Okay, before my favorite line to hear was, "ahh ye live in stab city? Sorry 'bout yer luck." now it is "Taylor, Don't look in the kitchen!" or "I swear we are not this bad; we are not this gross; we do not drink this much; it will be better next week. Promise" Honestly, I do not know which is more annoying to hear.
My roommates moved in Sunday night- and were out of the apt within an hour of arriving-and we have gone through 5 rolls of toilet paper in the 'girls' bathroom. That is an entire roll a day. Those guys better cough up some Toilet Paper for that bathroom if they are going to continue to use it.
So far I have met about 10 extended roommates. We have had at least two new people sleeping on the couches a night, eating our food, making huge messes then dippin' out the next morning. Not to mention the excessive noises and banging that they insist on doing between 3-6am each morning upon arrival from wherever they go (okay, I had to mention it). Somehow they also figure out a way to completely turn off the heat in this apartment, so one day I will be comfortable in my room, then next I'm dressing like I am going to visit Kell in Alaska (which I want to do still!).
When I wake up -about 4 hours before anyone else in the house- I find myself feeling as though I need to tiptoe around and be quiet because they asleep- or passed out in the kitchen. But then I remember wait, they kept me up last night and had no regard for me trying to sleep, so why should I be overly conscious..? I am not going to lie, I have purposely not held the door a few times and let it close loudly- oops.
I feel really bad because they are always apologizing and saying we are not this bad, people always come in and say we are so clean, and compliment our house...yeah well I find it reallly hard to believe. They are all really nice though and I enjoy how sweet and welcoming they have been so far (besides the obnoxiousness, filth, smells, immaturity and loud noises). I know that sounds really bad, but I almost would miss them I think.
I have looked at the two other apartments that have open rooms, and am going to try to get a key here soon to see the individual rooms. There are 6 people in each house, 3 guys and 3 girls. They are upperclassmen, and quiet. They seem to be clean, I just want to check and see what the individual rooms look/smell like. My room smells like smoke every time I open it. Apparently the girl smoked in here that moved out. I even spray Febreeze before I leave and am going to invest in a candle. If she can smoke, then I can burn a candle. The other apartment was noticeably warmer as well. Once I meet all of the housemates in the other apartment- I just met one German girl, but her English is fabulous, and the rest will be Irish I think.
My housemates go home for the weekend, so if I decide to move I will do it this weekend so it is not as awkward. I just fear that If I move I will have nothing to blog to you about.

Here are pictures. I am about to go on a walk around the Shannon River.
These are all from when I arrived, I think the dishes on the counter should have given me fair warning that it wont always be clean...
Morning 2 or 3 ^^^
This is from today, AFTER they cleaned.... ^^^^









Priceless... Remember what Grandma said - "You might be jumping form the fire into the frying pan". Having reminded you of that - Heat might be the most important thing at this point. Bundle up, Love you. - Mom
