Well, I got the internet to work faster - I connected to a different wireless network. There are two in this building, lamancha19 and lamancha58, and until I set up the 'hierarchy' in Windows, they switched back and forth a lot and threw me offline. I get the best reception with 19, so that's what I've been using, but it's incredibly slow. I was about to go to the office and ask why, and then I thought I'd just try 58 first, and that one is much faster. The signal strength is much lower, but it's still faster. Go figure.

As for the study-abroad thing, I went to the office today and checked out everything they had. There's no Africa summer program which would really work for me since I'm not artistic and don't study environmental science (or something of the like), so I gave that up and looked at other things. There was a cool program in China which combined medicine and Mandarin Chinese, and I would have done it except they require you to already have credit in medicine, which I of course do not. So I fell back on Spain. I am NOT going to lose the Spanish that I worked so hard to learn! I've e-mailed the professors letting them know my situation to see which program they would put me in, the advanced or the intermediate. I said I'd feel silly sitting in 2000-level classes after already having done 3300 and 3700, but that I didn't feel my level at the moment was good enough to jump back in where I left off, either, because of my intensive Dutch experience. So we'll see what they say. The program costs about $4000, so it's not likely I'll be able to go anyway, but there are a lot of scholarships out there, especially for UF programs, so I'm not writing it off yet.

I've got to run downstairs for trash bags and then go to Target. I'll post later on tonight if there's something noteworthy to say. :) Ciao!
