Getting annoyed

My roommates are great and I get along with them pretty well. However they got on my nerves pretty badly this week. When I about to try to sleep they kept me up by yelling in a very high pitch voice and laughing really loud in the living room. This wouldn't usually bother me but it was 12:00 a.m. and I had a class in the morning. Then when I was about to get out of bed and say something the finally calmed down and I couldn't hear them anymore. But the sounds of laughter and yelling soon changed to loud music coming from my roommate who lives in the room right next to mine. I thought to myself "Does he not have classes tomorrow?". This was really getting on my nerves but instead of saying anything i just put on my headphones (did he not have headphones???) and put on relaxing music to fall asleep to. I usually would say something in this scenario but it was a one time thing and didn't feel like getting out of bed.

Getting Noticed

My mom always ignores me when she is watching T.V. (she says she can't hear me but I don't believe this) and it can get on my nerves sometimes. I can call her name multiple times with no response at all. One day I was in a not so good mood and needed to ask her an important question however she was watching T.V. so she was ignoring me. This began to really frustrate me so I went to our circuit breaker and turned off the electricity in our living room. My mom had no idea what was going on and came to me to see if I could fix it because her favorite show was on and I told her I could if she answered my question. She answered me and I fixed her problem immediately. The funny thing is she never suspected that I was the one to turn off the power in the first place.

College Transitioning

Going from high-school to college was a big move in my life. It is very different socially here compared to my home town. It is very nice that I am away from my parents and I get to be more independent however, the residential assistants can be kind of annoying and feel like they are always in my personal space. Next year I am very excited to get my own place and will never have to deal with anyone in me personal space. The work load compared to high school is very different. Sometimes I have work that will keep me up all night and sometimes I have none at all when compared to high-school I had a steady work flow that I could more easily adapt to. The type of work is also different as it is much challenging compared to high-school. Here I have roommates that I have to try to get along with but it is not to bad because he all have separate rooms. I have no idea how people share rooms in college sometimes. Here there are much more fun things to do but in my home town the only things we could do for fun is go to the beach. It might be much different here from my old life but overall I think it is the best change I have ever experienced.

Perfect Vacation

I have always wonder what it would be like to travel out of the country. I have never left but really want to at least once and that is why Japan would probably be my dream vacation. I would pick Japan because there are beautiful things to see and would love to look at all the technology they have. I would love to see and take pictures of Mount Fuji. And going to Tokyo is a must, actually that is probably where I would spend most my time. I have heard there are many crazy and extravagant restaurants in Tokyo. I would try to visit as much museums as possible. Tokyo Tower has always caught my attention and I would love to ride to the top floor and look as far off into the distance as possible.
