| Suitemate: I am so glad the year is over. This entire year, you were inconsiderate and rude by practicing your instrument at odd hours of the night on weekdays. Yes, I know you're in a band, and I know you need to practice. But there are soundproof practice rooms for a reason, and why did people around you have to suffer because you were too lazy to cross the street to use them? (And yes, we suffered even when you were practicing at reasonable hours.) Furthermore, it confounds me that you needed to practice so late at night so often.
I don't know why it was so hard for you to understand that no one enjoys listening to others practicing at top volume (the I-want-the-back-of-the-concert-hall-to-hear-me kind) at 2 in the morning. While you're by no means the only irresponsible jerk out there, your obnoxious attitude did put a damper on my year, since I lost too many nights of sleep listening to you practice.
Perhaps I played a part in enabling you because I didn't bring this issue to the RA, but I had really hoped that students at a good school would be smart and socially responsible. I guess that was asking too much. |
