This Sucks

While I realize that many of you will not have much interest in reading this, and it will probably invoke some "who cares" faces out of many of you reading it, it's pretty much what's going on with me right now and I need to blow off some steam about it.
To the untrained eye, I have the perfect dorm room this year. The treasured "5 man room" (even the alumni came in and told us it was the best room in the school), the best shower, and I even got all the roommmates I had requested the year before (+ one I had in freshman year and created many social complications- but I can get past that). But if you spent ten minutes in there with everyone together, you would see things are not as good as they would appear. That something the Rabbis have trouble with. But we'll get to that later.
The thing is, one of the people on that "request list" is not quite the same person he was a year ago. Maybe that's just how I see it since I didn't spend a ton of time with him last year, maybe he actually did get worse. But he's definetly got plans for his life that would differ with the yeshiva's more than a little. For those yeshivish readers, he would be called "off the derech". But that's not to say he's a mean person. A little...forceful maybe, but all in all, definetly a nice guy. Even though every other word he utters is a curse word as bad as they come, and although the things he discusses are not very "neshoma enriching", he's still not a mean person. He has however, practically admitted to us that he doesn't believe in God, and never goes to davening.
Do I care about all this? A little, not enough to really do anything about it.
But there's another guy (one I didn't request) who may believe in God, but is half the time a total jerk, and the other time an awesome person. This one baffles me. He plays the worst type of rap music on the radio in our room 24/7 (or did, until the radio was confiscated) but recieves dvar torah's once a week from his father, which he graciously forwards to me. I can't stand him when he's being a jerk, but when he's in a nice mood, he's great. Him and the other guy I talked about are great friends and both love the room.
That leaves me and two other people. We're the "Jewish" half of the room. That basically means we come to davening, don't mouth off to the rabbeim, and don't have goyish friends (as opposed to the other two). And we didn't really enjoy the influence of the other two for the first four months or so. We were worried we would be like them by the end of the year. Meanwhile another friend of mine desperatly wants to switch out of his two man room because he can't stand his roommate, and was pushing for a room switch. Things all got really complicated, with vast plans of who did and didn't want to room with who, and in the end one of the three jewish guys from my room went to the Rabbi. He told them he didn't like their influence and wanted a change. He also told them that me and the other jewish guy wanted the same thing (which was true- but to an extent). So the two of us got pulled out of class and talked to by the rabbi about all this. We didn't snitch. The Rabbi told us first that we were not going to snitch to him and nothing we told him would get them in trouble. Okay. So he asked us if they were doing certain things, all of which they were. Then we discussed what the change would be. The two guys definetly did not want to leave the room (one dropped in right before the meeting and told the rabbi that) but the rabbi decided that if they're going to be a bad influence, they're going to have to leave. We said okay. That night, the rabbi broke the news to the two roommates who would be forced out of the room. They did not take it very well. For the first two days not much was said between us. But after a while, the jerk started accusing me of snitching (an accusation that still is going on) and the other one said he didn't trust me but otherwise has made his peace. (the plan called for him to get his own room)
Things have died down a little, but basically I wound up with most of the blame, since I'm kind of the goody goody in our room. Things were much more serious a while ago, but the resentment can still be felt for sure. No switch has actually happened yet (the rabbeim take forever to do anything) but things might move smoother now that someone was expelled (extra space). Sounds cruel, but is very true.
Thanks for reading Dovid Safir.
