So, I am now in contact with my roommate...but not really. My roommate is super shy and she hardly talks to me. We've exchanged a few Facebook messages and one very stilted Facebook chat conversation and we've officially gotten no where. I know a little bit about her now, but we seriously need to get over this whole wierd-I-don't-know-this-person-I'll-be-living-with thing, because it's getting old. I know some people are just introverted and don't do well with new people. But I think that no matter who you are you should at least try to put effort into making a connection with your roommate. And you know what they say: to have friends you have to be a friend. Whatever. I need to know if I have to buy a fridge or not. Right now, that is my goal. See if Roomie is buying the dorm fridge or if I should.

Gah, this is just frustrating. I'm trying not to get exasperated with this, but patience is not one of my virtues. And I don't want to be mad at her, because it's not like this is her fault. I'm probably just as guilty because I have poor communication skills--it's not like I have very many friends to practice on. I just am at the end of my rope, because I don't know what to do to make my roommate feel comfortable with me! I just want answers from her and don't know how to get them. I know that I'm not the most sensitive person in the world, but I'm trying to understand where she's coming from...but I'm not shy and I'm not worried about moving onto campus or anything so I just...am at a total loss. We're just stuck.
