Hello hello!

Is anybody else having problems with the Comments pages, or is that just one MORE side effect of our horrible 'new' internet? To make a long story short, it went down again (for two days) and when they finally fixed it, they did so by replacing the entire main hard drive. So whatever effects THAT has, I don't know, but it seems to mean that web pages load (MUCH) slower, that I get randomly kicked off of MSN once in a while, and most importantly: that our router doesn't work. This means that only ONE of us can be on the internet at a time, and that blows. Especially for me, because when I get 'reconnected', it takes around 45 minutes before my computer 'realizes' that the connection is back. It usually takes around 5 minutes. One MORE lovely side effect... any ideas from you computer people out there?

Anyway, not so much to say... it's Friday, so I had translating class, and it once again went very well, because the translation was Dutch to English. However, for Wednesday and Friday of this coming week we have the longest one yet... it's British-style old-fashioned English and it has to be translated to Dutch. Wish me luck... any volunteers to proofread?... ;)

Anyway, because of the internet thing I won't be online nearly as much as usual, and I have plans tonight and tomorrow with friends anyway, so don't worry, I'm not dead - just temporarily unreachable. :) Except via SMS... I do still have a reasonably-functioning mobieltje...

Talk to you guys later!
