This has been an interesting week to say the least. I always get like this, really peeved the week before and the week during. And pretty much every time, the roommate gets the brunt. Well, this time, it's pretty much gotten to how it was a couple of years ago when we lived in the same dorm before. Right now, we aren't really talking. As I type this, she's half-sitting on her bed, messing with her new phone. You see, she got money from her dad recently, and has somewhat gone on a spending spree- groceries, fast food constantly, clothes and now replacing her phone. But that is not why I'm not talking to her.
Why I am not talking to her is pretty simple. I enjoy my sleep. I may be a slight insomniac, but I enjoy my sleep, and do not appreciate getting woken up before my alarm. I don't think anyone does. Well, for the past week, excluding Monday morning since she didn't sleep at the dorm Sunday night, I've been woken up by my alarm EVERY MORNING. She has done this in the past, and I've talked to her, and she's claimed to "try and be quieter." Ya, it doesn't happen. She exchanges one slamming for another- she'll not slam her dresser drawers, but she'll constantly be opening and closing her zippered bags, and dropping crinkly plastic bags, making a lot of noise in general, and then when she leaves the room and house,she'll either not close the door all the way or she'll slam it really hard.
The past few days, she's been sleeping over at her new boyfriend's dorm. You'd think she wouldn't wake me then, right? WRONG. She'll come in after staying over there, make lots of noise getting her stuff ready for work, and then leaving for work. Yesterday, she called after leaving, claiming to have seen campus security and the Resident Coordinator heading towards our dorm, signaling that there would be a fire alarm drill (which we've been waiting for). Since I had one of the other girls we live with's cell number, I warned her of the possible fire alarm. Jenn (the other housemate) met me in the livingroom, where we waited for it to go off. It never did. We waited 30 minutes before saying "F%$# it" and going to breakfast in our p.j.'s . Emma did apologize, but not for waking me, up, but for the false fire alarm warning. This morning, she came in loud again, at 6:40AM, which woke me up. So I finally get to sleep after that, and the fire alarm went off. It jolted me, so I pulled something in my neck. After we all came back in after the alarm was turned off, I decided the only way I was going to stay up and be able to work on a paper due today would be if I just got ready. She left for work by the time I was coming out of the bathroom after my shower, which when I was in there, I accidentally dropped my cell phone in the trashcan, so I had to chlorox wipe it after. I thought I would get the room to myself for atleast tonight since as far as I know she has plans with her boyfriend, but no such luck thus far. She's now moved to her desk and is doing some sort of paperwork.
Some of you may ask, why not trying to explaining to her again that she's being loud in the morning, and you don't appreciate it? I have, on more than one occasion. She packed her bags fro class and work the night before to cut out the noise she makes, and she still was making a racket keeping me from being able to sleep through it. Also, with me having such a short fuse right now, it would not be in anyone's best interest for me to confront her, atleast not until I can guarantee that I will not start a screaming match. If she wakes me tomorrow morning, when I have no class, thus I can sleep in as late as I want, I may not be able to hold back from unloading on her.
Who knows what will happen. The only thing I can say is the good thing that's happened during all of this is that the school finally got the fire alarm drill done, so now we can get through until the end of the semester drill which will more than likely happen during the last two weeks of the semester.
School is going okay. Hoping to get good grades this semester. I didn't do that bad last semester, but I didn't do that great either, so I'm hoping for an improvement. I'm enjoying being a part of this club at school called Scribes, it's a creative writing club, which is really fun.
Has anyone read the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris series (which the HBO show True Blood is based off of)? It's really good, defijnitely better than some of the other vamp fiction I've read in recent years. I can't wait for Anne Bishop's new book to come out in March. Neither can my sister Jenni.
Speaking of Jenni, my niece is turning ONE on Saint Patty's day, which is a month away! This year has flown by. Liam is pretty close to crawling. He's got the backward crawling down, and he has on occasion crawled forward while Jenni's watching him, but he isn't confident at it yet. Maddie is almost walking. She's jabbering, sometimes talking in full sentences randomly, but mostly jabbering with the occasional "Apple." It's too cute!
Well, I am going to slip into the abyss otherwise known as Facebook. What can I say, it's addicting!
