They're also dirty. I may not be the master of clean, but I can lean food residue off of a dish. And someone decided to use the microwave, have something explode in it, and just walked off. WHO DOES THAT!? This isn't someone's personal home? I can let MY microwave get dirty because it's MINE. That doesn't work when the microwave is shared by 20 girls. And there's also a girl that doesn't wash her hands. I was in the bathroom, she walked in, used the toilet (and did her business) and just walked out. She didn't even look at the water. SHE COULD OF AT LEAST FAKED IT.
Did I tell you that they're rude? Besides just wandering the halls, they couldn't greet someone if their life depended on it. Would a "good morning" really kill them? Would it!? I've quit saying good morning in this dorm, because it doesn't even register in their heads. They either ignore it or just continue to lumber through the halls. The Japanese are better at greeting me, and they're scared of me.
And it seems that not only are they rude, but they're illiterate, since they can't read the signs about "quiet hours" or how sound travels when you talk in the hall, which is why they request you don't do it (not that they care, because what do they have to wake up for? Oh yeah...CLASS). I guess this is also the reason that at one or two in the morning I can be woken up by the lovely sounds of someone slamming the microwave door shut, because walking down to the kitchen and letting me sleep would be too much for them (My room is next to the "kitchen" area upstairs, which is why it's a special peeve of mine).
I want to know how they function. They obviously don't sleep, so how are they going to class? They're more then willing to skip class to shop (I kid you not), but it seems that class takes the back seat. I'M NOT EVEN GETTING GRADES FROM THIS SCHOOL AND I CARE MORE. >:[
Did I miss out on this super powered young people gene? I need sleep, and I know how to shut the hell up, and I can read a sign. Did I miss something? I'm done with dorms. Stinky, awful, loud dorms. Never again!
After this I'm moving into a retirement home and playing scrabble.

P.P.S. I can't really understand your comment, Dad, so I'll just say thank you. :)
Ewwww @ dorms. Every time I consider moving out of my parents house to be closer to school, the thought of having room-mates makes me shudder. I'll be living at home until I can afford an apartment by myself, lol.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS on your Honors! Clearly there are benefits to missing the "dumbass kids" gene, :P
I am so proud of you and always have been. You work so hard and deserve all the awards and attention. I got the certificate in the mail.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the dorm situation, I know you hate it. I am counting the days until you return to the US and be back in your apt and with me where I know you will have peace and quite. You know now that you are not and have not missed anything by living in a dorm and/or hanging out with "young" people. I too dream of living in a retirement community.
