Huge, massive amounts of hate.

Seriously.  This shit has got to stop.  My roommate and I are not getting along.  Ok, so she likes to stay up late doing stuff, but if I stay up late doing stuff, she gets annoyed, because she's a light sleeper.  She has like, no morning classes, and I do, and my bedshaker wakes her up even though the actual alarm volume is off.  And she gets

It's not that she's awful. She's honestly a nice person, but if I want to be able to stay sane, I have to get up at a fairly regular time, excluding Sunday, which is basically my sleep-the-morning-away day (Thank you, marching band all day on Saturdays in the fall). So I have 3 days where I get up at 7:20, and I'm out the door between 8:20 and 8:30, but I have two days where I'm up at 8:20, and my first class is at 12. Admittedly all the way across campus (which is pretty small, TBH) so I have to leave at 11 to be to the music building to grab my horn by 11:30 and be up at the stadium in time to get all my shit together. But I'm up at 8:20, or shortly thereafter, and puttering around the room until I figure I need to go get lunch/head across campus. But she likes to go to bed late, which is fine, I can sleep through just about anything, and fall asleep just about anywhere. Hence my alarm being a bedshaker and across the room from me. I actually have to get up to make it stop, and then I stagger out (sometimes without my glasses

Dark, yes. Silence, no. I need white noise to mask everything else, because any time I hear something or think I hear something, I wake up. But thankfully my bedroom has no windows, so if I close the door it gets dark as a tomb in there. I just have to remember go to bed early enough that I'll be in deep-sleep when my next-door neighbors are mowing the yard, because my little freestanding garage-turned-apartment is right on the property line and whenever they trim the sides of my building, there's only about a red brick wall, some 70's-era wood paneling, some insulation, and about a foot, maybe two feet of distance between the mower blades and my head.

This is one of those things that makes me so glad I live alone.

I don't need dark or silence. Hell, up until last year I slept with a glitter lamp on in my room. It would scatter purple underwater light patterns all over my bedroom. Very soothing for me.

I wouldn't mind having my own room, and I don't really want to live alone, but when the other person just complains, and doesn't doesn't try to find a solution for themselves it really irks me. I miss my roomie from last semester, because we got along like awesome. And she didn't care about me being up late/"early" and on the computer. And we had our beds bunked, and my bedshaker didn't wake her up!
