"Five minutes or I'll kick them out"

Mid-week already and time flies faster than ever. We're in the middle of October and I have been here in Linz for almost five weeks.

I may have told you about my roomies and their habits in earlier posts. Anyway: they are very loud at night. It has happened several times that they come home some time after 2 am and start making noise instead of shutting up. If they are hungry, they start cooking. Forget about sandwiches, they actually start cooking. It's not wrong, only very different.

Anyhow, last night they got home around 2 or 3 am and this time they brought 7-8 other students into our small apartment. They started shouting and they started singing, piss drunk as they were (or at least what they seemed to be). I woke up sometime around 3 am, and instantly I felt that "here we go again"- feeling. I've asked these guys kindly to be quiet in the middle of the night when I am asleep. I am always careful not to wake them up but this does obviously not go in to their heads. When I heard the zoo in the other room singing "I kissed a girl and I liked it" 3:20 am it really pissed me off. I jumped out of my bed, went straight up to one of my roomies and said: "I give you five minutes to get rid of these people or I will personally get them out of here, physically".

Note that it is not my intention to brag about this. Nobody can expect me to be nice in that situation. Who would be nice in such situation anyway? This isn't the first time they do this and it's not the first time it happens in the middle of the week. I mean OK, if it was a Friday or a Saturday it would be easier to accept and to move on. But not for me on a Tuesday night, the night before an 11-hour day (!!!) filled with lessons, seminars and studies at campus.

They were apparently offended by my somehow offensive demeanor. I was in no position to be pissed off about being bounced out of bed from the horrific tunes of that stupid song.

Fuck it, I don't even want to think about it. I am currently enjoying success in other areas of life, and I couldn't be happier.
