I'm about to live on an even more restricted budget than before. I signed the papers to live in this apartment for another year, and it's $100 more per month now.

The average human can't survive on what I earn, but I get very creative.

The housing company phoned me to get the signature. I was sitting in the middle of a conversation with 3 other people as they called me. I had to decide on the spot whether to renew it or not.

I have no plans or realistic alternatives to move anywhere else right now. I can't get funding from the government to move elsewhere unless there's a job offer.

But in terms of my happiness, I'd rather be somewhere else than Oslo.
