"It is not what other people say or do to us that defines our life ... it is our response."
Andrew is full of these quotes lately. And this one definitely registers with me because of how this weekend went. Regardless of how my roommates' quirks are going to niggle at me and frustrate me, it's the way I respond that is going to define who I am. My roommates might be frustrating sometimes - that's what roommates do, like siblings - but my response shouldn't be to complain or to lose my temper. I think it's too late in this instance, but I'm going to need a shift in my attitude for the next eight months.
