Matthew's Journal

I've just spoken to the parental-type things again about housing, having talked to Jon and Sarah yesterday. I'm close to a decision now

Greenend: Has the advantage of being a known quantity, and being very large indeed. On the down side, it is expensive (as in, the absolute-upper-end of my budget)

Jon+Sarah: rather more uknowns here, but it seems likely that we'll be able to get somewhere that's cheaper and nearer to the vet school than greenend. I wonder whether they'll be better able to deal with a stressed finalist too. I don't know.

I guess in the end, it's down to gut feeling - there's very little to choose between the two - I don't think living with Jon+Sarah would be difficult, despite what some have said about living with a couple (and Sarah has clearly given the matter some considerable thought too). But it is an unknown, and Greenend is a very big house indeed.

I think I'm going to go with Jon and Sarah, but I think I'll sleep on it at least, and maybe see if I've changed my mind in a day or two...
