When someone else in the residence is making annoying noise but you can't, or would rather not, confront them because they wouldn't listen, or would retaliate by criticizing you. So, you make noise (such as playing music) so you don't have to listen to them.

My roommate is academically drowning, she has three papers due in two days!
My professor for philosophy assigned summaries for five 20-page readings this Tuesday that are due today. I feel like I am academically drowning.
