well what i did monday mornig is i hit the streets at 9:30 in the morning. i bought 2 papers, the mercadillo de la sierra and the segundameno paper. there were some good things in there, i even thought of moving in with someone as a roomate in the roomate wanted ads, just to get started. they are asking for like 25 to 30,000 pts a month. i went to rental agencies and not much is availible cause the students in town have taken up all the cheap small apartments. but i was able to find one. The girl who worked at the rental agency named pilar showed me a 2 bedroom apartment, centrally located, views of the monastery, washer, dish washer, heater, hot water, even an elevator in the building and fully furnished for 70,000pts a month. that actually really pricy, but i really don´t have much to choose from, it´s actually very cute and nice. the one thing that they sometimes ask you is for a pay stub of some sort, if you don´t have one you can show a bank statement that you have money, but it has to be a spanish bank. so tommorow i am going to the bank to see what i can do. I also went to an english academy in town to see what was availible. i let them know i was in the process of getting my CELTA certificate and am ready to work. the boss of the place gave me few options and told me he may have work for me in villanueva de la cañada, like 15 minutes away. so tommorow i am going to go there see what´s it´s like and call him back. he was also going to ask the women who heads up the english program in el escorial if she needed another english teacher, so we´ll see. i will keep you guys posted and let you know how it works out!!!
