First time homebuy tax credit and roommates

I bought a house in 2009 and have since gotten a roommate to help with expenses. I still live in the house and my roommate (currently my sister) pays me for a bedroom. Is this considered "converting to a rental property"? Or is this still considered my "primary residence" since I live in the home? Do I file the income from the renter? Thanks.
