Did i say that i want to leave it all behind?

Why i should move to Karawaci:
1. Of course, it's closer to campus. Save the Rp.4000/l Pertamax my baby drinks.
2. I don't have to wake up early for my morning classes.
3. I'll know how to live on my own. It's like a practice for the future.
4. Maybe it's time to get to know Karawaci, after these years of college.
5. It'll be a change for my life. Have a second home away. Isn't that what i've always wanted?

Why i shouldn't move to Karawaci:
1. Far from my friends. I can't just start my car and drive to Runi/Bune/Rozelle (or maybe even Bangun? It's oh-so-perfect how we all live near each other xp)'s houses a second after i think i want to, and vice versa.
2. I'll need my computer and my internet connection 24/7. The one i'm about to rent doesn't have cable.
3.I'll have to live on my own.
4. I'm not familiar with Karawaci at all. What am i gonna do when the night comes and i'm alone in my room, miles away from home?!
5. A change for my life. Is that really what i want?

I went to UPH with Dinda, Adit and Adit's brother Kae today. The kids had to take care of some registration business, then we drove around to look for houses. I thought it wouldn't be taken seriously, this living-together thing. Turned out, we found a few perfect houses, made a few calls, and now we're left with this one choice. It was a three-storey townhouse in Taman Ayu, with three bedrooms (one of them is the master one, so it's bigger, i and Dinda can take it), and one for the maid. It's semi-furnished, it has air-con and a telephone line. Plus the price is reasonable, and the owner said she'd save the house for us 'til July 'cos that's when Kae and Dinda enrolls, as long as we pay the down payment ASAP.

The three of them are so excited about this, but i'm not. I'm really torn; half of me wants to try to live away from home (and Mummy) and who knows, once i'll know what's Karawaci like for more than half-a-day, i'll actually like it. Maybe i'll even meet new people who can...click with me. But the other part of me doesn't really want all those. The other part of me prefers to drive back and forth everyday, have nothing to do at home, or go to my friends' houses when i'm really bored.

It's times like these, when i wish i went to the same campus as the girls. And in this case, UPH. 'Cos really, those townhouses did look inviting! It's definitely safe, and it's got grocery stores, laundry services, restaurants, photocopy (and the whole PC rental) places, and oh yeah, there's Dixie now in Karawaci! Starbucks, Dixie..See, it would've been perfect. When i was in Adit's car, looking for houses with four rooms for rent, all i could think about was how perfect it would have been, if those four rooms were for me, Runi, Bune and Rozelle.
