I'm right now in the middle of getting ready for school, so this will be a quick post. We honestly didn't do anything last weekend except stay at home and study. We also couldn't really go out because Saturday was the Feast of the Assumption of Mary, therefore everything was closed Sat. and Sun. It's amazing to me that most of the population is atheist and yet they close for religious holidays.
Anyhoo, A and I have been trying to find an apartment for next month and, hopefully, the whole year. People are saying that it's a renter's market right now because there are lots of decently priced apartments out there right now. We've been looking around online and we decided to go look at an apartment in Sol. It was an ideal location-right outside the metro, in the heart of the bustling business of the city. Plus, you're not far from the Prado. Well, we went to the apartment complex and were greeting by an older woman who was in little clothing and holding her chihuahua named "Blackie." This was quite a strange apartment set-up. She opened the door (the door that I was sure would lead to our apartment) and we had to go through a corridor of doors in order to get to our apartment. At first, it seemed like we would be living in an apartment with her, but we would have our own kitchen and bedroom. However, I was told this was not the case and that it was just the apartment hallway. The apartment did not look too much like the one on the internet. In fact, this one had a lot of old furnishings, which made me think I was in grandma's house. We thanked her and Blackie for their time and left.
And so begins another adventure for us. It's really hard to juggle our training with trying to find housing, but we have to stay optimistic. We only have a week and a half left of classes, but we have to finish some big projects and take an exam on grammar and phonetics. I'll post more soon!
