Tomorrow I am meeting Isabel in Alhaurin. I called her today to set up the appointment. She told me my Spanish was very good!! When I came I only booked 3 nights at the hostel because that's all I thought I'd need. I don't know why. Tonite is my 5th and my last. I had to change rooms. The smelly guy below me left today. The hostel has no available beds for tomorrow night, so I have to change. I spent all afternoon looking for a new hostel online. One that wasn't too far away, but nearer to the train station. Less expensive, but still with lockers and internet. I found one.
I went to dinner and was talking with the German girls and told them about my hostel. Come to find out they tried to check into the same hostel on Monday and ended up staying somewhere else. They said the lockers were really small, doors were falling off, weird people walking around, crappy beds, etc. Gross. I have too many things to live in a place like that with all these things.
They told me about another hostel around the corner that they stayed at instead. The thing is if I cancel I still have to pay for the first night. It's better than getting my stuff stolen, but probably I will cancel the second night. I may just pay the first night and move anyway before I even get there because I don't want any of my stuff taken. eek. I'm nervous.
After moving I'm getting on the bus to go to Alhaurin el Grande to meet Isabel (my contact at my school). We are going to talk and have coffee, and she said she'd help me look for places to live tomorrow!!! I'm excited. She knows of a place that rents rooms, but she doesn't know how much they are. But I have someone to help me, and a friend. Hopefully, I can have a place by monday. I'm tired of living in a hostel!!!
Tomorrow is uncertain and scary. I am really praying for a place to live. I'm so nervous with all this stuff and people around. Having my stuff taken before has put a very real, strong feel in my stomach of helplessness and fear. I just want to be in a safe environment where I can spread out.
