Well God Damn

[spartanbabe004]

Why is it that I can never have a good day? One that starts off that way always ends badly... So I pretty much just give up. From now on I go to work, go to class, come home and maybe eat dinner, do my homework, and go to bed. Minimal contact is best I think. There's no conflict that way. I thought living with guys would make my life drama free and

I'm really sorry things have been stressful for you lately. I think that the drama just kind of comes with the territory of being in our age group - I'm sure none of us really want to be drama kings/queens, it just sometimes ends up that way. At any rate, I'll be the first to extend the olive branch and apologize for anything I may have done to contribute to your stress. I know I sometimes rub people the wrong way, but I certainly don't mean to. Thanks for all you have done - it really is appreciated, even if I don't voice my appreciation at the time (sorry for that, too). I really hope that things will start looking up soon.

Thank you :) But you're not really what I was referring to. This whole thing with Nick just kind of blew up big. I don't really even know what to say about it, other than Matt's torn between who to believe, because obviously Nick told complete opposite stories from what everyone was saying. I've tried explaining to Matt that Nick lacks respect for others (as does Matt), because their mother never demanded it from them. I'll never forget, the summer before my freshman year at MSU, I went to dinner with him, Nick, Steve, and his mother, and was completely appalled at the things they said to her, infront of her, and the way they treated her. I'm frustrated because I don't know how I can help Nick, because yeah, he annoys the shit out of me at times, but I'm not, nor was I ever, really mad at him. I think Matt made things much worse by talking to him last night. We both know Matt is not good with words and conveying the proper feeling of a conversation. So I don't know. You and I get along much better than I had anticipated, and I

Yeah, the deal with Nick is kind of tricky. What makes it all tough is that he IS a good kid, he just needs to back off sometimes. At first I thought the same thing you did: it was just me getting my blood pressure up about nothing, then I find out that others are having the same issues that I am. I understand why Matt is torn, and I understand why he might be quicker to take Nick's side - after all, he is still just a kid, and he's his brother. In cases like this, blood does tend to run thicker than water. I don't want this to all turn into Everyone vs. Nick, but something needs to be done. To Nick's credit, he is entering into a new living arrangement and he's as old as I was my senior year of high school. Just like you said, I'm not really mad at Nick - he's a nice kid - I'm just a little irritated. I think what made last night seem like a witch hunt was that we were all together, voicing our frustrations, and feeding eachother's fires in the process. I didn't really want Matt to come back and talk to him about it, because

Here's to things getting better.

I am sorry to have contributed to the drama as well. I guess the combination of papers, school, stress, and this Nick thing pushed me to the edge. I don't dislike Nick, I just think he needs to grow up a little bit. Obviously, he has had an extremely steep learning curve these past few months, but like I said earlier, being homesick doesn't excuse lack of manners to you or anyone else. I will try to have more patience and be more understanding because I think that is what he needs right now. I understand Matt's reservations about how to handle things with Nick, but at the same time, the things we are talking about actually happened. I guess we all need to learn how to communicate better and realize that little things like a "thank you" go a long way. Don't stress out, enjoy your brother's baby shower, and have a good weekend:-)
