(no subject)
Libraries are funny. They are always so quiet. It is so weird the way so many people can be in one room and be completely silent. All you here is the humming of the computers, the scratching of pencils, the shuffling of book pages. Huh. Anyway, enough of that randomness. There is no easy way to tell someone to back off. It always comes off wrong, no matter what. Either you sound like you pity them (and then they despise you for thinking they need pity) or you just sound like a bitch. It is a lose-lose situation. But sometimes you feel like if you do not say something to them now, it is just going to get worse and the more you put it off, the more the situation snowballs. I do not know what to do about this situation because I have never had to deal with this before. It is just so different than what I am used to. It is so hard having to live around so many people all at once. It seems like there is no escape sometimes. But, I really do need to say something because otherwise I just get all mad and irritated; if I do not say something now while I am not hugely angry it would be better than just exploding in their faces and saying something I might regret. Yeah. So. How would I even begin? It is too touchy of a subject, I think. But whenever I think I might mention something casually to them, I always think, well, maybe I am wrong to say such things, and I do not say anything. But I do not think that I am wholly wrong to get irritated sometimes, but I do not want to lose a friend (well, or friends, I guess). I mean, yeah, sure, they keep me up till ALL hours of the nights, even when I have 8 am classes the next day, but still, I do not want to jeopardize a friendship. And yeah, sure, they are not always respectful of keeping quiet when I am trying to do homework, but still. And, okay, maybe sometimes they think whatever they are doing has priority over the rest of us. But, I guess I can deal. And, yeah, sometimes, he is a bit mean and she does not always stop him, but he does not really mean it to be cruel, he is just... playful and likes to find humor in things, I guess. I guess it is just hard when you have to schedule your life around someone else's. I know that rooming with people means a lot of compromising. It just seems like sometimes that some people have to comprimise more than others. This must sound so vague to anyone who reads this. I guess I do not have too many complaints though, because it all comes with the territory. When you live with someone, you do a lot of compromising to live peacefully. And I am sure people complain about me, too. I, mean, it is not like I am perfect. I wish I were, but that is another story. So, I guess, maybe I should just keep things as they are because I do not want to stir up trouble, especially with people I care about. Living with other people is about making wise descisions and fair compromises. I will just keep truckin'. There are a lot of good things about living with other people; it seems like it is easier to complain than to think of all the good.
