Today, my roommate decided that because she has an oral report due, she's going to scream at the top of her lungs until she loses her voice to get out of it. It's been two hours and she refuses to stop. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my roommate shouted his entire part of the conversation at the dinner table. He refuses to get his hearing checked, nor lower his voice, so now my ears hurt for the rest of the evening. FML
Today, my roommate set her extremely loud alarm clock for 5am and continued to hit the snooze button every ten minutes until 7:30. FML
Today, my roommate's extremely loud and obnoxious alarm went off six times, waking me up each time, before she finally gave up on hitting the snooze button and went back to sleep for good. FML
Today, I complained to my two roommates about housework not being done. They both put their hands over their ears and started screaming at the top of their voice. They do this pretty much whenever I say anything to them. FML
Today, I had breakfast with my roommate and he was so loud, my ears felt ready to burst. If I even suggest he needs his hearing checked, he erupts like Mt. Vesuvius. Everyone agrees, he has no "inside voice" and they don't know how to handle his near-shouting to your face either. FML
Today, as usual, my flatmate is so loud when talking face to face that my ears and head rattle. I can't say anything because how dare I suggest there's anything wrong with my roommate's hearing. Yet nobody else talks this loud. FML
Today, and all day, I was forced to listen to one of the kids in my apartment building play their recorder loudly and horribly. She started over whenever she missed a note. I was sick, was getting a migraine from it, and couldn't ask her to stop without her mom yelling at me. FML
Today I knocked on one of my roommate's door and asked her to stop vacuuming since it's was late. She started to record me and went on a tirade about how none of the girls there respect her. She has previously tried to push two girls down the stairs. Her lease isn't up for 4 more months. FML
Today, it's been five days since my roommate last talked to me. Although she's not communicating with me verbally, she's excelling at non-verbal communication: slamming doors and drawers, and watching loud videos, all while I desperately try to study. FML
Today, my housemate yelled at me because I'm "ignoring" her and it makes her feel "rejected and hated." Last week, she yelled at me for saying hello, and told me not to speak to her unless she spoke to me first, because she was "stressed out" and "can't be disturbed." I can't take her mood swings any more. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least when she's done you won't be able to hear any more of her stupid ideas for awhile... Sorry OP.

Why wouldn't she just fake it by talking in a hoarse voice rather than actually damaging her vocal chords...

You'd think she'd spend the two hours preparing for her oral report unless she's got social anxiety, which I doubt since she has no reservations about doing this. It's still early enough to put in for a change in roommate, as others have suggested. In the meantime, how about going to the library and doing your work there. Best of luck!

Perfect logic.

Why scream? All you need to do is sing along to loud 80s music for an hour. Tested and proven to blow out your voice.

grab a hand full of pepper powder and shove it down her open mouth

And speaking as a college professor ... that's probably not going to get her out of it anyway. If it was one of my students, I'd just have her do it a few days later. Stuff like that might work in high school, but not in college.

I respect professors like you. Much props for being understanding with students.

you should keep a mirror in front of her to show how horrible she looks when she screams

Doubt that is high on her list of priorities.

Or... She could just skip the class.

Or pretend she's sick and send an e-mail or make a phone call saying so. But no: clearly screaming is the most practical solution.
