PHE4R MY CONFIGURATION SKILZ
yeah, so, i got the internet hookup in my room sorted, as they say. w00t!
that's all for now. oh, except: british banks SUCK. do you know they wanted a two thousand pound minimum balance to give an international student a checking account? TWO THOUSAND POUNDS. that is not a misprint.
because every student i know has four grand free to leave sitting around doing nothing.
[ETA: slight glitch -- i can receive e-mail, but not send it, evidently. i get the following error message: "Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: '[earthlink user name]', Server: 'smtp.earthlink.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F". any thoughts?]

Also, MORE UPDATE! What is the place you're staying in like? Have you met any nice people? Any nasty people? When do you start meeting with tutors or having classes or what?
