As some of you remember, there was an issue in my apartment with one girl not taking off her shoes and making a mess. Well fast forward to now and I bought some slippers and let it go. Now the room mate that I share the same room with is driving me up a wall.
I don't mean to be whiney...I really don't, but I'm so angry right now and needed to vent somewhere.
Everyone in my apartment has early morning classes. I have later classes so I go to bed late and sleep in a bit before getting ready for class. My room mate was leaving the door open in the morning (which she's done for awhile I believe and it was never an issue) but this semester the problem is everyone talks in the hallway and with the door open it is very loud and wakes me up. I asked her last week if she could just keep the door closed in the morning because it was waking me up. I went away for the whole weekend and yesterday morning was the first morning back since going away. She had the door open and even though no one was in the apartment, she kept sharpening pencils and it was very loud. So once again, I asked her nicely to shut the door. She got upset and said "There's no one even here" and I said that a combination of water running and pencil sharpening was waking me up. It shouldn't have been a big deal.
This morning she keeps the door shut, but turns on the overhead light. Surprise, surprise, it wakes me up. I KNOW she is doing this because she's upset I asked her to close the door. So I ask her if she can shut off the light (All the time politely) and she says "no". So I ask what the heck the issue is this time (now I'm angry) and she says she can't see in the room without the door open so she has to turn on the light. Now she's just being difficult and I'm at a loss. It's not fair to me to lose sleep because she can't be considerate. But instead of acting like a normal person she has to retaliate. Am I missing something here? Why does this have to be so difficult? If she asks me to turn down my music I do it. I always make sure to put on headphones and turn off the TV when she goes to bed and I am always as quiet as possible. I don't get upset, I just do it because it's the polite thing to do when you are living with someone else.
So now I'm sitting here feeling both hurt and like I want to punch something very hard. I only have two months left with her, but this is something that I can't just turn a blind eye to because it's affecting my sleep. Once I'm up, it's very difficult for me to go back to sleep.
Ok, I think that will do it for now! Phew, I feel so much better after letting out my frustrations. Thanks for listening to me ya'll.
