cleaning the bathroom: part I of V
Wednesday, August 20

one of the disadvantages of having your own bathroom in a 3 room suite as opposed to the dorm-style co-ed 1 huge bathroom per floor i had last year is that you have to clean it yourself instead of having the small squat hispanic lady come and swab at everything (toilet, floor, urinals, shower, sink, walls) with the same weird pink detergent and mop halfheartedly.

over the past 2 months, lots of hair (straight and curly fries) and a sticky film have accumulated on the floor (especially behind the dreaded forbidden territory behind the toilet), a weird smelly mold has covered the shower curtain, and the toilet... well, we know what guys' toilets look like.

so out of the generosity of my heart (fellow suitemates told me that it was my turn), i decided to clean the bathroom.

1 hr later, after lots of clorox, wipe-it, lots of paper towels, and a sore arm, i am happy to announce that the bathroom is CLEAN.

everything is spotless, and smells of detergent. the no-man's land behind the toilet is clean, as well. no secret shoving-of-nastiness behind-the-toilet-and-hope-that-no-one-notices for ME! i even scrubbed the mold off the curtain.

it is clean enough to take a bath in. which is utterly pointless, since we are all guys, and guys take 3-5 min showers, not prolonged luxurious baths.

you can probably tell that i don't clean the bathroom enough that i have to make a big deal out of cleaning it this one time.

still, i put more effort into it than i usually would have done. what having a girl will do to you...
