After two weeks in Leon. Nicaragua, I continue to be boring and nerdy, but perhaps not as much as my first week. I’ve sampled the local nightlife a couple times and have even had a few conversations with the transient backpackers so my antisocial mood is lifting a bit. I’m still working hard but working and studying all the time gets to be too much and a night out here and there is probably good for my mental health.
Here are my totals after two weeks:
- UK funds: £2630 (about US$3790)
- US funds: $1175 (bank account and Paypal)
- Cash: US$15
I bought three new domain names from my Paypal account but overall my US funds went up due to a Linkworth payout and payment for an article I wrote. I actually found $25 in my backpack (which explains last week’s mystery totals) so overall, including forking over $115 for Spanish classes, I spent $180 last week. I did some research work for the hostel I’m staying at which has scored me a free week so I didn’t have to pay $42 towards accommodation which helped. So, not including the course, I’ve spent just under $10 a day so I would say I’m back on track.
It looks like I will be moving across the road to the staff housing tomorrow which, I think, means more free accommodation. I have no idea how I scored that, but I’m just going to go with it. I think that means they’ll have more work for me which will be good since it’s nice to have a lot of different things on the go so I don’t get bored with just website stuff all the time.
On to week three!
