you're too cool caroline. ^_^ things sound like they're going pretty smoothly! your apartment seems very pretty though, near the mountains and you can see the water!
You can type accents and what-not on a Macintosh quite easily.
First, hold down the option key and press e. It should have a yellow highlighted accent. Then press any less and it will put that letter with an accent. If you put a non-accentable (made up words, hooray!) letter in, it will leave the accent and put that latter after it. (so é become that, while ´t is that).
Option + N does the tilde, Option + U for oumlouts, and Option + I for carrots. I also just learned while typing this that Option + Delete (aka backspace) deletes the entire last word you've typed! I love Macs.
For all kinds of crazy symbols try Option + a letter, and also Shift + Option + a letter. It's how we nerdy types can use all our Greek µ's, Ω's, and ∂'s.
I hope the awesomeness continues! You are sorely missed here en Los Estados Unidos.
PS - I originally tried to write that whole thing in Spanish, but I got lazy about 1/2 way through.
thanks... :) if you had typed the whole thing in Spanish, I would have been very impressed. Perhaps you should drop out of SEAS and join the Spanish department with me? ;D
