Taking it day by day: me and the www...



me and the www...

For the last 14 days, I have been trying to get a computer into my room, and get internet access. It all began some time ago when a friend of mine told me how she had managed to get a PC for an amazingly low price (65€ incl. monitor) so I thought hey, why not!!!!

I waited for a couple of days so that my PC could be 'built' and after that, I had to go through the harrows of finding someone who had a car and 30 minutes to help me transport my PC! Now, if that office where I was going to pick the PC wasn't that far from the tram station, I would have asked a girlfriend of mine to accompany me - no problem, but as fate would have had it, this office is situated 20 walking minutes from the tram station! Carrying a PC+monitor would certainly have broken my back.

After calling my few friends who have cars and being turned down, I turned to one oga-oga brodah who thinks I'm the best thing since sliced bread! The dude was happy to help me out, and voila! PC got home safe and sound!

I live in a hostel, now the silly thing about that place is that the administrator's office is only open 3 times a week for a couple of hours. I sat from Thursday evening till Tuesday evening with a computer but without access to the internet. Tuesday evening, I rushed to the administrator to tell him I need a modem. The chap tells me that I need a sheet of paper showing some number/code for the modem that I am supposed to get. I tell him I don't have one, but he insists that I do...I tell him I know I what I have, and what I don't. He refers me to the main office, which is closed at this time already. Tuesday night, no internet still, sad.

Wednesday morning, I woke up early, went to the main office, got my sheet of paper with the code and rushed back to the hostel. The chap who was there looked at it then asked me if I already have the modem in my room!!!!! Halllooooooo? Would I go ask for a modem if I had one in my room???? I swallow, and just say no. The guy goes ahead to say, " Maybe the chick who used to live there before took it." oh really?????? Does that mean that I am not getting a modem or what?! The silly goat goes ahead to say, although he hasn't searched, that the modem is not there and that I have to be going to that office very often to remind him of the matter!!!!! hehehehehheeeh...Wednesday night, no internet still, sad, so sad.

Thursday midday, I go back to the admin. office, luckily I find a different chap, so I tell him about my problem, he tells me wait a minute, he goes to the cellar and guess what??? I get a modem! I am thrilled, but that is not the end of the story, I have to go to the university, get an account so that I can get log-in info - so that I can access the www. This I do on Friday, and when I get back home I fix everything sawasawa (failed a few times though lol...) then I was in the www!!

Now I am connected! 24-7! This is great :-)
