i have finally met my match

my roommate enjoys listening to her music.
and she loves listening to her music loud...loud enough that those in hale 6 can hear it.
she also loves skyping her boyfriend to hours as ridiculous as 5 in the morning...
and having sleepovers with her friends in our dorm room.

i frequently leave the room in exasperation.
what to do, what to do?

it was no accident i decided to take intercultural communications.
oh, how things work out.

after mulling it over in my head i have finally come to the conclusion that i need to come down from my high-and-mighty cloud and look at things from a completely different perspective.  what a difficult thing for me to do.  up until moving here, i have never shared a room with anyone and living with faith was a piece of cake.  in my communications class we learned that one pair of glasses is not going to fix everyone's sight problems. my roommate and i are seeing things from very different prescriptions.  to my roommate i probably come off as a high maintenance, spoiled white girl who worries to much about the particulars.  as cliche as this sounds, i think it is time for me to recognize our similarities instead of focusing on everyone of our differences.  again, what a hard thing for me to do.
