Good News

I thought I'd put my good news up here so I can remind myself not to stress out about leaving soon. The first, there are at least 2 other girl assistants in my city, and one of them will be teaching at my school (thanks facebook). The girl at my school received information from our school that said there are two "flats" for assistants. I think she got more info because she applied through the British consulate. The good part about living at the school (if I can), is that it usually costs between 0-70 euros/month. Some schools don't charge at all, and I haven't heard of anyone being charged more than 100 euros (utilities included). That sure beats the 300-500 euro apartments I found online. Since I'll only be making around 750 euros a month, I'll need to save every bit I can. If I don't have to pay a lot for housing, then I get to travel more!! The other good news is that I found a swim team online. I emailed the contact person and she said there's an adult team (well, I hope it's a team and not just open swim time) for only 130e for the year. She seemed really nice, and I would love to swim again. It's been so long and I really do miss it. Plus, being on a team would be a great way to make friends (and I'll be needing them). Apart from that, I can happily say that I have my arrete, my visa and my plane ticket. What more do I need?
