Yeah, I never knew very much about your homestay in Spain. Well, I never asked, because I was resentful that I couldn't afford to go (ha ha). Do you think you came back permanently warped in any way or did you just sort of fall back into where you were before upon return?

Definitely, tedious job + rent = bad. I think you should try to experience as much as you can while you don't have long-term obligations.
