I am amazed myseh0 at how little trouble it is living with and liking two such different roommates
Their physical appearances differ gready. With small brown eyes and straight black hair to her shoulders, Julie is tall, lean, and statuesque. Pat, on the other hand, is tiny. Under five feet tall, she keeps her blonde hair short and fluffy. Looking out over a small nose, her large gray eyes are "funny looking," according to her. "They're all right if you like cats," she says grinning. These two girls also have different kinds of interests. Julie likes reading or relaxing quiedy in front of the television set. She likes talking too; she will speak to me for hours about a feature in People Magazine or about a Marx Brothers' film she watched on Channel 4 until dawn. Her voice quivers with excitement. "Just listen to this," she will say, her eyes glowing, her warm fingers pressed to my palm to hold my attention. But for Pat the outdoor life holds more interest than books or screens. At six each morning, in a bright orange sweat suit, she is jogging merrily down University Drive, crunching through leaves for her usual four miles. She swims. She plays tennis. She is a terror at paddleball, smashing shots I have to groan to return. However, the most interesting difference between them is their approach to schoolwork. Julie grows tense before an exam. At her desk a small fluorescent lamp throws a pale light on her face as she sits for hours glaring nervously at a page in her biology book . She underlines words noisily and scrawls notes to herself in the margin with a yellow felt pen. Her lips say over and over some key words she wants to memorize. Because only "A" grades satisfy her, she works tirelessly. Pat, on the contrary, takes everything easy, and exams are no exception. Sprawled on the red and white print couch, she surrounds herself with cola, corn chips, chocolate bars, apples, and salted nuts. She jabbers endlessly and jumps up every few minutes to stare out the window, to do a few sit - ups or to splash herself with spicy cologne . Without much effort or anxiety she crams enough data into her head to earn grades that keep her happy . Since I can live in harmony with my two roommates in spite of their differences , I am confident that I will be able to get a-long with most people anywhere.
