rooms

i just realized that for most of the past two years, i've been lucky to share a room with someone who happens to be on a fairly different sleep schedule that me. i sleep heavy, so it doesn't matter that the guys working late come home after i'm in bed; on most nights i won't even wake up. when i do, i fall asleep again immediately. sharing a room is a great way to save money; it's not easy all the time of course. funny thing is, i had a single room for a significant amount of time in college and my parents were concerned that i was going to miss out on the important life lessons to be had from living with a roommate. well, years later, i'm still living with roommates and sharing a bedroom even...and there seem to be plenty of lessons i have yet to master.
