The postgraduate's chronicle/La crònica d'una post-graduada





1st February-18th February

I arrived to London, I didn't have a house, I've stayed for 2 weeks in Betty's place, she was so nice! I was helping her a little bit with her project and I saw how the AA works, and I have to say that I'm not convinced about it's method,...

I received some news from my former flatmate, they were supposed to leave the flat in 2 months. and Aylin, the girl who took my room when I came to Spain to finish my final project told me that she hadn't paid me the deposit and that she won't do it. Why? she said that the agency should gave me that money,.. but it wasn't the way that I did it when I joined the flat... I talked with the agency and they, of course, told me that they will not give me any money because there were still people living there and they 2 of them who were supposed to be my friends were not paying the month, as they were afraid of don't get the deposit back once they will move. So at the end,.. they let me completely alone and loosing 433pounds!!! That was a very bad time,... 3 people that I thought that were my friends and leave me alone with that,...Sad and unbelievable,....Days and people to forget,..

19th of February to 19th of March


New flat, new flatmates!!! When I arrived I immediately started to look for a flat and, this time I've been very lucky!The second flat I went to visit, I loved it!! and by chance I found my new flatmates in the office, I've found the advertisement of the flat with 3 rooms and they were 2 people looking for a flat, so,.. all together went to visit it and all of us loved it. The day after, the landlord told us that we could had it,... and we moved in the 19th of February!
I'm feeling so comfortable in my new house!!! it is just 5 minutes walk from the office and that means more time for myself,.. so I started cooking a lot and going to the swimming pool,... The only problem that we had, was with the internet connection that was not working at the beginning but at the end we've solved it and now everything is going very well.

At the end of February, my contract and my scholarship ended and I got a permanent contract! it was not easy to negotiate the new salary,.. but at the end I'm getting payed quite well,...
