well, i've emailed about the noise because it is ruining this place for me.
i knocked on next door at around 10:30 saying that if they wanted to hang out and talk and stuff after 10pm they needed to take it to the communal kitchen area or go out to a bar or something...
they seemed to try and be quieter for a bit and did eventually piss off around 11pm.
noisy girl simply can't be not noisy. she's got a high pitched voice and if she's visiting my neighbour even behind 2 closed doors her voice travels through. and she's constant... talking or making eee noises or whatever. she simply can't be quiet. i get that. and she can't really be alone. and she's befriended 2 people and the quietest (hence most pursued) seems to be my neighbour. so noisy girl spends her time calling out to the others...
it is possible that they don't put any thought at all into room / floor allocations for studios. they might just be randomly assigned. or... i suppose it is possible that they thought they knew what would be good for me so very much better than i did. i mean... i made it very clear on my application about what i needed and what my priorities were. i really don't think that these visiting people would be particularly misrepresenting themselves... put the people who are very keen on the social thing TOGETHER. why is that so hard?
anyway... i said it was probably too late to change room / floor assignments for this semester now... but that i would give up this room (which i'll be very sad to leave, honestly) if there were a quieter one available. requested a noise free and / or 25+ year old floor for next year.
and once again... if people don't listen to me... i'll have to bring in 'disability'. that seems to be what that is about... for the times when people simply will not listen to what i have to say about how things are with me and how important things are for me... i need to say that and bring some kind of clout of disability law behind me. not that the whole disability thing has very much power (not that there are very much disabled people in / with power)...
i found this UK handbook on medical doctor diversity. where are the transgender doctors? where are the doctors with disabilities? etc... NZ gets it when it comes to Maaori and Pacific Islander doctors... Rural doctors... Why not other minority groups? I guess that was what I was thinking before...
