a piece of me











My roommate is moving out. After almost a full semester of conflict, semi-friendship, and silence, she is leaving. She is marrying the only guy she has ever been in a relationship with and they have only been together since last May. If she’s happy, I think it’s great. We haven’t been getting along this year, despite the fact that we have been good friends since like sophomore year (we are seniors now). She’s a great person, just kind of hard to live with at times and I’m sure I’m not always a peach either. I am very excited about the room situation though. I (hopefully) get to have the room to myself. This means that I will still have two girls in the apartment with me but I won’t have to share my room. This is the first time in nearly four years that I have had my own room. My mother has pretty much taken over my room at home and she sleeps in there a lot even when I am home (dad snores really bad) and I have had roommates all through college. I am already decorating the room in my head. I’m pretty sure I dreamed about it last night too. I am worried though. It seems that loneliness has fallen upon me today for some reason. My phone is quiet today because everyone is either studying for finals or they know that I am studying for them. It’s good for me of course because my three finals I have to take are killers this time. There is also no one here. That is fairly unusual considering that all of us girls in the apartment have boyfriends and friends that frequently come over. I guess the lake of people around me today is making me lonely. It may also be because of the mom situation. I don’t know. I feel cut off from everyone at the moment and I am not sure why. I wish there was someone out there who went through this stuff and could give me advice. Are moms always right or can the guy they don’t like be a great one for their daughter? On a completely different note…there is a Santa Claus roast on VH1 right now. The guy playing Santa is one of the guys from Cheers. I really hope no little kids are watching this. It would traumatize them. I saw Mama from that show Mama’s Family on there. My brother and I used to love that show. I guess I will get back to studying for a while. Maybe I will pop Breakfast at Tiffany’s into the DVD player. It is my ritual for when I feel sad and lonely. I have no idea why but Audrey Hepburn and her handsome male love interest make me less lonely.
