Internet Freedom
Dear blog,
If you would pardon yet another lament and whiny entry on my lack of Internet connection, I would like to highlight another amazing fact that I've gained from this misery. I am no longer absolutely dependent on the Internet. This weaning off has been both a good thing and bad but I guess the balance is shifted a little towards the good. Why? Hmm...I've actually managed to do a lot of other things that I would not normally be able to do such as taking up a new sport and reading so much more books (not that I don't read when I'm online :) ). I find myself so empowered and liberated! Also, I've actually dedicated some time to my text books (shock! horror!) and perhaps I can hope for better grades this semester (oh please please...).
Bah! Theatrics aside, whilst this deprivation has been beneficial it has also left a void. I am out of touch with some of my friends...especially not being able to blog or read blogs regularly. My email replies are less than forthcoming then previously. My general knowledge as well as my current affairs knowledge are slowly ebbing with each passing day. I try to read the newspapers that I get every now and then (I have not gotten into the habit of purchasing my own papers...being so used to have one delivered to my home) and whenever I get online so that I can read the Star Online. All in the comfort of a noisy cyber cafe filled to the brim with students blasting away, or listening to music..Or in the chill and sterile environment of the school library...There are quiet moments but like I've pointed out before, nothing beats surfing in the comfort of one's own room.
Sigh... emo ranting over.
Liberated.
