Trouble in paradise

For those of you keeping track at home, there are less than two days before I start law school. I all moved into an apartment in Iowa City, but I'm having some trouble with my connectivity.
Hoping to avoid paying for broadband, I hooked up my cell phone as a dial-up modem with my laptop. Only problem is, I'm getting zero reception in my apartment. The best laid plans of mice and men...
Anyway, blogging could be light for a while until I can get decent service. Right now I'm "borrowing" someone else's unsecured wireless signal.
