getting started

(they didn't have this song on imeem but I liked it too much to not put it up)
I haven't updated in a while so I figure I should get up to speed on what I've been up to, but I don't have a lot of time because I'm at an internet cafe. But in regards to the housing situation of the last post, I guess I was just tired of looking all the time and was just wanting to make a decision so I could finally move in some where, unpack, and just be settled. However I ended up waiting it out a little more and ended up finding a place pretty close to the city center in an old kinda crappy apartment but with great roommates. The address is C/ Atarazanas 15, Málaga, Spain if you want to google me! When I moved in it was with 4 brazilians, 1 irish girl, and 1 french girl (who has a spanish boyfriend who is over a lot.) So it was damn near 8 of us in an apartment made for 5... but I was all for having a lot of people, and it's been great getting to know so many people from different places. But the french girl left for a month vacation after my 2nd day, and one of the Brazilian girls just left to study english in Ireland on tuesday, so it´s a little more calm now. The irish girl is a little quieter and doesnt speak as much spanish, so I've mainly been hanging out with the brazilians, trying to learn a little portuguese while I'm at it...

Otherwise I've just been settling in, buying groceries and other necessities, and just trying to get to know the city I'm going to be living in! I've gone out a little at night with the roommies, and it's a little more lowkey than a lot of other cities in spain that i've been to, though there is still plenty to do.

The town I teach in, Fuengirola, has their annual Feria all this week, so I had tuesday AND friday off, and all the other days there were pretty much no students at school because their parents don´t make them go because of the feria. It's ridiculous... some of my classes had one kid. But I went on friday and it was great! Lots of beautiful cultural clothing, rides, games, dancing, bars, music... all lots of fun. I have to go now because I'm out of time, but photos to come!
