No internets for a week? Kill me, please.
I moved into my new place yesterday. We won't have our internet connection set up until the 13th. I'm just going to go home and curl up into the fetal position and cry until then.

1. move out of the dorm?
I can see how you college folk would have a hard time being unconnected. Guess you'll have to read or play cards. ;)

8. ah, just what you had described in the past
made me think that you did.


I forget sometimes that a lot of folks use many other options than the dorm - cheaper, more flexible, etc. I only lived in one for a year, and then I transferred to another school and lived in a group house with a bunch of grad students. My neighbor's sons lived at home for most of their college years - it was a lot cheaper.

2. I just did two months without...
Read a fucking book. Download a bunch of ebooks about PHP, MySQL, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash, ect. You know, cool stuff that will get you laid.

It was actually a really good thing. The Internet makes me up-tight. Wanker-Fucktard-dipshit... <-- see, it makes me angry>

But I'll feel so out of touch with the world, haha.

I'll be hitting up the library soon though.

9. You could dialup till then?
Get AOL for like 30 days free, and cancel it before the time is up, and just suffer through dialup till you get your connection set up.

13. I was almost 3 months without the internet.
The first two weeks were hard, after that it got better.

I found other things to do.
