Well, I can’t stop thinking about this whole moving thing. Alas, just like when you’re thinking about breaking up a relationship, here’s a little pro-con moving list.
PRO
– No more electricity card shortage (though it’s been quite alright this week with both of my roommates buying 20Euro cards)
– No more waking up at 5am because someone turns the lights on in the hallway (though I’m sure I could put some carton over the window and eliminate the light)
– No more waking up at 5am because of the doors (they always slam close – not much you can do about it)
– No more cigarette bugs (Though Toni’ll be gone soon so that problem won’t exist anymore and the kitchen will be cleaner)
– My visitors could share my bed with me (but otherwise they could sleep on an airmattress, which wouldn’t be bad either plus they’d have a real blanket and pillows in any case)
– I’d meet new people
– More sort of living together with people and not living along side of each other
CON
– Sharing a bathroom (think dirtier, potential problems with timing)
– Less proper and orderly place
– Less convenient internet access at the new place
– Less space
– No desk (I still have to finish writing my thesis remember…)
– I’d have to move (moving is always a hassle though I don’t have that many things)
– I already do feel kind of at home in my place because it doesn’t feel like someone has lived there before)
– There’s a hot guy in the office that sells those electricity cards
– I get visitors almost every weekend so do I really need to rely on roommates for company plus we’d have more space at my current place than in a new one
– No security guard on the property like in my current place (though I’m not too worried about that but then Ballymum (=bad area) is right down the road (in both current and potential new apartments)
– Less privacy at new place
Can you believe it?! Here I was all whining about my place and now I’m actually considering staying in there because I’ve gotten used to it and let’s face it – I’m not the youngest anymore *cough* and I like having a bit of privacy, too. Ahh! Someone set my head straight, please!
