Alex said this to me yesterday regarding the roomie we don't like. She has bothered me for a long (probably because I'm the one next to her and get to bear the brunt of her inconsideration,) but I think her attitude has started to bother Alex. We are fortunate that Jen, Alex and I get along pretty well. We hang out occasionally also (it really helps to have mutual friends.) Not only does Carol not get along with us, she's never tried. I guess she's not interested in making more friends. Which is fine, she may be blessed enough to have as many as she wants/needs. But, in my opinion, this does not mean that you can be rude to your roommates!!! I think she's in denial about having any roommates. If we are around, she will duck her head down and look the other way to avoid contact with us. I don't think this is any way to treat people that you live with. Granted, she may be a little ticked at the email I sent her over Christmas break, but nothing in it was particularly mean I think (she was bothering even the people across the hall with her music.)
Anyway, I've been thinking. Who raises their children to be so rude and inconsiderate?!?! That makes me nervous for the future of this society... maybe she just suffers from Techie syndrome. Not socially adept. I don't think we should have to put up with that, but I'm also not one for confrontations. Oh well... like Alex said, less than 1 semester left!

I think she's intimidated at how overwhelmingly cool we are!! Love, Alex, the star of this entry
She doesn't yell. She's in denial about having roommates, so this means she won't even look at us... yelling (or even looking) would mean acknowledging that she lives with people and I don't think she's ready to do that yet.
