For those of you wondering where I've been for the past few days, or rather, for those of you who haven't noticed my disappearance, let me tell you where I've been. I've been "off the grid." Which is a major exaggeration. Basically, I went without internet for a little while. This was not voluntary, mind you. (I had to wait for the internet guy come and hook it up in my apartment.) And I found out a couple things.
First, my inbox almost exploded in that time frame, as did everything else. I returned to a plethora of new emails, Facebook notifications, computer updates...you get the picture. And the whole time I was disconnected, I worried about missing a professor's email, or a friend's update, or not being able to track the textbooks coming my way. It was terrifying, but I decided to cheat and check - just once for a few minutes to make sure nothing important was missed. And I also did this while picking up some laundry. Which brings me to my next point.
I. Got. Stuff. Done. You have no idea.
I started out having nothing to do, which was completely false. I had a ton of stuff to do, like put all my stuff away, reorganize my apartment, go through school papers from last year, dust, clean, sweep, mop, and shop for groceries. Now, if I had the internet up and running, I probably would have procrastinated and watched Supernatural on loop. I got all my textbooks sorted and printed off my schedule. I did laundry and sorted my shoes. The list goes on. If the experience weren't so darn terrifying, I might just call it liberating. Because if nothing else, my apartment looks fabulous.
So all in all, it was a very productive couple of days. And today was filled with checking emails, Facebook, and watching Supernatural. So there's that. :)
