much time and effort it takes to do laundry. Alright...I'm just trying to justify my laziness...

Happy Halloween!

Xiomara who I met from the summer program decided to resign and move to Arizona! So for her goodbye dinner we went to Samba Sushi which is South American / Japanese fusion food! Had lots of good food and we order two cocktail trees...to make for a very expensive but yummy dinner!

Homecoming Weekend: No...I'm no in Kingston right now (I wish I was drunk in a ditch somewhere) but looks like it was not meant to be...it's the end of marking period therefore, I need to 'invent' some grades up. (just joking).

That's all for now!
