The other day, I nearly had an altercation with a res mate of mine. Luckily, one of our peers separated us. The cause of our disagreement was the remote control. I wanted to watch a certain channel, but he was refusing to give me the remote control. As a result, I tried to take it forcefully. That’s when the problem began.
In my res, he who has the remote control is king. People here have various interests in terms of what programs on tv they like to watch. Some , like my man Jabs, are soccer fanatics. And if he gets the remote first, everyone is forced to watch soccer throughoutSydney can’t get get enough of MTV Base. And there are many others who love different programs. I always try to invade the common room pretty early. That way, I can watch whatever I want. Otherwise I’ll be forced to watch something I don’t like, or go to my room and try to study. Or maybe go to the library. All of which have never been particularly appealing to me. I think I’ll take the remote control and keep it in my room. That way, I’ll have access to the tv anytime I want to.
