FINALLY after spending the entire summer searching for a place... I have finally found a place to live!! It's REALLY cute, and the girl that I'll be sharing the piso with is REALLY sweet. She's been really helpful already, and I'm really excited to live with her!
The location seems great (I don't really know the city, so I guess I can't be 100% sure... haha) It's only like a 10 minute walk to where I'll be working, and only 5 minutes from the main Plaza Mayor. Oh, and it looks like there's a beauty parlor right up the street... in case I want to get my hair done!! haha
The apartment itself is really cute. It seems a little small, but since I'll be living out of a suitcase, how much space could I need? Hopefully after I move in, I'll have pictures to post...

Pre-Trip Set Backs
So, I haven't even left the country yet, and I'm already having a crisis.
Most people know my original plan was to take my puppy (Chandler, a yorkie) to Spain with me. I have all of his paperwork and vet stuff taken care of, and I even got a place reserved for him on the plane so he can ride in the cabin.
HOWEVER, I've been doing some research, and I found out there's some disease in Spain that's just awful for dogs. It's transmitted through sand fleas and mosquitoes, and there's no vaccine, treatment, or cure. Now, I know there's only like a 5% chance Chandler will get it, and if I use the flea collars and the drop things it'll be even less of a chance, but even a .0001% chance is enough to worry me.
Besides, I'm thinking not taking him may just be easier on me. I won't have to worry about boarding him if I want to travel... and finding a place to live that allows dogs has been a nightmare (even though I've found a few places, they're pretty far from campus and more expensive).
So needless to say, I'm probably not going to bring the little guy along. It's sad... but, I think it'll be better for both of us.
