The gods of noise

Last year during finals, our upstairs neighbor gutted their entire apartment and redid it. The decibel level was insane, and of course it was impossible to study. This year, our neighbors are not doing construction, so we shoul be having a quiet and peaceful time sudying. But the gods of noise could not allow that to happen. So instead of neigbors pounding on our heads, the city decided to rip up the sidewalk in front of us and lay cables underground. Theyve been here about a week, and one of the construction guys said it should take another two weeks to finish our area. So now every morning we get awoken by the pounding of a huge tractor smashing the concrete. I am slowly going crazy.
