Totally absurd and unacceptable!!! I go to a very good college in Mexico that is pretty expensive so I need financial aid to pay for it... and the stupid school has been having connection problems for the last month. As in no connection at all sometimes. I don't have classes on Friday's but today I had lot's of work so I got up bright and early to get to school at 8 and start working, and guess what... no internet!!! I could have stayed home and worked but it's a team assignment and I live to far from everyone else. This is just not right, we pay to much and it is unacceptable that this keeps happening.

I mean, we already have the problem that in Mexico our internet services suck, so we don't expect much from them... and we already have the problem that the network gets saturated because of many students online at lunch... and they have their stupid policies about no online gaming, and many pages are blocked because the consume to many resources... and they won't let use play LAN... so we already have a crappy internet as school and then this happens... this is just absurd... it's was 8 am and I had no connection at all.

I moved to a different building and I now have internet... horrible internet that won't let me open hotmail... I bet if I tried youtube would open... but hotmail, where I get all my school mail won't... how am I supposed to check for the files my teammates send me if I can't open my mail... This is just absurd...

The worst part... I just got one of those usb broadband things, don't really know what it is called outside Mexico... and my mom took it for something she needs. It costs $20 dollars a month and we only get 2Gb of downloads (and that was on discount, the student price is $25 a month and for regular people they have to buy the 1Gb, 3Gb, 5Gb or 10Gb... and the 1Gb is about $25, so it is extremely expensive), anything over that is charged extra, but it is useful in these cases... except we only have one and we both need it...

Very angry... if only I didn't have so much homework and I could play to release some anger...
