A time of learning

It's almost 1.5 weeks since i arrived at Zurich. Living with a roommate is certainly not easy. Personally, it's my first time, and so there's a lot for me to adjust and learn. I was reflecting this morning, and dawned on me that both my room mate and i are actually very different in terms of personality. We have different religions, different habits, different standards of hygiene, different ways of upkeeping our room. Thus, sometimes, our differences do clash, and either i or her have to accommodate. She's a nice girl, but perhaps a little young since she's only 19....so there're lesser topics that i can relate to her with i feel.

Erlin was saying that it's better to have a room mate whom you're not so close with...so that gives lesser conflicts since you won't know her so well. But come to think of it, i beg to differ. Just like in a relationship, i personally feel my other half needs to have a personality more similar rather than different from me. Sometimes, the 'complement' thing just doesn't work all the time.

No, i'm not complaining abt my roommate. She's nice and very interesting :) And i'm contented. Just that when 2 person lives together, each of us must exercise patience, love, and know when to give and when to be firm and stick to your principles.
