laundry and rowing

Hello

I am heading to Olympics tomorrow......and I am soooo pumped.

Last night I did 8 loads of laundry....in my college facility that consists of 3 machines and 2 big dryers...I became a timing machine! Others that wanted to use the machine were not my fans. They college got new high-tech machine with too many options. I was excited to wash my towels and sheets on Cotton Hygiene 95C and my jeans on Denim settings. The old machine washing took 40min….now they are an hour and boy are your clothes clean!

I like to have a rule that before I leave for a trip I wash all bedding and towels etc. Nice to come home to clean stuff!

Tonight I subbed into a men's town team boat. Town teams get to row at night. It is eerily calm, very dark and at times spooky! You row along and then you see a huge swan that you are about to hit with your oar. It will be quiet and then suddenly another team rows by. It is funny to be in these boats and have to put head lights on them. I would love to be in a crew that wears those glow necklaces that you get at a carnival….that would look so cool and alien like. Maybe I can get some Glow in the dark face paint!

I loved looking up and seeing a sky full of stars and constellations. It was so cute because anytime the coxswain said "guys or gentlemen"....she quickly added and "girl and lady"....they are not used to having a girl in the boat. I’m just a girl in the world!
