Living in dorms - Miku - 08-15-2012
This this the first time I ever live in a dorm. The dorm is for international students, but they allow local students live in there. Here is some problems that I'm facing. I don't speak English really well so for example when my roommate has noise bleed, the only thing I can do is ask him is he ok. So is there any tips on how to have more talking with my roommate?
Another problem is the RA ask me to help the guy next door who doesn't seems to talk to anyone. They ask me is because we both are Chinese, but I'm from HK and he's from mainland China. If you know some recant history, we threat each other badly. I talked to him before and found he has the same major as me, but his reason is getting into the major is because he is good at math. I really don't know how to help him. I'm not really social either, but I'm just forcing myself to be more social.

It's fine, take time to question them or talk with them, I think they'll understand your situation, try to work with the guy from China, I don't think he's bad with you as you said, he doesn't talk with anyone.
If you have any particular question feel free to ask.

Don't let that get you down! Try and talk to him, maybe invite him over to do a fun activity, like video games, movies etc..,
