You're like my family, and I love you; but...

I've lived with you all for eight whole months and gone to class with plenty of you. Its been a great year and now that exams are making us buckle down, I feel that it would be beneficial if we took a break from each other. Going on a diet if you will, not doing the things that I normally would be doing, however still seeing you. I need a break from all the loudness that you bring, even though it is twenty-two hour quiet hours. Please respect them, I understand that I can be loud, however if you come up to me and tell me to be quiet, then usually I will do so. Don't all come into a small room, talking loudly which acoustically doesn't help the "quiet" part of the quiet hours that are in place, whilst I'm studying and expect me to be in a good mood because you have unterrupted me.

Don't forget that I love you all, but the more you talk loudly, the more I cannot wait to be out of here. No offense to anyone.
