I cannot find a place to live. This is fine, I'm great with the plan i have. I would like to have the details hammered out, but that's not how spain works. My one lead is from my "mentor." I asked her about housing and she said there is an apartment she'll visit me with that is normally rented to maestros. Good. A guide, and a possible apartment close to the school so in a somewhat central location. This is good, however...
I would really really like to live with some spaniards. Maybe 2 or 3. I want to have a group of spanish speaking close friends to hang out with. Last time i did not take full advantage of the time i was in spain. I don't want to rent an apartment by myself. I want to rent a room. This is very common in Spain. Un habitación is a room rented out in an apartment if someone needs a roommate. Or sometimes the landlord rents out all rooms individually. I'am a fan. Everything is furnished and all you have to do is hang your hat.
Two girls from finland during study abroad lived with 3 spanish guys. I visited their flat a few times and had the best time. The finnish girls knew english and were learning spanish as their 3rd language and were teaching the spanish boys english. It was a great mixing of cultures in that apartment. I would like to have an environment like that were everyone does things differently, but everyone is cool.
But these are only my plans. And normally what happens to me is when i get to an anticipated situation, nothing happens the way i thought it would. But that's how we learn and it's how you meet cool people.
