Once again, Carol and I are trying to get along with. It always works at the beginning... let's see how long it's gonna last.

If Carol had a cat... it'd be like this, exactly as she is

ehehehe

Enought...I can't agreed with that situation anymore!

Today I arrieved in home and the house was a completely mess...I found caroline's bra in the figider!!!

This is to much for me...She will have to make a choice!

Nowadays, I didn't stay in my room much - I had gotten extremely fed up with Caroline . I would come in

the mornings and she would have guys over from the night before. I had to walk in one morning and see one of them naked. Not cool.  She doesn't make any attempt to clean her side of the room. I am MAD. I'm normally calm but I really want to strangle her sometimes.

Ten Tips on Speaking with Authority and Power

1. Think the part!
If you believe you have the power and authority to say what you are saying this will help tremendously. You really need to see yourself as brimming with power, authority and gravitas.

2. Dress the part!
Powerful people wear powerful clothes. They appear smart, even in casual wear. They take care of their appearance and generally look good. Purple and blue are seen as powerful colours by an audience.

3. Speak the part!
Use power language. Don’t say ‘perhaps’ or ‘maybe’ be certain. Powerful and authoritative people speak with absolute certainty – even if they are not really sure.

4. Act the part!
When you are on stage stand up straight, look people in the eye and dominate your stage with definite and decisive gestures.

5. Move
Move around your stage. Start off in the centre front and then move so you cover a lot of ground. Static presenters are not seen as authoritative.

6. Create powerful associations.
Link yourself to other powerful and authoritative people by agreeing with what they say. Use quotations if necessary.

7. Be short and sweet
Speak with short sentences and leave pauses for people to absorb what you have said. Long, convoluted language makes you appear unintelligible and therefore you have no power or influence.

8. Have a stunning opening
Start with a dynamic and interesting opening that connects with your audience immediately. Mention them, use a personal anecdote or ask a question.

9. Power pack your ending
Make sure your ending is power-packed. Like a great overture you need to end with a rousing crash! To do this, summarise what you have said and then give your audience an action you need them to take.

10. Stand still at the end
When you have delivered your final words – stand still, centre stage looking your audience in the eye. Stay there and pause for several seconds before leaving the stage.

Hi!

I was reading my Blog today and I didn't like the things I wrote here...

It seemed that Caroline was the only subject I had to talk about!!!!

Well, since I wrote so much about her, let's contimuous...

We're still sharing a room. Things got better now... I would not say that we're best friends, but we're not enemies anymore.

I don't know what to do with Caroline!!!

I really need some advice!!!

Leave me some comments and tips... I'd be very glad!

The Pros of Roommates

• it's often cheaper as costs (rent, utilities, food) are split
• household chores are a shared responsibility
• you can often afford a bigger apartment with more living space if you split the costs
• a roommate can assuage loneliness

The Cons of Roommates

• a perceived (if not real) lack of privacy
• someone else's problems can become yours
• you're relying on someone else honoring their obligations (to pay rent, to pay utilities, etc.)
• there's always the potential for disputes, even with a friend

Some Considerations

• Just because someone's been your best friend since elementary school doesn't mean he or she will make a great roommate.

  Often living together can destroy even a close friendship.
• It's a good idea to know going in what you want in a roommate and what you won't tolerate. Will you accept a roommate who smokes? What about one with a live-in boyfriend or girlfriend? Will you live with someone of the opposite sex? What about someone of a different sexual orientation? What about cleanliness? Pets? Morning person vs. night owl?
• If you're looking for a room sharing situation (rather than looking for an apartment with a friend), you need to start looking as early as possible. It can sometimes take longer to find an acceptable rental share situation than just to find an apartment.
• As with any apartment search, make sure everyone you know knows that you are looking. You never know where the perfect lead will come from, but often people are your best source. And people who know you well will probably also recommend things they know you'll like.
• Ask questions. If you're looking at apartment share situations, you want to know as much as possible about the people you'll be living with, right? Make a list of questions ahead of time, and get them answered.
• Answer questions. Be as honest as possible with potential roommates and put your best foot forward.
• Don't expect that your new roommate will be your new best friend as well. While the two of you may, indeed, become good friends, it isn't a prerequisite for sharing an apartment.
• Be prepared to compromise. Sharing an apartment or house with someone else usually requires some adjustment. Chances are you can no longer have your friends over all night every night, watch whatever you want on the living room TV, or let the dishes sit for weeks.

After you decide to share a room with someone, you'd better think about it:

Do you want or need to live with a roommate? What are the pros and cons of having a roommate? What should you consider when looking for a roommate? And what issues should you get settled before you move in?

I acknowledge the fact that matching thousands of first year and transfer students together to share small residence hall rooms is not an easy task.

*  Whether you're rooming with your best friend or a virtual stranger, a roommate agreement is a must. It will arrange up front who is reponsible for what and how roommate disputes (and there will be some) will be settled.

 Carol is looking for a place to go... and I don't know why...

I have great news for you!!

Me and Carol have been trying to be good friends for one day and we simply realized that it won't work... It's a pity

I've said that before but I'm going to repeat: How come a person like this is released into society!

Well... last night she came to me and said she was sorry about everything that have happened... and she said she will star looking for someone else to share a room with. Isn't that amazing???

I told Carol about all the things that were upseting me about her these days. We had a serious talk and decided to try again to be friends, she even gave me some snickers - my favorites! I just hope this will last...

Shit!

The stupid roomate took my ground beef and gave it to her cat! She is so unpleasant for doing that!

How come a person like this is released into society!

Yesterday I left a pack of cookies in my desk and Carol ate all of it! I can't believe she did it without asking me! You know when you're comming home hungry and you remember that's something delicious for you to eat, when you get there, it's gone... Frustrating, you may think I'm selfish, but I don't like to share my food...

Hi! I'm Doris and  I wanna welcome everybody to my blog! I'm a freshmen in the ASU and I've been sharing a room with this girl named Caroline. She seems to be very nice, but I don't know much about her yet... Hey! I hope you like this, be free to post comments,ok? Kiss!
