okay. i think i have figured out this internet situation.

there's an internet cafe with an enormous bank of beautiful, new-ish computers, all of which use linux and firefox and other wonderful things. i can bring my laptop here and connect, and i can pay a monthly fee. it's a little high, but still cheaper overall than getting an internet key and paying for a plan, so i'm actually saving money this way. the only downside is carting my laptop around, but it's a price i'm far more than willing to pay at this point. hooray. :)

my contemporary history of europe class ends MARCH 4TH. this is ridiculousness. it's also almost three weeks earlier than the department says module one ends, but i'm not complaining. i only have six more classes i need to attend, an enormous amount of reading i should do, a terrifying oral exam to complete, and then another class down! in two weeks i'll already have eight credits to send back to MHC.

IN THEORY. according to the unibo department of arts & humanities schedule:
my first half of anthropology ends by march 21st. it will probably end beforehand, but it HAS to end by that day.
my theater class ends around april 22nd, and the exam will be on the last day of class, so that's easy.
i'm switching my second half of anthropology to a philosophy of music course that starts march 3rd, so it should also end in late april.

provided that exams don't run until the end of time (which shouldn't be a problem because i plan on taking everything right away), i should be done before may even begins.

sorry this post is really uninteresting. today is a day for BUSINESS!
