just me and my laptop (and Diet Pepsi Twist, for good measure)
Oh man. It's awesome how unproductive I can be faced with a whole evening on my own... have done almost nothing productive since packing that one box (and that was in the first 10 minutes of reaching my room!) I was clearing my mail and trying to settle bbq stuff, when Yahoo! died on me. Then, having cleverly left all my textbooks on campus, I tried downloading articles for reading but failed horribly, esp since my room has once more become the Chemistry Conference Centre (and I'm up to *here* with Chem).
So I'm seeking refuge in the SL study room (which is quiet if nothing else). It's weird that I can work with 4 or 5 other Singaporeans one of in those meeting rooms in the Reg but not with my roomie and her bf whispering behind me... guess I don't spend enough time there. It's getting so bad that my housemates prob spend more time in it than I do; I can tell because they always walk in looking for other people, and look taken aback that I'm there.
In any case, 3 ppl in 2 rooms can get a bit crowded, not just cos we're squeezing our stuff (and our schedules) to fit 1 bathroom, but cos ppl generally regard our room as a common room. I've walked in countless times to find everything in pitch darkness, 6-10 bodies sprawled around, and a movie blasting. Hence the many late nights in the Reg. Or does it work both ways?
Anyway this sad situation, and my impending moving out into a bright (literally) new household, and mango's blog, has started me wondering whether I'll miss my roomies... At first I was really irritated cos of their tendencies to litter and to borrow my stuff without asking. But I've grown quite close to one of them, cos she seems genuinely interested in my life and in what I think (she even interviewed me for her Human Development class, how cool is that). The other is, well, considerate but not particularly close... we don't really share any interests. Still I totally agree that they're the first to witness my initial unmodulated reactions... my most natural, vulnerable sides (before going to sleep and upon waking up)... and my horrible bad habits heh.
On second thought most of my housemates are pretty nice actually, I just never had the time or energy to get to know them better. It's usually too late or too many ppl around... interestingly enough I am an introvert and I really only open up to ppl I've known well, and for a while. Communal dorm life just doesn't agree with me... and I didn't make the effort to agree with it either. In any case, it's a bit late for regrets liao... I'll just try to live harmoniously and peacefully for now!
