My roomates are a French woman, Portuguese man, and a Spanish guy. The French woman is a teacher and designer, the Spaniard is an engineering student and the Portuguese is a physics PhD. I think that this is going to be a great set. They are organized and all professional.
I have a little money left after paying back rent, two months deposit, and transport. I want to put all I have left toward that student loan in the United States. Again, I wish that they wouldn't haggle specifics when deferring those. Although I initialled and signed the documents they said that I missed a line, the second time they said that my social security number was wrong, and after that they said that my technical income was too much.
The reason for the hassle is roughly apparent: banks make more off overdrafts than deferrals coupled with on-time payments in the future. That could just be my conspiracy theorist mind at work.
After talking to my roommates for a while I realize what a good position I am in to be living in Spain. The becario position we auxiliares have is enough to survive with plenty of time to experience Spain. Me, on the other hand, I would prefer more work over free time.
Which is why I'm shooting out advertisements a lot this weekend. It cost about $15 total but through that I now have 14 hours weekly extra classes.
All last night and this morning I have been studying epidemiology and anatomy. Tonight I plan on calling my parents (again) to see what has changed back home. I haven't spoken to them since Thanksgiving.
I'm off to eat something, work out, and then study more. Hopefully this week I'll have more students and a clearer picture of how I will spend my holiday.
