What has been repeated the last few pages: Go to your RD. Go to the housing dept. They should be sympathetic in the first place-they're being paid to. If you can't get any response, keep bothering them and threaten to call the police the next time he does something. Get recordings. Specifically mention the disruption of your concentration, the racism, etc. At the very worst, things stay the same and you request a room change at the end of the semester or move off campus.

Also you've got some people you can vent your righteous anger at.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I seriously don't think my concentration and his racism are at all something they'd care about. The housing department is like complaining to the President about a county ordinance.

Also you've got some people you can vent your righteous anger at.

Now that's very unwise. You want me to vent at the people who can have me evicted?

[Flying Dice]

If you've never tried, you can't really know. If you have tried and the people who are being paid to care about your problems don't care about your problems, there are probably larger issues with your university. The one I attend is incredibly helpful with mediating conflicts and getting room assignments changed, even for first-semester freshmen. I recall someone who didn't get along with her roommate in a really petty way getting a transfer through in ten days all the way in late October last year.

Evicted for what? Complaining?

I'm not advocating punching anyone in the face, or breaking their cardboard standees. But if you're angry, then you're absolutely justified at going to the proper authority and whining about it. Constantly. Maybe not enough to get a restraining order against you, but certainly enough to annoy them into doing something.


Maybe I'm just doing some fallacious cold reading here, but are you trying to solve the problem without getting help from others? Won't work in this case.

Plan Alpha, as it was, was to simply wait for Worst Person on Earth to cause his own downfall. The downside of Plan Alpha is that I have to endure him until he fucks up and not get taken down with him whenever that happens.

[Flying Dice]

This is one of those situations where being passive and self-reliant won't solve your problem at all unless you can plan and execute the perfect murder without lifting a finger.


_{Note: I do not advocate murder as a solution to temporary problems. But if you do decide to kill someone, do it in the laziest way possible.}

MSH, you mentioned something about not having a place to relax. I would suggest that you find a small, local gym or other such space with a comfortable loft/rest area. First of all, this gives you access to exercise equipment(yay punching bags!) for you to take your anger out on, but it also gives you a quiet space to do work or relax, without being as pressuring as a study room.


Yeah, you can probably guess where I'm posting this from.

On this note, your university should have a quiet section in the library with no conversation or electronics allowed.

I think libraries count as "quiet tension."

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Indeed. I want somewhere where I can sit around on my computer and do frivolous things on the internet in silence. But Worst Person in the World is never quiet, except for when he blasts music.

Mm, you may be right. That could just be my bibliophilia talking.

GODDAMNIT ARGH WHY COULDN'T I GET TO SLEEP?!

I knew I had stuff to do today, I made a point not to go to bed too late, and then I just could. Not. Sleep.
I don't even know why, I was just tossing and turning and unable to get comfortable. Then, if I finally got somewhat comfortable, my fucking feet would suddenly be cold. And EVERY SINGLE NOISE IN THE HOUSE would disturb me.

I tried putting music on, then I switched to softer music. Usually soft music helps me sleep, but for some reason I COULD NOT stop my idiot brain from focusing on ever note, every beat. D: So then I turned it off again, and just lay there, thinking stupid daydream-ish thoughts about stuff, running through scenarios in my head.
Finally, finally I start to doze off, feeling nice and warm with that heaviness of the eyelids to tell me I'm falling sleep, when I realise I left my phone(and hence alarms) out by the computer on charge. So of course I have to rouse myself, get up and stagger out to grab my phone.

And of course when I get back, once again I cannot get comfortable, my blanket(s) are suddenly too short to cover my feet, the floor is made of lumps and my toe itches. FFFFUUUUUU--

Usually I have no trouble getting to sleep, but when I actually have something planned for the next day and make an effort to ensure I get plenty of rest? LOL NOPE.

Sounds like anxiety.

[Yoink]

I guess so. Ugh.
This doesn't happen to me when I'm dreading something the next day, though... Then again, on such occasions I generally stay up til 4AM anyway, 'cause fuck it.
