There is no justification. She is always right. No arguing, that's that.
So I believe that living here is really continuing to be more of a character-building experience than I had ever bargained for. The roommate situation still continues to deteriorate since we had a little spat on Thursday -- and by little I mean she yelled at me for 15 minutes, I took it and wasn't allowed a word in otherwise because she closed the door on me when she was done talking.
Today was a bit more of that long, drawn out problem. But at least I got in three words of self-defense. So what I'm learning from this is not tolerance or anything heart-warming and important like that. Nope, I'm learning that I'm never again going to live with someone I don't know prior to moving. Even if I have to live in some dumpy little place all by myself, I think it will be that much better.
The funny thing is that I keep thinking, "I wish I lived with someone normal." And I apologize for every French woman that reads this, but you guys are a little stubborn when you hold to an opinion ;-) I won't continue to generalize, but just say that I think we're going to butt heads more often in the future. So living at my house is again becoming a hostile environment.
But luckily I have family nearby and friends are coming soon, so I'll find lots of ways to distract myself or find excuses to be out of the house. And once this dang rain stops, I fully intend on going to the beach as much as possible!
Let's hope things get a little better. If not, then let's hope that my time continues to keep flying and not drag on! But one thing to look forward to: VACATION SOON!

Ah roommate drama... I think everyone has a story or two along those lines, which is exactly why I chose to live in a "dumpy little place all by myself" instead of doing the colloc thing. And I couldn't be happier with my decision, though it gets lonely sometimes.
Anyway I hope it all works out for you. It really can be a pain, but it sounds like you have enough to keep yourself occupied at least. Is it vacation yet?
