The Roommate

Well, it's official, I now have a new roommate. She's moving in as I type this. When I first met her, she seemed like a nice girl, but I've heard from some of my friends that she's not a very nice girl. Yesterday while texting, it seemed like we would get along but now I'm a little worried about it. Earlier, I went down to a friends room to pick up some movies they had borrowed and Miss K was in my room watching The Good Witch. My roommate was carrying a large white tub into the room and having some trouble so Miss K asked if she needed help. According to Miss K, my roommate looked at her, rolled her eyes, and told her no.

That to me is not very nice at all. When I was told she would be moving into my room I texted her and told her if she needed help just to let us know and Miss K and I would help her move but she never texted and she just started moving in about an hour and a half ago. I just hope that she and I can get along and not have any problems. I also need to work on the energies in the room ... Things are getting a little um, wrong. That's on the list for tomorrow. I'll keep everyone updated on things. Oh also, I'm going to my mom's this weekend! Getting a hair cut and maybe dying my hair! I'm a little excited! Also, I'll get to go to Hastings or Barnes & Noble with Mom and we'll be getting new tarot cards, so exciting!

A New Roommate

For the first part of this semester I didn't have a roommate. I was actually hoping not to have one at all. But just a couple minutes ago, my RA (residential assistant) knocked on my door and handed me a list of names. They are consolidating rooms and all the people without roommates are having to choose one. So I've been apprehensive and probably a little closed minded about it. Miss K is constantly reminding me not to jump to conclusions. These conclusions come from last semester when I had a terrible roommate.

Last semester I had a young woman who was 17 years old, first time away from home. Now I'm 22 years old, I do not have to live on campus but I choose to because it is paid for by my grandfather. Now I don't want to say that our differences were brought on by our ages because Miss K is younger than I am and we are best friends. I really cannot tell you what made us so different. However, she was not a very clean person, she made messes and just left them there, shoved the coffee table into the entertainment center and arranged the living room so no one could walk around. On top of that, she was one of those people that would be really nice to you to your face but talk bad about you to your friends.

I grew tired of having to tell her to clean up after herself and all of that. I am not here to be someone's mom. Because of her false niceties the room was infested with negativity and I grew to be a fairly negative person. I gave up on trying to keep the negativity at bay because it was just always there and there was nothing I could do about it unless I just sat around my room and constantly expended energy to keep the room negativity free.

So because of the experience I had last semester I was really hoping if I just minded my own business and didn't remind my RA that I don't have a roommate no one would be assigned to me. But after almost a month of being back at school they have decided not to ignore all of us without roommates. I called the residential living office and spoke to them about the situation. They kind of made me feel a little better about the situation but I am still a little nervous. They assured me I probably won't have to move out of my room since I've been here since last semester. However, they are going to assign someone to me and since I don't know anyone on the list I won't get to know them until they move in. This makes me nervous because I don't know what kind of person this girl will be. I don't know if we'll even be compatible at all. But I trust in the God and Goddess and I know they will put someone in here that I can live with. So fingers crossed ... I hope she's nice and accepting ...
