Just Trying To Do Some Laundry

So yesterday I was walking into my building yesterday and I noticed a note saying,

"Attention All PV East Residents: The hot water in the building will be shut off tomorrow from 4:00 am to 5:00 pm to fix a steam leak."

OK, sucks, but it is not the end of the world. I even went and swam after class this morning so I could shower at the gym and not feel gross all day. So I get back and am hanging with Charlie and Sineadh and I get a text from Austin:

"We don't have hot water until next week."

What? That is unbelievable. We go on Charlie's computer and there is an e-mail that reads(Sparknotes version):

"There have been some troubles with the repair of the steam leak and the hot water is not going to be able to be turned back on until further notice."

Until further notice? That is unacceptable! We have a few hundred people living in this building with no hot water! That means no showers, no water to wash your face, or even able to do laundry. They thought it would make up for it if they put two portable showers outside the building, kind of like a port-o-potty version of showers.

Austin, Charlie, Sineadh, and I were bored tonight so we decided to gather all our dirty clothes and drive around and find a laundromat. We went to four different laundromats and they were all closed! In a college town, how can there not be one decent 24 hour laundromat?

This day started out so productive, and ended completely ridiculous.
