Communication is Key,

especially when living with in the same house.

As some of you may know, I've opted to live off campus with three friends this year. Now, luckily, we all get along wonderfully (for the most part), but this weekend I was very much ready to kill one of my housemates.

The issues began when he first informed me that he was moving back to the house Monday. Then, as it happens, Monday became Tuesday and Tuesday became Friday. However, when he said he was coming Friday, I was under the impression that he meant Friday at a REASONABLE time and not Friday at 11:59pm, when I'm half-awake and vegging on the couch. He also neglected to inform us that his entire family was coming with him...and that they were planning on staying in our house overnight (which I assumed anyway after they showed up at midnight).

Now, when I said he brought his entire family, it's not a figure of speach. He literally rolled in with his mom, his older sister, his younger sister, and his dog. And then they stayed from Friday night through Monday morning, waking up at the crack of dawn (7-8 o'clock in the morning for us college students) and banging around in the kitchen, creating noise, chaos, and extra dishes.

I can tell you, the homicide would have been completely justifiable.
