Unlimited Internet (to an extent)

So it's official. We have unlimited internet at our apartment!!! This means that we don't have to pack up our computers in backpacks, wait in the sun for a bus, sit squished on a bus sweating all the way to town, make our way down the street to our favorite coffee shop, find a seat next to a plug in (which can be difficult), pay for an expensive cup of coffee and hope the power doesn't go out and stop the internet, and cart ourselves all the way back to home again.
But don't get too excited. This does mean that we get to be on as long as we want to but we have to be on as long as possible because of slow upload and download speeds. It is nice though to read something, think it's intersting, walk to the other room, tell Stephanie about it, have a good laugh, and then return. The whole time not feeling guilty about wasting time on the internet.
This also changes things. Instead of writing blogs on a word doc and waiting till I make my way to the coffee shop to upload all of them I will be able to put them online in real time. This will mean that I won't be posting 5-10 posts at a time. That will hopefully be as good for you as it is for me.

  1. Yeah! How exciting... :-) Hopefully this will also help you feel a bit more connected during those lonely times. I can completely imagine the slow internet connection... ;-)
