No internet :-(

I'm sitting in the Math Building Cafe right now because of the lack of internet in my room. I called the internet people again today and she promised that the technician would call me as soon as possible to come out to my room and check the plug in. The internet company is only responsible for the connection to the building, and if it is my jack that doesn't work, it's the landlord's responsibility, or something. So, it may get a little more complicated if that is the case. Oh well, the woman today was the most helpful so far.

Also, it's funny to me that every building is a 'house'. Because in Swedish, they use 'hus' for everything. Like, I am in the Math house right now, translated directly. But when you talk to a Swede, it's easy for them to forget to use the word 'building' or something because house is so easy to translate and everything becomes a house. I love learning about little language things like that. It's so funny. It's the same for the word for teach/learn. In Swedish, it's the same word. So Swedish people are constantly saying, "He was learning me" when they mean "He was teaching me". Cute.

Anyway, I'm going to move to the library to get away from the lunch rush of people that just descended around me. Ciao.
