Just an update

Hi all. I haven't posted in awhile, so I figured I should just give an update of how me and my roomie have been getting along. Well..up until yesterday, we were doing just fine! The thing that ruined it was my phone conversation that she somehow had a hissy fit about!

Well here is how it went: I was on the phone with my boyfriend and we weren't having a very peaceful or nice conversation. It was more like a very heated and mean one! So, my roomie wasn't doing anything but watching television. If she was doing something important (homework, studying, or even talking on her phone) I would've been more than happy to leave out, but she wasn't so I stayed in the room.

She said something to me WHILE I was still on the phone in the MIDDLE of our HEATED ARGUMENT. That only made matters much worse than they already were. I had to leave out of the room to finish the argument with my boyfriend before coming back into the room to finish my argument with her. Now I'm not saying that I was completely right, because, yes, I probably should've left the room and took my argument to another place. However, I felt like she was too mad about nothing because it wasn't like I was interrupting anything she was doing. She just didn't want to hear our argument and that wasn't a good enough excuse for me...especially not after I was already pretty mad! So we argued for about 15 minutes before the both of us dropped it, but I remained mad the rest of the night.

I just thought I'd share that with everyone since we seem to be back and forth between getting along! (But it's the end of the year now..so who cares anyway??)

Alone time

Although me and my roomie figured a few of our issues out, and have been getting along for the past week, some issues came out of the past couple days (as I told you about in my past few blog posts.) Thanks to those issues, I am happy to say that I have some alone time today.

I have been up since 7:00 this morning and have been extremely busy all day, including a Science test that had my brain going in circles! When I came into my room around 5:30, she was in here laying down, then she left shortly after, because of her night class. I am glad she left though, because now it is MY turn to lay down and have some time alone.

It's kind of awkward, because although I was so used to having things my way at home because of the fact that I'm an only child, you'd think that after almost two years having a roomate I'd be well adjusted by now. However, it just isn't that simple for me! It really is a huge transition and I'm still learning!

P.S.- Thanks for reading about my complaints of having a roomate in such a small room ;)

Too Noisy

When my roomie came into the room this morning, I was still asleep. I don't know whether she thought differently or she just didn't care, because she was way too noisy. It seemed as if she had millions of huge bags that she was just slamming around everywhere. I never actually looked at what she was doing because I was still a bit out of it. She didn't stay in there though. She made her share of noise and then left. I thought to myself..if I had my OWN room, I surely wouldn't have to deal with people coming in and ruining my sleep!!

**I just thought I would share that brief encounter**

**Feel free to comment**

Not so clean!

I went home Thursday night and returned Saturday afternoon. My roomie wasn't there, so I figured she also went home for the weekend. However, she did leave me with a surprise that I wasn't very happy with!

When I walked into the room, I went to sit my bags down because my hands were full. Then, I went to use the bathroom. There my surprise smacked me in the face...A DIRTY BATHROOM! I am not your average "Mrs Clean," especially not in a small dorm room at college, but I do keep things in decent shape. When it comes to bathrooms however, I am definitely not a fan of a dirty one. Obviously, this day, she was!

In case you are wondering why I was so mad, I'll be glad to give you a brief description of how my bathroom looked! It was almost as if she had a party in there and somehow FORGOT to clean up the mess! For starters, the toilet wasn't flushed, which is one of the most immature things in my opinion. I have heard of BOYS doing that at times, but never GROWN WOMEN! There was pieces of toilet paper all over the floor and the sink was covered with her belongings, including a McDonald's burger wrapper. I wondered "Was she eating in the bathroom?" There was also some type of red juice in the sink as if she had poured it down the drain.

I was not a happy person at all and I made sure I let her know that, because it was really unacceptable for her to leave the bathroom the way she did. The next time she should try using one of the many cleaning supplies she has before leaving it looking that way!

What a Conversation

My roomie and I had lunch again today and actually had an engaging conversation. It was nothing like the first one we had over lunch. This one was much more personal. I still think it's weird that we are just now beginning to get along at the end of the second semester. Not only that, but she is a senior so I probably won't even see her anymore once school is over, unless of course we exchange information to keep in touch.
More about the conversation, I found out things I never knew about her, including some family and childhood issues. Although she opened up to me, I wasn't as comfortable opening up to her because I'm very reluctant to telling people about my personal life, unless I know them very well. We also talked about girly issues, including some of our past and present relationships.
Overall, I was glad that we overcame the obstacles we did in order to even be able to sit down and talk to each other for as long as 45 minutes. I just wish we would've put our issues to the side sooner. I also wish that I would've been over my selfish ways in wanting my own space because I've been used to it so long. However, I don't think that is something that is easy to get rid of because I am an only child and I am so adapt to having things my way.

**Questions about the conversation would be great**

On that same note...

Although the talk was good and all, and our "roomie relationship" is coming along...there was one small issue I had earlier today. Shortly after she was settled in, I put a movie in. It's her dvd player, but she never uses it. I use it more than her.

Anyway, I was watching the movie when her phone rang. The volume was in medium range and I know that she gets loud while on the phone. It's weird because she isn't loud any other time except when she's on the phone. However, she got on the phone and all of a sudden, I couldn't hear ONE WORD of the movie. Therefore, I turned the volume up. The good thing was she didn't say anything to me about my loud television volume and I didn't say anything to her about her LOUD MOUTH volume!!

So I can sum this up by saying...an argument was PREVENTED!

Peace is being still...

Around 8:30, my roomie came in the room after I had already been here for awhile. I was just relaxing and watching t.v. She instantly sparked a conversation with me. I'm thinking that us having lunch for the first time together was the start of something...but the sad part is there's only a few weeks left of school!

Anyway, we began talking and she was telling me how she enjoyed lunch and that we should have been eating together all year. She said that we should do it more and I was fine with that, but thought in my head "School's just about over!" However, it was a good idea and I respected it, so I told her whenever we are both free we could do it again.

I am relieved that I am finally not feeling as though I am sharing a room with my worst enemy. Although having my own space will always be an issue, at least we are starting to get along.

Lunch with the roomie

So, I mentioned that my roomie asked me a strange question. That question was if I wanted to eat lunch with her. My answer was yes. So I think I should give a brief description of what that awkward lunch date was like....

Actually it wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be! That's the weird part of it! We actually had a somewhat decent and meaningful conversation. I thought that we would be staring at each other for a half hour before saying one or two words, but it was the total opposite. Although we didn't quite talk about our issues within the room, we discussed other things that girls talk about. 

I found out alot more about her than I knew before the lunch date and vice versa. I was glad that we got to sit down and talk, because it was a change in attitudes for the both of us. Peace was made...at least for now! Hopefully peace will be still....

A strange question..

As you've all been reading my blog, by now I'm sure you understand that me and my roommate don't get along very well. However, something very shocking happened last night around 8 pm. A strange question...

Out of the blue she asked how my class schedule worked on Tuesday. I told her my schedule and she asked if I had anything to do in between classes. I responded, "No." Then I asked why because the question was very

 random. She then responded, "I think we should eat lunch together if you don't mind." 

My face probably was the weirdest expression she had EVER seen! I was expecting her to say ANYTHING but that! Ever since school began, we haven't eaten one meal together, let alone done anything together. Well, we barely got along the entire school year so maybe that is why!

Anyway, I told her yes and we set up a time. So I am patiently awa

iting our "lunch date" and silently wishing an argument won't break out!

After the argument

After the argument, my roommate and I didn't say two words to each other the following day before Spring Break. I left for my break a bit upset and I'm sure she did also. However, I wasn't going to let a ridiculous dispute like that get my mood down for my entire break, so by the time I was on my way home, I got over it. 

I proceeded to enjoy my break because I was in much need of one!

I managed to have a safe and restful break. When I returned, she wasn't back yet and didn't return until that Tuesday. I thought to myself, "Good! I still have some time alone before she returns."

Anyway, when she finally got back, she was in a much better mood. When she came in, she said hello and immediately asked how I was doing and how my break went. I responded and asked her the same. It was almost like she was a changed person within a week and a half! I guess she needed a break as much as I did!

In desperate need of a spring break!

I'd like to start off by saying before Spring bring began, I was in desperate need of just that! The reason is because two days before, me and my roomate got into a somewhat heated argument over something silly. Basically, I was hot and she was cold.

Here is how it happened: I had just returned from working out, which clearly meant that I was sweating and needed a shower. However, before I took a shower, I opened the window and sat down for a second to take a breather. Obviously, opening the window on a decent day was the wrong thing to do!

For awhile she didn't say anything, so I proceeded to get into the shower. When I got out was when the argument began. The window was shut and although I had taken a shower, my body still felt a bit heated. I went back over and cracked the window (less than it was before). She then said to me, "Why do you continue opening the window? It's freezing." I told her I just wanted it open for a few minutes until I cooled down from my workout.

The argument went on for awhile until I finally slammed the windown down and walked out the room. I didn't return to my room for a few hours because I was so upset. I thought to myself, Spring Break better hurry up!

Time Away!

I finally had some time away from my small corner of a room. I came home after my last class Thursday and haven't been back yet. Hopefully when I return, there will be a little more happiness in my mood! (NOT)

I really don't mean to be the "complaining" type, but everybody has their preferences and there is something about almost everything that can be changed. I admit that sometimes my attitude is the biggest issue, but I never actually let her see my attitude, so I don't think that counts! (haha)

She's really not a bad person to get along with, especially due to the fact that she barely talks. However, there are just small things that she does to irritate me in her own little way. I can't say that I know in my heart that she does those things on purpose because I really don't believe that. However, like I said before, some things if not most can change.

Lights on or off...

As I said before, me & my roomate's times for waking up conflict. I had my 8:00 am class today, so when I woke up & turned on the lights on she started moving around as if she just couldn't sleep anymore. I have no idea why, because she should be pretty much used to it by now. I don't know about anyone else, but I NEED the lights to get dressed at 7:00 in the morning! What was the problem today????

Back to unsatisfaction

So I spent a really long and tiresome weekend at home dealing with a family issue. I left Thursday and just returned today (Monday). Still not able to be completely happy because of the family issue, I was expecting to return to school and get myself together. However, it was impossible to do that because of the fact that as soon as I got in front of my door, I could hear my roomate's LOUD phone conversation. I understand this is America and we are free to talk as loudly as we want, but I WAS NOT IN THE MOOD! I came in, dropped my bags, turned around and walked right back out. I was a bit upset that I had to go to the student lounge to relax my mind instead of in the privacy of my own room.

Issue #1

Hello to all:

As I told you, more details would be coming soon....here's issue # 1 for my blog.

Me and my roomate's classes generally clash (meaning we hardly have classes at the same times). Therefore, I am used to waking up and either she's already gone or she's still in bed. It should've been that way this morning, BUT it wasn't!! I woke up a few minutes later than I usually do on Thursdays and expected to jump in the shower. Well, to my surprise....I couldn't! She was in the shower and not only was she in there at "MY TIME," but she also took FOREVER!! It took everything out of me not to knock on the door and ask her if she could SPEEEEED the process up! So this is one of the MANY issues that made my day start off on a bad foot!

**Please respond and let me know if I was mad for no reason or if I had the right to feel the way I did

Talk about a limited amount of space!!!!

I am a sophomore and have been suffering through dorm life ever since my freshman year! It may not SEEM like a long time, but when you're looking at the idea of going from having to only deal with my mom in my space to a complete stranger.....IT'S A LONG TIME!! Commuting would be too difficult at this point, therefore I have to deal with it for now...but it drives me CRAZY. This is just for starters....there are more details to come. If anyone feels this way also, please post your comments.

For starters

Welcome to my blog everyone! I hope that you have come not only to laugh sometimes, but also enjoy my own personal writing style, being that I am a sophomore journalism student.

Thanks
