How to ruin my life in one minute

Ok, so I was perfectly happy curled up in bed, reading a good book and crunching on a bag of Kornets, unwinding after a stressful day. How was I to know that in a few minutes I would be cursing and crying my eyes out, all thought of relaxation forgotten?

I would actually still be cursing now, in type, if it weren't for the fact that my mom really dislikes it, and she has a high probability of coming across this.

You're all probably wondering what kind of tragic problem I have now. It's not that I failed a major exam, or lost a treasured possession, or got grounded forever. It's actually much worse.

My dad, without even telling me first, invited a girl from CHINA to stay in my room with me FOR A WHOLE MONTH. There are many things very wrong with this arrangement. First, I have never seen nor corresponded with this girl, ever. Second, she's a genuine Chinese from China, which means she can probably speak about five words of English and, needless to say, will not be enjoyable to chat with. Third, it is a known fact around the house that I absolutely LOVE time on my own. Fourth, it is also a known fact that I can only ever concentrate on studying in my room, alone. And with accounting and statistics this year as part of my course workload, I need that study time more than ever. Fifth, this is a MAJOR INVASION OF PRIVACY. Sixth, she, this foreigner I don't even know, will be sleeping on my bed with me. How many times has anyone had a complete stranger sleep in their beds with them?! Seventh, she will have full access to ALL OF MY STUFF, from my jewelry, to my books, my clothes, my shoes, my CDs and DVDs, everything. She will also be using my toilet bowl, for God's sake. Eighth, I am not particularly interested in entertaining guests after hectic days in school. I barely have any time for myself now, being kept extremely busy by our dear professors, and now this limited time is about to be reduced to no time at all.

I could actually go on up to a hundred, but then I'll never get this done. I just want to wake up and realize this was all a dream, but dreams aren't even this bad.

Dad, if you're reading this, which I doubt, I still love you and I'm definitely forgiving you for ruining my life (sorry, just had to say that), but please don't think that I'll go out of my way to be friends with this girl. And I just hope that next time, when you make decisions that affect me, you tell me about it first, because it's really highly unfair to me otherwise.

Actually, it's highly unfair of me to hate China girl just for accepting an invitation, but I can't help it. It's only natural for any human being to detest an unwanted intruder, after all. I can't just smile and try to be best friends with this person, right? I'm sure Mother Teresa would, but I'm not her. I'm not evil, either. Just human. Imperfect. And fully justified to be angry at this unfortunate development.

Anyway, I'm going to bed. Maybe sleep can make me forget about my woes, if only for a short while.

    I almost never leave a response, however i did some searching and wound up here "How to ruin my life in one minute".
    And I do have a couple of questions for you if you usually do not mind.
    Is it just me or does it look like some of
    these remarks appear as if they are written by brain dead
    folks? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online social sites, I'd like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Could you list of the complete urls of your shared sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

    I do agree with all of the ideas you've offered to your post. They are really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very brief for novices. May you please prolong them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.
