Compañero de Cuarto

One of my requirements that I had for the International Director at La UR was that I had a roommate, preferably a Mexican one so I could practice my Spanish at any time I pleased. My request was granted as I have posted early. He is a doctor at a local hospital studying for a specialization in Labor Medicine. Despite being a "doctor," he is only 27. So our conversations are still comprehendible. I made it clear that that the field of medicine was definitely not my specialty, which he understood.
The downfall to all of this is that he told me today that he has to move out at the end of September because his family is in financial trouble. It's very sad to hear about the family crisis. I cannot help but to think that this revelation leaves me without a roommate with no one to talk to after I return from the university. I will manage...but will miss the roommate.
