Laundry Land

I don't know about all of you, but I HATE when others touch my laundry. Where did all of those socks go? Is that my shirt she just walked out in? No! I've been doing my own laundry since I was about 9 or 10. I'm always astonished by people sometimes older than me who do not know how to use the strange white washing machines in that spare room. 

These are my solutions to making sure your laundry stays your laundry! 

1. Pick a day!

I always do my laundry on Sundays. But schedules will change with school and work down in LA. So maybe after a solid week of work, sit down and pick a day with your roommates. You won't always get this day off or have the energy to do it, so be make sure to be nice when you ask your fellow roommate if you can use the washer after them. Be patient. You missed your day, that isn't their fault and shouldn't have to feel rushed!

2. Pick a basket!

Now whether you label your basket with a name like this:

Or pick a cute color like this: 

You will need to have a designated basket or bag to call your own. I'd probably do a combination of the two, just to make it cute. ^.^ 

3. Pick a system! (ie Pick a soap)

Not everyone uses the same detergent, bleach, etc. So if you don't want to pool your money for laundry goods, then you will need to also label and store your own. Some of the laundry rooms are quite large and have plenty of room for a make shift folding table, and ironing board, and even all of the baskets. 

But some others are practically pantries. So make sure to save room in your closet for your basket/soap if yours happens to be a bit smaller. 

It's going to take a bit of getting use to. Especially if you're not accustomed to doing your own laundry! But once you get into the swing of things, keeping your clothes both clean and Yours, will be very easy :)

HAVE A MAGICAL DAY! 

The College Part of the Program

Cheap desks you can set up at home. 

Alright, so here is the dream killer. School! Now I don't think a desk would be completely necessary for the classes that Disney offers. I think one could get by just fine with something like this: 

However, I'm now a student at Cerritos Junior College. Some other Disney Interns may also be going to Fullerton or Universities near by. I don't think I could make it one day with something like this. I need a desk! 

Here's my hope: 

I'm hoping that I can convince my roommates to either let me take up a section of the room up for a small desk with either a bookshelf connected to it or something small I can put next to or in my portion of the closet. Otherwise I'd want to put it in the living room. I'm afraid that there could be times when there would be a lot of noise or people over while I'm trying to do work though. There's a lot to consider here. Do I want to travel to a library to do my homework? Do I want to share a communal desk with everyone in the apartment so that we can get something with enough space for everyone and then move my supplies every time I sit down? 

I haven't come to a decision yet. I kinda like the "inside the room" one. I have seen some apartments with awfully big laundry rooms. Maybe I can stick it in there. We'll see. 

Just something to consider :)
