Week 3 - Personality Disorders

Dear Mom,

College is horrible. My roommate is incredibly messy and all her clothes always cross the invisible line that I clearly set up between my side of the room and hers. She is constantly leaving trash on the floor that floods over to my side. What's worse is the community bath. The conditions are simply deplorable! The shower curtain is too thin and moldy. The disgusting soap residue left around the corners of the shower are so disgusting! I cannot stand my dorm's pathetic excuse for a shower!

However, you'll be happy to hear that I have created a lovely spread sheet of all my class and assignments for the whole entire month. I even created a schedule for my every day tasks and I pinned it up perfectly above my desk. However the worst thing happened one day, when my roommate came in with all her friends during my specified and scheduled study session! I was so angry and could not believe that she didn't read my schedule. I even gave her a copy of it at the begining of the semester and yet she still did not follow it! I am still extremely angry at her. I think I will write her another set of rules that clearly explains when it would be completely inappropriate to bring in all her loud and messy friends while I try to study for my exam that is in three months! I really need it completely silent when I study and my roommate is not helping at all!

Well, enough about my lousy roommate. My professor recently assigned a project, but unfortunately I have to work in a group. I hate working with others. They are just so incompetent--especially the group I am stuck with. I just had to take care of everything myself. First of all, we were supposed to meet exactly at 6 o'clock, but no one even showed up until 6:04. I emailed every single one of them each day to remind them that we had to meet up and brainstorm ideas, yet none of them had researched anything yet! And we were given the assignment yesterday! That was more than enough time for me to research my portion of the project, make a fruit salad, and go to yoga class for an hour! These people are just so irresponsible; I need to ask my professor if he can just let me do the project alone!

Oh, I can't write anymore. My schedule indicates that it's time for me to organize my closet. I do this three times a week, making sure that every thing is color-coordinated and hung by seasonal order. The tank-tops go first, then the short sleeves, followed by the long sleeves. The summer clothes go in the front, then fall and winter clothes, respectively, then the spring clothes go in the back. One of my shirts actually, shrunk a lot in the evil dorm dryer, but I can't bear to spend my birthday money on buying another, because I need to save everything I can just in case I need it later. Any catastrophe can happen in college--I may very well concoct a terrible disease from that sickening food from the dorm cafeteria. Well, anyways I will write more to you at a time that fits better into my schedule, though it's highly unlikely because I have so much to do this month.

Sincerely, Melissa
