Stress

Today was another stressful day. The people at the bank didn't know what to tell me about money and I tried the UA study abroad people for some advice on things and their response was, "oh um the lady who could help you is working on a project until next Thursday. Perhaps you can try back then?" Really? Really...I had one question and you couldn't help me??

I did however get the phone situation straightened out. I will be getting an Italian SIM card which will go in my phone and I'll purchase prepaid stuff over there. So, I will be able to call the US and text (and also call within Italy) and i'll just used it until my prepaid stuff runs out. My parents are going to get something through t-mobile which allows them to text me and call me. However, I do not encourage anyone reading this to call or text me because it will potentially cost you a good bit if you do not have an international plan. Tomorrow I plan to check on AT&T's international stuff (e.g. if I text someone with an AT&T phone, how much will it cost them). So, once again if you want to talk to me pleeeeeease just email me (gmail or bamamail). I plan to check both of them regularly! Facebook will also be good...or you can comment on the blog and I will answer you!! :)
