so technology OFFICIALLY hates me, n not just a little bit, but with a vengeance. we get 35 min internet cards and i currently have 5 min left because that's how long it took to load this page. not only that but this is the first day we've HAD internet access, and on top of everything my phone is telling me that i have 2 min left on the SIM card even though i haven't been able to call ANYONE or even get phone calls for about a week... so just so u know mom and dad, u can ask my roommate -i've tried to call about 5 times everday for the past week and a half and it won't go through, it just kicks into emergency mode and shuts down, so i can't even try ... read more
