In all of the excitement that has come with moving to Atlanta, I have also found that there are adjustments that I have to make in order to live with two new roommates. I worked through the irritation that came when I found that my roommate Bethany and I woke up to shower before work at the same time everyday. I’ve gotten used to wiping down the stove and counters when I’ve literally never cooked in this house. I am in the process of learning to live with the television habits of my roommates. We subscribed to EXPERTsatellite, which offered us a plethora of channels and shows to choose from. I am not at all exaggerating when I say that my roommates’ and my taste in television are at opposite ends of the spectrum. I watch television for the primary purpose of being well-informed. I stick to CNN, Current, and C-SPAN. Bethany enjoys watching reruns of any types of sitcom, canned laughter and all. Susan watches only reality television, her favorite of which is Jersey Shore. It seems as though we’ve got a long road ahead of us, and we are currently exploring the idea of buying a second television.
