coming attractions

This whole transition thing is really weird for me. I’ve been looking forward to moving for some time now – and it’s done. It’s very very very very odd. I’ve heard nothing but bad news about one of my roommates. I came into my new room yesterday morning and there was all this crap on the floor. Think of all the gross things you can find on one’s floor and there they were… the only thing that I didn’t see were dirty under-pants.
So this guy is supposed to be really nice, but I guess too nice. I honestly don’t know what to think, I’ve been told so much about him, that I actually have a predisposition against him.

What bothers me most is the fact that everybody is talking crap about this guy, and he’s not here to defend himself. So, after hearing this same “oh, you’re rooming with THAT guy” senerio for the twentieth time I finally spoke up. “does this guy know that you guys think this about him?”

The guy turns to me and says, “Yeah, I tell him all the time, “You’re a big dumb animal!”

All of this is churning in my head, so I don’t really know what to think…only time will tell.

It is good that you stuck up for the guy and asked if anyone had said these things to his face. Maybe if people set the bar a bit higher, expected better socialization out of him, encouraged him when he acted better socially, he would start to do better socially. Sounds like he might get kudos for being awful. And kudos are kudos. If you can't get 'em for being good, you might as well get 'em for being awful.

So Tim,
Now that it has been a few days, How is it going with the roommate? Is he as bad as everyone told you?
