So, I have it! At last! There was a moment, though, where I was staring at my functional firefox and non-functional everything-else and blinking in utter confusion.
The cause of my frustration was this: PROXIES.
So thunderbird, aim and yahoo refused to function for me and I gave up. Pidgin users, I have joined your ranks against my will. I miss my cute little lobsters already. ;_; BUT I'M ONLINE. I'M NOT COMPLAINING TOO MUCH.
Not how I wanted to be spending my hangover hours though.
Because yes, I was hungover this morning.
We seriously got MOST OF THE HOUSE out at the pub last night. It was so funny though because we walked in and the place was almost empty for its size--it's the closest one to the Halls but all the undergrads had this rave thing they were at so it was JUST THE POSTGRADS. And the locals. Who are super sweet and fun to talk to as well. But we like, took over one corner of the pub and just drank and talked until well after 2 am. It was great fun! And then I passed out. And slept until ALMOST TEN. I was impressed with myself, since I've been up by seven every day since I've been here. I CONQUERED SLEEP! With the assistance of one required Guinness as I HADN'T HAD ONE YET and two Beamishes as they were cheaper.
Bartender 1: Pint or a glass?
Me: Always a pint.
Me: I have the HICCUPS.
Bartender 2: My dad always told me to think of the mass. You spend so much time trying to remember the mass you forget to hiccup.
Me: *spends the rest of the night attempting to remember the beginning of mass and hiccuping*
Those hiccups were killer.
I HUNG UP EVERYTHING! Before drinking myself stupid, of course. I spent a while talking to a few postgrads who are ACTUALLY FROM Ireland, which was an interesting change! Great conversations. Oh, and my "yall" is finally being noted and laughed at.
Er, think that's about it for now. Time to talk to mom via the now-functional-skype!
