MAJOR DILEMMA #123920!!!!!

Apparently, I have trouble making big decisions, especially when I am torn between the two.

Remember how I complained about being homeless? Well, now I am torn between living in two apartments. I actually have the choice. Both are the same distance from Soda Hall. They are both three blocks within each other, so I won\’t regret any distance thing. BUT ARGH!

Pluses of Berkeley Way/Shattuck

  • cheap rent – $450/month
  • own private line
  • two more roommates – I consider it less lonely
  • Minuses of Berkeley Way/Shattuck

  • OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD!!!
  • 2 pronged outlets
  • obsessive landlord
  • non-carpet floor
  • noisy – it\’s right next to a really busy street
  • dark
  • in an not-so-secure area
  • no elevator
  • no splashing in bathroom, because it\’d leak down below
  • leaky ceiling in the foyer when it rains
  • next to fire station – imagine what would happen when ingorant, dumb freshman accidentally sets off the fire alarm by putting popcorn in a microwave for 10 minutes
  • Pluses of Francisco/Shattuck

  • a lot of space in both the living room and bedroom
  • more privacy
  • quiet building – mostly graduate students going for PHDs
  • elevator!
  • lots of light
  • available parking space
  • electric stove
  • start in July or August
  • floating furniture – we get a coffee table and a dresser
  • three prong outlet!
  • I\’ll finally get a chance to buy the room divider I always wanted…
  • Minuses of Francisco/Shattuck
