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?]

Err, is there some sort of international student support office where you can find help finding a SANE bank, one that isn't asking for almost $4000?
