I have 2-3 options:
1) get a single in our house.
Pros: familiar environment, 10 minutes to class, 10 minutes to Walgreens. And I do have friends here, like Alex, and Kim, and people are agreeable. SINGLE. (my music (or lack thereof), my flail-space)
Cons: I dunno. I've already been classified here. Maybe it's optimistic of me to think that moving might be better, but I'll potentiall be very reclusive.
2) live with Joanne and her friends at Shoreland.
Pros: rooming with cool people who are very open and cool. You know, someone I can actually talk to in the room, and who will probably have similar classes as I do. We'd probably get one of the big suites with kitchen and everything. Very close to the #6 to go downtown and 5 minutes from Walgreens. Branching out, new place. Also, they don't close for winter and spring break, so I can presumably save some $$, at least for spring break.
Cons: half an hour to walk to class, 15 minutes if I go by bus and then walk. Makes getting back to dorm difficult. (can't be as impulsive about things, esp. clubs. Lots of time wasted in travel) Also, it might be too intense, and good friends will start to hate each other. Also farther from Yuan Jun Su, and since I'd planned out storing all my stuff there...
3) live in apartment, perhaps closer to campus
just very last-moment idea. Involves a lot of hassle, but it would involve living with friends, without the hassle of disaggreable people in the house. Probably too late to do anything, anyway.
I dunno. I'd originally planned the single, and had been looking forward to it (I've even picked which one I want: #426). But now, the prospect of living with friends and people that I like/respect is also very enticing. It'll also allow me to wean myself off of the dining hall and get used to transportation, etc, especially if I'll be living off-campus 3rd year. At the same time, I think I'd really miss the friends I have in this building and the habits that I've established, and our RHs who are so incredibly sweet and nice. Our house has lots of money and always go on fun trips.
I guess it really boils down to how much I want to be comfortably alone or intensely with friends. Whether I want to change.

Yeah I'm thinking about leaving Pierce too.
BJ is massively pretty but.. hmm.
Shoreland is nice, but the single is nice too.
How's Broadview? you get the single and the chance to mature and manage time.
As for the apartment, I'm looking into a studio in the one on 55th next to Walgreen's as well. C'est la vie! AHHHH!
