Yesterday, I was in a lot of thought,  lost in thought, and confused about the matter of leaving my present apartment and opting in for the expensive apartments out there or staying and enduring the hardship at my current apartment. It would have been a very easy decision to make if I did not have quite a lot of expenses that await me now and in the future or if I had quite a lot of money that could afford all these expenses. Aside from that, I still need money for some personal stuff too; I have been lost and don't know what action to take.

What makes staying in my present place frustrating is that I have not had water here for over a week; I have had situations up to a month of no water; and it has been a series of leaving my compound and fetching water, which is stressful and embarrassing. This has been the problem I have been facing since last year, which resulted in my head injury. I had seen a lot in this place, and remembering all that I passed through, especially with that injury, annoys me bitterly.

#### <center>Checking out a new place yesterday</center>

After class yesterday, I and a friend of mine went to check on an apartment that is closer to school compared to where I currently stay. Before we head on to the place, I had to discuss with the agent that I would like to inspect, as they do collect money for inspection, so I wanted to agree on an amount with him before he takes us to the place.

We spoke on the phone, and he said he was a little far away and that we would wait for him. Since we could not wait under the sun, I took my friend out to a restaurant close by to eat something light that I could afford, then used the opportunity to wait for the agent in the restaurant before we headed on.

The agent came around, and my friend and I went to check out the place. It is painful that I didn't take pictures when I was there; the place was giving off mixed vibes. Yeah, it was nice, but there were too many things that needed repair in the place, and it was expensive.

From what I have learned in my previous place about these caretakers, they would promise you heaven and earth, and when you moved in, they would go missing in action. I didn't want to enter such a situation again, so I took my mind off it.

##### <center>Why would I stay at my current apartment? </center>

Even with how much I don't like this place, I might end up not moving because it is stressful to move, and most of the apartments out there cost a lot more, and the difference in money can be used to solve some other minor challenges I am facing. I only hope that once the issue with water is resolved, something will not come up that would put me in such an uncomfortable situation.

I have less than a year in this school already, and by August I would be done with my final year, and by November, I would be having my convocation by God's grace.

It would have been really easy for me to move if it was something that I could easily afford without borrowing funds, and I don't want to put myself in a situation of debt while still having expenses to settle.
