The 1 Year Roommate Curse

In the middle of finals week right now, life sucks balls.  All nighters with my notes, no play time and no exercise time (and I’m supposed to wear a bikini in a couple of days?!? pshhh)  ANYWAYS, I hate having roommates mostly because I’m one of those people who really just needs to be on their own.  I’m pretty independent and I hate feeling like I need to check in with anyone or account for where I am/what I’m doing.  I’ve never had a roommate who anything inherently wrong with them or their personality but it’s the little things that crawl under my skin and stay there.

So the other day, I’m taking a much needed power nap from 4:30-5pm when KNOCK KNOCK at my bedroom door.  I can always tell which roommate (I have 2) is at my door by their knock.  Normally I respond after the first knock or hesitantly after the second knock if I’m in the middle of something and don’t wish to be disturbed but want to avoid rudeness.  But during crucial nap times/exam periods, I refuse to be disturbed.  I will lay as still as possible and hope you go away.  Now my roommate that I have nicknamed “The Gobbler” (explanation to come later), likes to knock LOUDER for the second knock as if I couldn’t possible have heard her first pound.  I’m an extremely light sleeper and she knows this, so she must know that I’m awake and ignoring her.  When she doesn’t get a response she then proceeds to open my door!  Ummm……wth, who do you think you are invading my space????  I quickly snapped my eyes shut and played possum while she assessed me and then then finally left.  GET THE HECK OUT OF TOWN WITH THAT BS!!!!  Did I also mention her uncanny ability to knock during the last few minutes of my study nap.  She knocked at 4:58…robbing me of those last 2 precious minutes of sleep.  It’s like she thinks “Hmmm, her TV is quiet and I haven’t heard her clacking away at her laptop for the last 27 minutes, THIS is the perfect time to knock!”

Her rationale:  Well I hadn’t seen you for awhile and was worried since you hadn’t left your room.  I just wanted to check in and make sure you were ok.   *sigh*  seriously?  No, really???   You woke up at noon and you were worried after not seeing me for 5 hours?  Now, if it wasn’t typical of me to only leave my room for class, food and the bathroom (especially so during testing times) I would completely understand her concern.  But c’mon now, IT’S FINALS!  Grrr, if only I had time to over this past year to rant about everything this chick has done, but school life takes up all my time.  Maybe this summer I’ll have more time to reflect and rant about her and my other roommate.  Luckily, I found a place closer to the city!  Downside, another roommate (only way I could afford the place) who is best described as a blonde “spinner” who has a lot of nighttime visitors.  The curse continues….

I tried sooo hard to stop hating on people but WOW have people been making it hard.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?), there are about 2 more weeks of Lent and since I made a promise to God to censor myself, I will continue to hold my tongue and my pen.  *sigh* lame I know.  Guess I haven’t really learned a “lesson” this Lenten season…..
