laundry anyone?

I guess there are a lot of things we really do take for granted. Things we never realize that are so important because well, they're always just there. It's funny how you may never think about something when in fact it affects your life in such a big way. I got to that conclusion after I started thinking about doing my laundry. I must admit, I have never tried to use a washing machine before. Okay, I know how to was clothes by hand (I think), but thing is, I do try to stay away from any machine-using things. Appliances hate me. Like everything I touch usually ends up broken. Ask my mom and she'll tell you stories like how I broke our TV and it couldn't get repaired or how I broke the microwave oven without knowing I was already breaking it. I do have a lot of stupid moments in life, but usually they occur when I'm handling something electronic. I don't know why. Anyways, there. I don't know how to do laundry here and I really miss the fact that back home, I didn't really have to worry so much about it. There was always someone to help me out. Here, well, there really isn't anyone to help you do these normal things. It's a good thing my roommate does know how to use a washing machine or else we'd both be stuck wearing dirty clothes for two months. Hahaha.
I guess we all have a tendency to be complacent with life, to imagine it not changing anytime soon. It's kinda easy to lose yourself during those times because well, it's never really something you need to think about. Like for most people, life moves around pretty slowly. And yeah, it could be that life sometimes becomes really draggy and it would feel as if nothing ever is happening. But when things do start changing, we complain that it is. I guess it's really a cycle....this whole waiting then complaining thing. I wonder if there's a way to get off it....
