    So I did my colonia renewal yesterday, and noticed something: The stamp they gave me on my passport now says "3 months" instead of "90 days" it said last time. Anyone know anything about this? Is it not a strict 90 days anymore?

    Dumb question. I went to imdb.com, searched the Hangover, and saw that the release date was in August. Confused, I looked around some more and realized that IMDB.com knew I was in Argentina and auto-adjusted the release date. Internet 1 - Jeff 0. I guess my next question should be how to delete...

    ...and that a lot of students are studying on academic scholarships ...and that some schools don't include housing in the abroad scholarship ...and that even if the student, or anyone for that matter, is rich, its pretty crappy to take advantage of someone financially. Mala onda.
