this is my second year, and so far it's alright. my roommate is a freshman and doesn't know the ropes. she's sort of looking to impress, which is unnecessary--i think she's pretty neat and she's going to learn a lot this year.

my first year was horrible. i had three roommates first semester, and none the next. my first roommate lasted a few days, and she was in a sorority. she was pretty cool, though. however, one of our suitemates knew her and wanted to switch with me. so i did, and my second roommate was a post-goth (?) "massage therapist." she was actually really nice, but we had some boundary problems. after two months, she packed up with her internet boyfriend of two weeks and moved to new orleans. my third roommate was a black panther who was also nice. i got rather sick and she would run errands for me and such. however, she decided to steal my credit card when she left school in early january before i returned. i moved back in against the advice of the doctors who diagnosed me with mononucleosis, and i almost died from a kidney infection i developed in february. because of those events, i'm beginning this semester on academic probation.

and, believe it or not, i had a good time.
