They have the internet on computers now?

Well, it took me a full week but I finally have the internet at home. I had to pay $100 to have my modem professionaly "installed" (i.e. plugged in) but hey that's what happens when you go with a small ass backwards compnay. All things considered, it's worth it since these guys come out to $15 a month cheaper than Videotron (after tax) for the same service. It's so nice to finally be able to vegetate in front of my computer instead of enjoying the outside world just like I did in Montreal.

Everyone in Lennoxville and in Sherbrooke is really nice, just really really french. I wish I could say that I've taken the time to get to know a few people around here and expose myself to the local culture but most of my time has been spent setting up my apartment or running around buying stuff for my apartment. That and I snuck back into Montreal for a bit when nobody was looking. I'll be doing it again next weekend, but only because I have to go get some x-rays.

Finally, I would just like to boast that I have the best cell phone plan in the world. Rogers will quite literally give you anything you want if you threaten to leave. True, my reception is not great out here, but I just couldn't say no to what they offered. 200 daytime, unlimited evenings, free caller ID, 100 free long distance minutes, all for $20.00 a month. Plus they gave me the V551 for $50.00. Honestly how could I say no?
