Wow! It's already March? My oh my, is 2010 going by quickly!

Well, it's been an interesting school year, to say the least. Between major roommate problems (you can find one such incident that still angers me here) and tough classes, I'm so ready for the summer! After tomorrow, it is Spring Break and I will get to go visit family in Canada. I'm very excited for this, as I haven't been up in years and I'm going by myself instead of with my mom, sister and brother like usual. 

I've tried my hardest not to inundate this blog with my roommate problems, but it's been difficult lately. Having a roommate from China has been a wild ride, but in the end we have been amicable and courteous to each other. I have tried to be more patient in 2010 and I think it has paid off somewhat. She gained more respect from me when she apologized for breaking a cup of mine and bought me another one (an unnecessary but thoughtful action). In the end, I appreciate how she has dealt with my relatively moody behavior. I know I'm no angel to deal with, so for all the complaining I do about her, I still hold in her in high regard. 

Issues with the American roommate, on the other hand, have evolved into a massive standoff between me and her. Not only have her ignorant stances on political issues caused tension between us, but she has no respect for anyone or anything. 

I actually usually love political discussions, but when an ignorant physical therapy student says something like, "I think the generals [of the U.S. military] should be in charge of the war and the president should have no say," to me, a political science student, I'm going to point out the inadequacies of your argument (like, let's see, that it's part of presidential powers regardless if it's Obama or someone else!). Usually these discussions end in her leaving to make a phone call to family back home about how mean I am. But I digress. 

She has been very selfish and self-centered the whole time we have lived here. Her boyfriend used to be here daily and was a general nuisance, and they got in constant fights. But she got a promise ring from him a few months ago and they have been around here a little less (except that time I thought I heard them have sex through the wall...gag!).

I saw on her Facebook she was talking with friends about housing issues, and while I couldn't see if it was about this year or next, if it's the latter and she can't find a roommate, it's no wonder! She's been rotten to live with and as much as I don't like thinking about karma, I hope her actions today affect events that happen to her later on in life.

I've been really fortunate to keep busy enough that I don't encounter either roommate very often, and thankfully when May 1 is here I am packing up all my things (all of them!) and leaving this apartment for good.

That's really it about them. I mostly wanted to clear the air on all of that and look towards being more positive. About 62 days left until summer! I pray they come here quickly!

Things with Steve are good. I still am struggling to buy the airline ticket to see him. I'm hoping I can afford it soon, but I'm running out of time. No matter the price, though, I will see him over Easter break. Less than a month to go!

Ta ta for now!
