DD and roommate had a meeting with their RA yesterday.  They talked it out with her and agreed to be more communicative with each other, instead of letting things build up.  Later that evening, DD and roomie went out for ice cream.  DD says everything was fine, as if nothing had ever happened.  RA told them that with some of the other people on the floor she's dealing with, their problems were a breathe of fresh air to deal with.  Interesting,  Can you say, "Parents, do you know what your children are doing?"  Scary.  I am glad this has passed. 

Thanks, ladies for all your stories and input.

BTW, the campus police shot a homeless man on the roof of one of the campus buildings yesterday.  What?
