Study Lounge

I'm currently in the study lounge of my dorm room looking for peace and quiet, a place where this is suppose to exist. My roommate is watching a movie, so I came here to write my paper, however I learned people use this for a hang out area.  They've cooked in here, hang out with all their friends (not studying), play games, etc.  We have a kitchen and lounge for all of this, and the study lounge is for...you guessed it studying.  Also, it's past quiet hours.  Makes it really hard to write a paper with music playing very loudly. Sucks that I can't even ask them to be quiet cause they don't speak english very well.
