Laundry

After the last o-chem final, after the MCAT, after the essays, the follow up essays, and the interviews, there is one last hurdle for students at the Technion: the laundry system.

They seem to have put some of the better minds on campus behind this endeavor. Better minds than mine. It's actually a pretty clever system - if you happen to be a savant with a lot of time on your hands. There is a website that you can go to and view all of the facilities on campus, their usage, and cycle times left. On this website you can reserve a machine, choose soap options, and pay. This site is entirely in hebrew.

You also have the option of bumbling on over there, laundry in tow, and pray that a kind aerospace engineer will take pity on you as you mash your dummard fingers against the on-site computer keyboard (the keyboard is just a decoy - use the touchscreen) and just program your laundry for you.

I am pretty sure that since we three med-students, pooling all of out brain cells together, could not manage to make underpants clean, we're getting kicked out of school tomorrow.
