The good news or the bad?

Do you want the good news or the bad first? I see a lot of hands for the good. And good it is!

I just arranged for an apartment for the year so I will be able to move out of the hostel and into an apartment! I haven´t described the hostel situation so nobody knows just how good this news really is. Every day 5 new people throw their packs onto the floor and take a bunk in a 12x12 room. The heat gets stronger every day and the room has been through a smeltering season of dirty travelers and feverishly sweaty sleepers. The fan above cannot be used due to the horrid squealing it makes as it swings back and forth but sometimes the baking oven that the building becomes after a day´s sun will push a soul to put up with even the most horrid noise. The fan´s disturbance of the peace disappears later because of the drunken revelry of party goers and returners that probably keep even you up. In the heat of the night (And some of you just started singing I bet), there is always one person that is willing to help you, he makes the fan disappear; the house party fades away; and that one person is pleased as punch to saw logs all night in the bunk above.

So now you are ready for the bad news. Due to el carnaval, I cannot move into the apartment until the end of next week. Ouch. =)
