I have exams but one of my housemates just won't be quiet :(

Hey,

Well I've got a really really difficult exam on Thursday I'm so scared I'm going to fail it, I've hardly had time to revise due to all the coursework, argh!

Anyway, as stated in the title, one of the people I live with has like big or mini parties almost every night and keeps me awake until 3/4am! Thing is, I want to get a good nights kip so I'll be alert for my exam at 9. I just don't know how to tell her to be quiet because I feel mean as I'm sure she's only having fun etc.

I remember once she said 'how are you?' one day to me and I said I'm really tired didn't get much sleep last night because of the noise, but she just smiled, but still obviously didn't get the message.

Anyone got any advice?? A note maybe? Thanks!

Just tell her you have exams and could she be considerate! Even crazy party animals can generally respect the upcoming exams situation.

Alternatively, go to the library!

Tell her to arrange the biggest party ever on thursday night, but until then, keep it shut.

Confront her about it all,, tell her that she is keep you awake and that you have an important exam. Failing that make a complaint about her.

Whilst she's asleep put a sock in her mouth.

You should be more assertive (or aggressive, it's justified in this situation =) ). This is your exam versus her daily partying rituals. Weigh them yourself, I'm sure you can draw some conclusions there and proceed with the appropriate actions.

Zoecb - I don't mind her being loud during the day, it's just I would like to get a good nights sleep before the exam.

Rockfan - It would be really difficult to confront her, she's always with friends, or on the phone (shouting loudly I should add) and I don't want to embarrass her in front of friends because that's a bit mean. That's why I thought a note would be more suitable on the off chance she would see it?

Reminds me of student life. So annoying at times. Just have to put your foot down.

Seriously just tell her outright - there's no point just subtley hinting. She shouldn't have a problem being quiet/going elsewhere for one night.

Find a time when she's alone and talk with her then slap her.

Seriously, she's never alone. I don't want to fall out over it but I think she should respect our house a little more.

No, ask her in person. Say you have an exam and so it's really important that you can sleep. If it's loud anyway, knock on the door and ask them to keep it down.

I don't understand why you can't ask her when other people are around?

It's just she has loads of people over and if I was to walk into her party and tell her to shush she might get annoyed or embarassed. so if i warn her in advance it might not start in first place.

If she's always with people then ask her for a word on her own, sooner rather than later, and tell her straight.

How much are you paying for your degree? Don't let her screw it up. Say that it has to be over by 1, if she doesn't like it party in town/someone else's.

Respect goes two ways - you've been v considerate, now it's her turn. I'm not even allowed music on in the daytime anymore.
