I'm in my last year of grad school and I seriously feel like I am being tested. Not just with coursework, but I'm having a lot of issues with my upstairs neighbor and the landlord's unwillingness to handle things. My neighbor stomps around her apartment at late hours, often preventing me from getting sleep; last Saturday, the noise was so bad I didn't get to sleep until 7:30 am. This has been going on for 2 months. Whenever I report the noise, the tenant lies to the landlords by saying that she was asleep the whole time, and they blindly believe her. At one point, they even got annoyed with me because I spoke to her directly to get her to stop. I even noticed that the landlords even lied to me twice about the source of the noise, claiming that even though she lived directly above me, that it wasn't her creating it.
This ordeal is very frustrating. There have been too many times I couldn't focus on my schoolwork because I was prevented from sleeping the night before. And it certainly doesn't feel good to be deceived.
I feel not only physically and mentally drained by all of this, but I feel very discouraged that this will continue. A lot of times I wonder what God is up to when this is happening. Why are there so many distractions coming at me, especially this noise? Why do people respond to my need for help by lying to me? How do I deal with the discouragement and disappointment? Right now I am looking for a new place to live, but I want to know how to cope in the meantime.
