Some pictures when I last visited my friend in Hungary

Choosing my neighbours

I need to choose two neighbours.
I have 6 applicants for 2 flats.

The first applicants were Tom and Paula Stereoblast. My father recommended them to me, but I have some doubts. They have nice manners, but they want to leave their jobs, and start a new career as famous singers. It means they will stay home all day long, and I would hear their singing every day. No, thank you, next please!

Sarah Harddrive is a very shy person, not very sociable. I guess she wouldn't be the one who organises parties that finish at 3 in the morning. She has a good job, so I’m sure she would pay me punctually. I have some strange feeling about her, I don’t know, maybe her introvert personality is just quite unusual for me. Anyway, she got two references by previous landlords. I’m pretty sure that I want her to be my lodger!

I need to find the next person.

I met Jim. Jim has a very good job as well, I bet he would pay me the rent properly. He is a rugby player. I used to date with kind of men so I know his type. Maybe it’s just a stereotype, but I’m afraid of he would invite his friends to come over, they would get drunk and shout together in the middle of the night. They would leave their mess and then rats, mice and cockroaches would move in to my lovely, clean flat. No, please!

Harry, Harriet and Harold Happy are a new family. I don’t have any information about them. I found a lot of thing in common. They seemed happy, and they have a son  a same age like my son, oh yeah, they could play together. I’m just worried, they have an old car in bad condition. Does it mean they have no money? I need more time to decide if I want them or no. They have the chance, let’s see the others.

Bill Rates is a very nice man. In spite of that he doesn’t have  job now, but he is currently looking after one. Can I trust him and hope he will find a well-paid job?

Can I take a chance?

Kevin and Bratney are very sweet, top jobs in TV. They do their best to bring up their playful sons, but… They couldn’t get on well, they were arguing during the interview.
I don’t want to hear people arguing all the time, I don’t want them to live there.

I think I would go for Sarah, and the Happies. If one of them changes their mind, and don't want to move in, I will offer the flat to Bill.

What do I expect to achieve/learn this term?

I don't kow what kind of anwers Milagros expects.

I don't have any learning term, I'm happy with the and topics that Milagros chooses us to learn.

I just have very specific achievements in my personal life.

I've found a job, I just need to make sure, I will be the best cashier in Abercrombie&Fitch, and they'll move me up, and rise my pay! :)
The other very important goal is to find the right balance between my job and learning. Now, it doesn't work, because after my job I just can't be bothered to learn, I hope from the 27th May, I will be ok, and more energetic.

Other thing is I need to find a room. I'm thinking to move in a hostel run by nuns. It sounds crazy. I'm not pretty sure. I have some pros and contras. The very pro is the location; Kensington Square. The contra is, they close the gates on 12pm on Friday, and Saturday, the other days, they close it 11pm. So, it for me means I can't go out, or need to ask someone to sleep on their floor. Anyway, today I will see a room in Manor House, and then we will see. I just saw some rooms, where the owner expected me to pay Ł85 for a dirty roomshare. It just would worth for the good-looking French guy, called Adrien. (I'm not pretty sure how to spell it.)

Finally, I went to the open day of London College of Fashion. They offer a part-time Fashion Business course, that would be perfect for me. I just need to fill application forms, and I need to pass the IELTS. I started training for it, the writing of a graph is pretty scary.

As you can see, I have a lot of things to manage in this short time. Wish me luck to be succesful!
