Breathing Room

Jake moved out this week. Not permanently, just for the week. All incoming fraternity are required to live in the Alpha-Whatever-Whatever house for at least a week. While there, they force him to adhere to all sorts bizarre rules. Not TV, no eating in front of senior members, and worst of all no sleep. They been actually forcing him to stay awake for three consecutive days now.

Jake is a pretty irritable guy. A lot seems to annoy him, so needless to say he isn't taking this well. I came back to the dorm today in between math and arch and found him pounding his fist against the wall and shouting various obscenities. Can't say that I blame him really. The other frat members took his keys so he could not get back into the Smith but the woman at the front desk had a spare she let him use for a charge. He asked me to leave the door open every night so that he can sneak back here to sleep.

Most of the time Jake is an okay guy to live with though he does complain about a lot of things. I enjoyed being able to stay up till 4:00 in the morning, get dressed in the room instead of the bathroom, watch TV with the volume louder and other stuff but it's also nice to have him back.
