You know, I knew that when I left home that I would be leaving my phone behind. And honestly, I was ok with that. I could handle that because I knew I had to. I didn’t want to (and trust me, I REALLY didn’t want to), but I didn’t have a choice. But seriously, when you take away my internet connection too, that’s when I have a problem. I dealt with the super slow connection in Italy because I knew it was better than nothing. And I even dealt with no internet in Switzerland because I knew that I would have it again a few days later when I got to France. But to completely and fully take away my internet, when I know that I have messages from people back home and can’t get to them... Seriously? This is not healthy for my patience. So if I don’t respond to your messages for a long period of time, know that I am longing to respond and it kills me to be so close to my computer yet so far from any communication accessibility.
But I do want to make something very clear! I did all the right steps to try and fix my own internet connection. I did not just sit here and click “refresh” on the website hoping that something would magically fix itself. I clicked random buttons, and I clicked the correct random buttons to try and fix things, cause Denis and Mike clicked those same random buttons and he couldn’t get it to work either. So this is serious ridiculousness that is out of our control.’/;[1).p[;/[‘ ß <--that was Mike.
But anyway, enough of my angry ranting about how the internet sucks. Though it has been down for about four days now, and I’ve put up with it pretty patiently for that long, but enough is enough. Though it is sad to think how dependent I’ve become on having the internet, and quick connection at that, right at my fingertips at all times. Sorry, I promise I’m seriously done ranting for now. Nothing too exciting today, though it is the first of September, which means that we have entered THE most important month of the year. You all should know why.
But since I’m sitting here right now in the student lounge, talking to Mike and Mārtiņš about how the lack of internet is awful, I just want all of you to know that it is not my fault that there has been a complete week of no recent blog posts. Because even though I have random moments of internet, I am sitting in the computer lab on campus. I am not able to switch my word documents off this laptop and onto the world wide web, which sadly isn’t hitting this part of the world. But for future blog posts, I do not plan on posting every day, because my life really isn’t that interesting. I plan on posting to catch up on week to week events, so if something special happens, I will share it with you. For example, when my life is about to explode when I have four exams on my birthday weekend, I will be sure to let you know.
And don’t worry.. I didn’t forget about you, my fellow September babies. Here are some birthday shout-outs:
Derek- September 16
Alyssa- September 24
Chelsea- September 25
P.S. Mike and Mārtiņš approve of my ranting. So you should too.
