1) Kindness is the best way to get what you want unless it's from your roommate. She'll consider it permission to take advantage of you.
2) You might not get used to falling asleep with the lights on but you had better get used to the mask you decide to wear to avoid this. Tossing loudly and grumbling in your bed is not the universal sign for 'I can't sleep, turn off the damn light.'
3) Similarly, earphones are a very ineffective sign for 'Don't talk to me.'
4) If you really have to study, leave the room. Better yet, leave the apartment. Chances are those are the days her entire family has decided to pay a very loud visit. This is true when you are sick as well. Find somewhere else to sleep because nothing will stop her family from coming in an out of the room and laughing at you.
5) If you are saving that caffeinated bottled beverage, don't store it in the fridge even if it's with your food. She'll take it even though it's totally different than hers, and you will have trouble staying awake for your exam.
6) Get used to having only one spoon from your own set available for personal use.
7) Just let her do things her way. It's easier than trying to help her understand why it makes no sense. This is true for almost every situation. For example: when she's making hot chocolate, filling a fish tank or doing physics homework, don't bother.
Now that I've got that out there, I'll move on and stop grumbling about her.
I'll post something more creative by Friday.
