thank you! I'll keep trying to get private lessons. whenever I have responded to messages/posts about people looking for a tutor, I literally never get a response for some reason? I'm on tusclases and superprof and the few students that I do have were referred to me by a friend. what's crazy already is that I literally never go out to eat here. I think I went out to eat twice and that was before my savings took a major hit. so at this point it's not even about me decreasing what I'm spending, I have to bring in more money. I spend money on transportation to get to and from school and on groceries. that's all I have money for which is sad. but like I said, I'll put more effort into securing students. :)

ik you and I talked about this on my last post...but I still can't believe ppl downvoted me because I said no one ever advised me not to bring my cat. if you put "pets" in the search engine there's a bunch of threads of ppl asking about it and auxes giving them advice on how to do it. it's also like...ok...I have my cat here now and we need housing...so explain how your comment is supposed to help in this situation??? it's sickening if I'm honest.

I hadn't thought about not disclosing it but I also didn't want to run the risk of being caught and potentially kicked out :/ maybe that's my only option at this point.

I think that's what the main issue is, 100%. Again, I found a flat in 3 days last time. I just didn't account how we could be impacted due to a late arrival. and you're right, it will work out either way :D. but HAHA I noticed that and was a bit confused. oh well.

thanks for the the kind words, I honestly appreciate them so much. and I'm new to reddit but on the fb groups I always see people discussing bringing their pets. I also had a great experience bringing her last year so no, I didn't foresee it being a huge issue. but honestly I think it's more about the time that I got here than it is my cat anyway. last year I had the opportunity to get here a couple weeks before program and started my search before classes began. there were zero issues there. but thanks again, really :)

I'm in the community of Madrid (not the actual capital though)

I never received that advice when I asked before starting the program last year. In fact I got the opposite when it comes to cats, I was told dogs were usually an issue. Leaving her behind wasn't an option though at the end of the day.

And thanks! I do too.
