Memo to people on my floor: the kitchen is not a common room

[guanin]

I'm hungry. I've been hungry for an hour now. But there's been this group in the kitchen for an hour and a half and I don't know if they have it confused with the dining room because there's no way they're still cooking. I don't feel like talking face to face with people right now. Sometimes I really, strongly, don't want to physically interact. Talking online is always welcome, but I just don't feel like handling food in front of people, ever. I'm irrational that way. Their chatting is also very annoying as people seem to forget that the doors are no barrier against noise from the hall and I can't concentrate. I feel like I'm bang really bitchy about it, but I'm hungry. Can't I be irrational in peace?

ETA: They finally left. As I sat here eating, I suddenly realized something. I've been stocking up on potatoes because they're filling and the cheapest thing in the store. Potatoes are known as "poor man's bread". Greeaat. Screw it. I'm a total potato fan.

Ah, the joy of living with many people that you did not choose yourself. It can never be understated, that kind of joy.

And rubbish! Potatoes are awesome. No one can tell me otherwise. Like little morsels of deliciousness that grow in the ground. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Nice sarcasm. At least I have the room to myself, because I refuse to have roommates again. I shared a flat with three other people my first year and hell no I ain't doing that again. Though with sharing the kitchen and bathroom I'm halfway there, but the room is mine and mine alone. Now only if people didn't insist on chatting for hours on end in the hall.

Potatoes are love. Baked, grilled, fried, boiled; it's all good.

Is it that bad living in a dorm?

My only "dorm" kind of experience is when a group of adults and many teenagers went to a ranch. And we had to sleep there.The first night everyone insistead on talking while I wanted to sleep. And I am not pleasent when I do not have my sleep. So I took all my stuff and went to a spare room by myself! Ha! And the second night I ate something wrong and passed all night getting acquainted with the toilets. Bad experience, yes. But there were some nice things during the day.

Speaking of potatoes... have you ever eaten a "poutine"? It is french fries(I think Brits call them chips (lol)) covered with cheese cubes and hot gravy sauce. It is delicious! But I say that potatoes in general are the greatest.

Well, there's bad things and good things. The good: dorms are close to uni and if the uni is in the downtown area of a big city (as has been my experience both in Chicago and here in London) the location is fantastic. It's also cheaper than any other places in the same area. The bad: sharing your space with other people who you may or may not get long with. In Chicago I was in a 4 person flat sharing a room with someone. Here I'm in a single room, but I share the bathroom and kitchen. So much better, but people congregating in the kitchen for that long gets to me, especially since it's right in front of my room.

I'm cranky too when I don't get sleep. Sleep is one of the greatest things ever! *eyes bed yearningly*

No, I hadn't heard of that. Though I prefer fries without stuff on them. With mashed potatoes I'll add stuff.
