Gods know I've tried to be patient, considerate, and tolerant. But being kept up till 4:30, and being forced to sleep on an uncomfortable couch in the lounge, has exceeded my tolerance limits. The war against my roommate begins.

Step 1, of course, is to tell him to cut the late nights out. I'll give him plenty of reasons -- my schoolwork is suffering, my job is suffering, and three hours of sleep a night really bites -- but, if I'm any judge, he won't care.

Step 2, then, is to turn to the RA. I don't forsee anything coming of this... ah well.

Step 3 is to deliver the ultimatum -- shape up or ship out. Now, you'd think this would carry some weight, being as I'm the one who was here first and I'm the one who's inconvenienced -- but I doubt it. Moving out myself is the absolute last option I want to consider... so how do I get HIM to leave?
