where to rest my indecisive head?
hi- i wanted to ask you my question as you are a psychologist, and i feel like i am going insane trying to make a decision. i know this really is not the typical type of question you get, but maybe, oh, maybe you will have some words of impartial wisdom for me? thanks!
i am having a dilemma about spaces and places. i am a med student, so peace and quiet are nice things. pleasant surroundings also important for those few, precious moments at home. i moved into a GORGEOUS loft-style apt in a cool up-and-coming revitalizing-itself kinda neighborhood. my apt has a claw-foot tub, skylights that open to the fall new england air, stainless steel apps and the most gorgeous hardwoods you will ever see. problem is: my house was sold/bought during my lease, and the new owners are pushing a lot of construction through on the 1st fl. they claim it's nearly over, and i will be starting surgery soon (hence not at home as often to bothered by it, maybe..?). but i don't know whether to move or not. i found a new loft-style apt, and it has tons of charm, character, and the building is lovely and well-maintenanced. but it is not the same. the neighborhood is also not as cool, although, it is nice enough. i have to make a decision as i am trying to study for a major licensing exam, and i have allowed this to gnaw away at me. i am at the point of screaming or tearing my hair out with all the various stresses. any thoughts? much appreciated, sorry for the length. sincerest apologies.

Don't apologize for the length, I always prefer thorough over an empty, long-winded diatribe that speaks volumes to nothing.
It sounds to me as if your milieu is the most important priority right now. Sure, you can move, but at what cost? I know the construction can be, and IS, quite maddening, but to give up your nieghborhood and all of the creature comforts that you have come to expect, may actually do more harm than good in the long run. You may rid yourself of a little noise ( not to diminish it ), but you may move and find that your new surroundings don't jibe well with your style of living, studying, etc., and totally throw the proverbial monkey-wrench into more than you could have imagined.From one who knows, NOW is not the time to find that out at the onset of licensure. Have you considered finding an alternate place of respite? The library, a friend who can let you study there while they are away, anything. If you have, then accept my apologies, my intent was not to state the obvious. If faced with the same dilemma, I would probably find an acquaintance, familiar with my situation, to stay with for awhile. Didactics first. A place you can actually call HOME is few and far bewteen these days, and finding one that suits you as suitably as you have said this one does, is almost non-existent. See if you can part company with it until completion of the construction and I'm sure you'll appreciate it more in the long run. Oh by the way....bone up on pharmacology REALLY bone up on it. Good luck. I hope I have helped.
