Venting For Just a Moment...

Ok, so I feel that I can vent on here because no one that I don't want to see it can. So as many of you know, I am living in Orem for the winter while I am on my semester break from BYU-I. I am rooming with a really good friend of mine from EFY, Aly, and we've been having a BLAST since I moved in. Well, we have this roommate, I'll call her Katie*. Katie likes to bring home guys to hang out with often. Now I have no problem with her hanging out with guys because we all do. My problem comes when I want to go to sleep and I am bothered by well, let's just say I've been through some interesting experiences that I never thought I would have to experience, but that requires me to wear my headphones to bed. Yep, lucky me. Now, I am not one to tell Katie what she should and shouldn't do with her life, but when it effects me to the point of not being able to do my normal routines in the mornings because I'm afraid of being walked in on, or bumping into a guy, then it's an issue.

I have no idea what to do. My other roommates and I have talked about because all of us are uncomfortable with guys spending the night in her room all the time. One of my roommates said that she would talk to Katie, but has't yet seeing that there was a guy that spent the night last night and he's still here. I know it's past noon, but it still makes me uncomfortable. I shouldn't be uncomfortable in my own apartment. That's just not how it's supposed to work. I hate that I have 2 1/2 months still to go and the feeling that this is going to go on the whole rest of the time that I am here.

WHAT DO I DO!?!?!

Yes some would just tell me to "talk to her, I'm sure she'd understand..." No I can't talk to her. We don't really get along. I don't mean that we fight and stuff, we have just never talked like roommates talk. We both have every different lifestyles and standards and so it sets us on two different levels of life, if that makes sense? Overall, I just worry that if we were to confront Katie about this issue, it would cause more issues, and nobody wants or needs that in their apartment.

Katie is also a very delicate person. She suffers from depression - not sure how severe - and it causes her to sit in her room either sleeping through the day, or watching A LOT of TV. She should be at hair school and I think she's gone like 4 times in the last month. I worry about her I do. I wish I could help her, but all I know how to do is show her kindness and that she is cared for.

So, basically I am in a very interesting situation that I can't handle anymore...then again it's just life as I know it!
