The past week has been a roller coaster
That is to say good things have happened despite the amount of stress Ive been experiencing lately. I am officially living in an apartment in Madrid. Finding an apartment however has been a bit of undertaking, after seeing place after place and numerous times being told Im too late and someone has taken the room I just looked at has been my reality for the past week.
Yesterday I just about broke down in the street when I got to a place I had an appointment at. I was damn near certain I was going to take it just from looking at the pics online, I even had a deposit ready to give them if I felt good about it, but fate had chosen another path for me, since by the time I got to my appointment some bitch before me saw it and left a deposit. I wanted to cry right then and there, instead I went ahead and called the woman I had met with earlier about an apartment. The place was nice but she was a little…sketchy? Thats not the right word, lets just leave it at she isn’t all that professional. The point is I was done, I was tired of riding the metro multiple times a day to just LOOK at a place and getting lost and staring at google maps for hours trying to orient myself.
I left a deposit last night, met with my wonderful Italian boy, which I will supplement deets on him in another post and proceeded to give myself an ulcer for the impending move. Lets just say its not easy moving by yourself with luggage on the metro and then moving said luggage down the street (thank god for 4 wheeled luggage). So today I bring my stuff, begrudgingly hand over more cash and took in my surroundings. I have stolen wifi which I just got to work, a tiny bedroom, and 2 other rooms that are still empty. People have been coming in and out all night and I just wish to be done and settled. My uncle keeps telling me that there is something to be learned from this, my whole experience and some of the hardships Ive had to go through, and I know he is right, its just that sometimes I think Ive been burdened a little more than others. I guess that just means Ill be a better person in the end because of it. I mean it beats being a spoiled rich girl who has everything paid for by her parents right?
