This may sound lame, but since arriving to Rowan two years okay, I have had a fear of doing my laundry in the student center. There is something about being enclosed in a small area with other students who I do not know. Meeting new people overwhelms me on its own, but through a bare enclosed area, and my anxiety gets the best of me. Even when room mates lugged their never ending loads of laundry to the "dungeon", I always refused to go. Instead, I would travel the hour home on the weekends and do my laundry in the comfort of my own home, as Native Place of mine.
When I received this assignment, I had a tough time deciding where to go that would be strange, but facing my fears would be like killing two birds with a stone. After class the other day, I decided to take a seat at a table in the laundry room, and become overwhelmed instantly. As i sat, smelling the aroma of laundry detergent, I felt sick, but as time when on, I felt comfort with my surroundings.
I guess you could say that I related to the feelings of the characters of the Dubliners by James Joyce because of the anxiety and excitement they felt before setting out on their adventure. They were afraid of being caught before leaving, just as I was worried about sitting in a place that I was unfamiliar with. As soon as they set out on their adventure though, they immediately felt a sense of relief, which I felt as soon as others joined the laundry room, and also as I left to head back to my dorm
