Unexpected

My brother and his wife just announced they are expecting their fourth child... I love my family but perhaps it's time to move out so I can better focus on school.

Congratulations to your family. But yes, that sounds prudent.

[sanada_g]

Thank you.

Renji is helping me look for places. But if I don't find anything that suits my needs, I will probably just stay home but spend more time at the library.

What are you looking for?

[sanada_g]

I want a tatami room for meditating and calligraphy. And either a nice outdoor space or high enough ceilings for kendo training. Close to the main train lines I need, too.

I know it's a demanding list but there's no reason to not be picky.

[tezuka_k]

It sounds reasonable - I understand the appeal.

What is your budget?

[sanada_g]

I tried to not have too long of a list.


I haven't really considered a budget yet. But I do wonder if a roommate would help with both size demands and a reasonable budget.

[tezuka_k]

That is sensible. Are they all not-negotiable or would you be willing to compromise on some points?

As long as they are of a similar temperament and lifestyle a roommate might not be a bad idea. Maybe another martial artist would be suited best?

[sanada_g]

I'm not completely unreasonable.

True. I either need to find somewhere that is a bargain or get a roommate. I wouldn't feel right spending money otherwise when I could still stay at home.
