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**

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!
