One of my friends came to live with me and she disliked a lot my flat because it was very old, so, the girl that lived with me, my friend and me decided looking for a flat, such a great idea!!! It was horrible. In that year Zaragoza (the city where I lived) had the EXPO, and everithing was full, you can only rent flats for weeks and the prices were huge. So, before made a hundred calls, visited many flats and lose so much time we didn´t find any good flat, finally we stayed in our first flat.
In spite of having internet (we were still "stolen" it), my technological problems suddenly appeared. On my first month my personal computer broke down and I needed it everyday because that year I had to deliver, at least, 3 projects per week. As a result I had to go to my university in order to made my projects there; it wasn't so far from my house ( 15 minutes more or less), but the main problem was that the computers hadn't got any sistem to write a project. There were mac, but I don't mind I am sure that mac have a program like word in PC. In my university it wasn't installed and I can't write good ,I had to make my project in notepad, it was horrible, every project was like a punishment for me. But that isn't all, I had to deliver my projects in paper, so I needed to pint them; well, the reprographics of my university only was open in the mornings, and I did my works in afternoons because in the mornings I had classes. As a result I went to the university in the afternoon in order to write my projects andneeded to got up early to print them before class.
When finally my computer was fix I couldn't believe it!!! I think that that weeks were the worst 4 weeks of my degree.

My first year
It was the first time I was going to live without my parents, so I wanted to live in an students residence. However, it was impossible, so I started to look for a shared flat. The first thing you think about when you are looking for a flat is the localization and the price; nevertheless that are not just the things you have to be aware to.
Based on my experience, it´s important to look for a big water kettle, because if not, maybe you have to have a shower with a cold water, like me. Our water kettle was so small that only had hot water for one shower each eight hours (wihout take in to acount the hot water to wash the dishes), and we was 3 persons living in the house, so, only one had hot water.
Another important thing is the fridge. In your house there isn´t no problems, your mum makes everything and you don´t mind about the fridge. However, when you share 50 cm2 with 3 persons you start to mind it.
One of the most important things to the free time is the TV, you may be thinking: who rent a flat without tv?? Is that possible?? yes, it`s possible, we had to ask for one to our hoseholder because in the flat we hadn´t got one.
But all of this hasn´t got importance if you compare it with have internet. Nowadays that`s the main thing you need; you use it for everything you can imagine, and in our house we hadn´t got it. The problem was that we couldn´t pay for it because in the flat we hadn´t a telephone capture, so, everyday we took our personal computers and walked around the flat looking for a unsecured wireless, because we needed it to make presentations, to look for information, to send works to the professors,....for everything.
One year later we were an experiment hackers in that way jajaja, we found an unsecured wireless called THOMSON, and our lifes were easier then.
