Help me - what strategy should I apply?
I'm currently staying in apartment in Seville which I share with two French students and a Spanish guy.
I have to get up at 6.45am in order to get to the archive in time while they may sleep longer. In the first two days there was some noise and the French students had friends over. Even though I'm using wax-taps I had a tough time sleeping but did not complain. It won't happen all the time I said to myself and rather told them the next day that I have to get up early etc. etc.
They agreed to lower the music and avoid laughing loudly when I tell them to stop - basically that meant that I have to get mean every night to make them stop, they were not capable to make a step by themselves.
However, I decided to do so and step out most of the evenings rather than paying them back in the morning - since that would also affect the Spanish guy who is more decent. And I avoid this kind of domestic conflicts with vivious circles.
So, this more or less works during the working week and I can live with it for another 2 weeks but today, on Friday, currently a bunch of 8 people is having a party in our apartment and there's no chance I can think of (other than buying a pump-gun in the gypsie quarter nearby) to make this stop before, say, 3AM.
I honestly don't understand why they are so unscrupulous. I mean they should know by now that I'm disturbed and could think: Well, he's gone in 2 weeks more and we stay", but no.
How would you deal with such people? And remember that now there are 8 out there and I'm alone. They're not physically aggressive but 8:1 is still an uncomfortable situation.

Maybe I could use them on the French guys.
