Snappy [This is long...sorry]

I haven't written in a long time, however I have good news and a bad problem.

I found out that I will be finishing my book by Christmas time and Dorrance publishing will be editing the book in January hopefully.  If things go as planned, I could soon be a published author.


Bad thing.  So living in a suite is very convenient.  But who knew that a bathroom could cause so many problems.  My suite mate has been getting upset that I go to her a lot to discuss bathroom problems and not to her roommate also.  Honestly I just talk to her more because I know her a lot more.  Plus she's in the room a lot more so I tend to catch her  more.  It has nothing to do with just her personally.  

The only problems we have been having is that I've bought the majority of bathroom cleaning supplies, and my roommate and I have been cleaning it the most.  And only the one suite mate has helped to clean.  Also, there is a blow dryer and two straighteners in the tiny bathroom that I always tend to hit or step on. It's small things that are building up.

I understand that the one roommate is getting fed up with me talking to her about it, but I don't know what else to do.  Granted, if her roommate comes around and my mind isn't focused on work, then I will talk to her about it no problem.  What got me writing about this today is just a post-it.  I noticed that the sink was clogged a lot more than it was.  I just wrote a post it and put it on the mirror to let everyone know that the sink was draining even slower, so they shouldn't leave the water on too long, or else it will be an over flow.  I said "Do NOT leave sink running!  It's really slow to drain now.  Only turn on when absolutely necessary!  I'll email Carly [RA] again - Sarah"

It was 7 am.  Maybe it was written too forceful, but I just wanted to let everyone know so they don't walk away and come back to a puddle.  It happens sometimes.  Now that I've come back from class and I went to the bathroom I saw a very angry letter in return,

"I already do my best to not waste water.  I can also see that the drain is slowing.  A less "mom" approach would've been to just mention the 2nd work order and assume we know how clogged sinks work," Not sure who wrote it.

I thought I was being helpful.  Apparently I was being a bitch without knowing it.  I understand the frustration with school work and everything else so a bathroom doesn't really compare, but that was unnecessary.  I would have told everyone if they were awake, but I was the only one up.  So much for just trying to be helpful.  Why is it that everything I do lately just screws me over...I'm very ready to get off campus.  I'm tired of this shit that gets bigger than it really needs to be.

With this time of the year, with school work, holidays, work, deadlines, and this stupid drama that's built up, I'm sure at some point I may snap as well.
