Not even a week after they move in are they playing loud music with tons of bass at 12:30am when I’m trying to sleep. I had a long day yesterday after only getting about 2 hours of sleep max, waking up to take my Corrections exam, coming home and trying to figure out my math homework, turning around and going back to campus for math class, and then coming home for the rest of the day to work on my psychology assignment, fix dinner and try to relax all the while feeling sick as hell.
ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS SLEEP WHEN 11PM ROLLED AROUND. After getting off the phone with Alan at that point, I lied there and hoped they’d realize what time it was and turn the music off…but that didn’t happen, so I got up and turned the computer on to shoot an email over to the property manager about the issue – he’ll take care of it even if it means kicking them out; he doesn’t tolerate that crap either. Aside from that it’s been nice and peaceful around here since getting rid of all the trashy, loud people and I’d like it to stay that way.
On a side note, I sent an email inquiring about a job position on campus for next semester as a student assistant in the sociology department. I think I qualify for the position but the only thing holding me back from applying at this moment are the hours they have listed – 12p-5p M-F. Next semester I have class until 12:50 om MWF and 3:45 on TTH, so if they aren’t flexible then I’ll have to pass but I’m hoping they’d be able to work something out because after all, I am a student…and I sure would love a regular job so I didn’t have to figure out how to write about things like english saddles anymore!

I’m sorry to hear about the people next door. I know what it’s like – we dealt with neighbours playing The Killers at full-blast at 2am >_< it’s painful, I know.
Good luck with the job, hopefully they can be flexible for you

I will NEVER forget my neighbors from my own college apartment… I lived across the street from the “de facto” university frat house. The apartment was wonderful (cheap rent, great location) except for that one little detail… MANY nights I would listen to them playing music, competing to discover who had the loudest car horn, and so on. Plus there were plenty of police sirens thrown into the mix… since they would often drink and drive, or sample a variety of substances of varying levels of legality. Unfortunately, their house had a different owner than mine, so there was not a whole lot that he could do about it.
Good luck with the job! Surely they will be flexible about it… since you are a student, and they want to hire a student! How picky can they get?
