i'll just have to wait and see. it is a bit early to tell yet. i found the building plans at some point... but i can't seem to locate them again... i think the shared apartments tend to be on the lower levels... and of course those people are having to play happy families / best buddies with their new apartment-mates... doing everything together... finding the supermarket... the gym... the comfy bean bags in the library (hey! lets go sit by that girl with a book who is reading she must be lonely bet she will love to hear us talk about crap!!)...
it isn't just maaori / pacific people with their animal noises... american undergrads have this, too. especially the girls. high pitched... incessant noise. this real fight to be the noisiest / most attention capturing. the guys do it too, actually. quite a lot of them. yells and shouts and sudden movements. attention capturing again. and the more resolutely you ignore their attempt to gain your attention (not wanting to reinforce them) the more they escalate in their behaviour...
a... panicked quality...
desperation...
violence. even.i do remember... usually the gym works out for me when... some of the bigger / scarier guys respect my training and they stare / growl down the attempts of gangs of insecure guys to mess that up (e.g., they notice that moving in my line of sight when i'm about to lift annoys me so they start doing it more - till someone else stares them down). because otherwise... i just leave. i... can't do. can't do anything. because the people won't let me.
:(
why did those people have to come back????
:(
...
deep breaths.
please oh please oh please don't ruin this for me.
