So I hadn't realized that at some point my roommate received the roommate agreement form. I just saw it today sitting underneath some of her papers on her bedside table. I don't want to move it or alter it since she didn't say anything about it before she left and I don't want her to feel like I've violated her space or anything. And I don't even

It depends on how bad the labor was and if she's decided to breastfeed or not. If she's decided to breastfeed, then it might be a few weeks. It also depends on how close she lives to the university and whether or not they allow for a maternal leave with students.

I'd say Sunday on the inside and two more Sundays on the out.

Hey, at least you're getting to do Halloween decorations. The director of our library said 'no way, no how'... So I'm off on Halloween and wearing some of my Hot Topic stuff (from back when they carried more medieval clothes) on Monday.

Yeah, I don't know about the breast feeding thing... I know for sure that she wanted to get a small fridge so that she can store her breast milk while she's here at college, so I must assume that somehow she intends for the baby to get the milk. Her permanent home is an hour and a half away from here, so it's not an impossible commute--I know some people do it--but there's no point in living in the dorms if she's going to go back and forth. Plus, that'd be alot of time spent driving in a car. I don't know if the uni has maternal leave or not... I think not, at least for students. I know that having the baby is a university excused absence, and provided she has a doctor's signature her extended absence'll be excused, but on the other hand... she's going to have a hell of a time trying to make up a week's + work/lectures.

What's a roommate agreement form??

[commaqueen]

Essentially, it's this form that you can--and probably should--fill out in the beginning of the year with your roommate that helps you to work out whatever differences you may have in lifestyles (for instance, times when you like to go to bed/study, how loud you want your music, how neat/messy you are, stuff like that). It's not legally binding or anything like that, but it does tend to help deter arguments and tension. We were having a kind of tense time earlier this semester, due to a break down in communication (that I think was probably my fault because I was busy stressing) and thermostat issues and just various little things. We kind of had a heart to heart a couple weeks ago, and I think it's cleared up considerably, but I'll just wait to see what happens.
