New semester, new classes, same old stress

So this is the fourth week of my last semester at SSU. I have different classes from last semester, but same old stress. I was joking with an old acquaintance today that I have enough stress that would cause someone a heart attack. Being an English Major is draining. And though there is light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, there is another tunnel, that of life and loan repayment.  Leaving one stressful realm for another.

My roommate is starting to get on my nerves again. I can't really explain it. It's these little nuances of hers that just get under my skin. For instance, when she has her headphones on her computer, i can still hear every word and chord from the music that's blaring from it. Plus she'll be on the phone while I'm trying to study or watch tv, resulting in a volume uppage on both our parts. Talking doesn't seem to help, because I asked her to keep it down in the morning since she gets up earlier than me, but she's constantly slamming things and opening & shutting her zippered bags. Like right now, she's watching Top Gun on her computer, and I can hear the intro perfectly. Talking to her makes no difference.

The acquaintance I was talking about earlier, called me outta the blue. I hadn't talked to Joe in about a year. I may have mentioned him before. He was a friend from high school, that I've talked to every once in a while. I stopped talking to him because he sent some inappropriate text messages to me. He's no longer in the Navy, moved back home. I think he might be interested in me (again), but he's so unmotivated. Plus I remember how he was in high school, and I don't really want to get involved with him. He drove me crazy (and not in a good way) at NHS.

Well, I now am off to battle the annoyance of my roommate on her phone (AGAIN) telling someone to go to bed and trying to do homework.
