On my way into my school's central offices to do some lesson planning today, I had the good fortune to run into my DOS. After a bit of chit chat about how classes are going (short answer: fine), he asked me to have lunch with him.
He asked me if I were having any problems adjusting to Moscow. I let him know the hot water in my apartment is out and asked if I had permission to leave a notice on the bulletin board offering to pay for use of another teacher's washing machine.
Well, miracle of miracles! He told me I could come over to his apartment and use his--for free! Thank goodness. My clothes and I can finally rejoin the 21st century.
Apparently, very few of the apartments my school makes available to its teachers don't have a washing machine at this point. Teachers generally do help each other out in this regard. Once my schedule settles, I can find some regular time to come by and do my washing, which will make life in Moscow much, much easier.
