Edited ~~ sorry.

short version: i'm 36 years old and i'm a student. i'm not particularly old to be a student, really, but most of the students my age are graduate students. i was a graduate student... i am a graduate... but i'm not enrolled in a graduate program (PhD level is what they are mostly concerned with) at this particular university. i'm enrolled in an undergraduate level program. and so... they will not consider me for graduate student accommodation... instead i can only be considered for undergraduate / open student accommodation. they have one hall that they say is suitable for graduates as well as undergraduates so they thought i would be alright there but...

i get teenagers banging on my door because they are playing dare truth or promise and they got dared to... etc etc... teenagers think it is fun to have friends over and they can all sit on their bed and braid each others hair, or whatever... and i'm... going slightly nutso for lack of graduate student company, honestly.

aargh.

that was the spirit of it.
