I almost forgot... I wanted to briefly explain my living situation. I got the pimped out pad, by the way, and many of my fellow aspiranted have expressed some jealousy. My family has two parents and four children my age under the same roof. All six are university educated, on in the proces of it... astonishing by any yardstick. There are three bedrooms, a front room, a dining room, with full cable tv, and a kitchen. I have a seperate apartment behind the house with enough room for shelves, my bed, a dining room table and chairs, as well as my own bathroom with (cold) running water and a flush toilet. Now water doesn´t work all the time, and there are two leaks in my roof, but I really like my place. The concrete walls and tin roof are exaclty as I expected, but you barely notice them.

The tin roof, though is noticeable when it rains really heavily or when an iguana fall on the roof and scurries off. If I didn´t have to leave for my fukll service, I don´t think I would change anything about my current situation.
