Truthfully, the first few days were really, really hard. Every time I was bored, I'd go to get online...but no. On Tuesday I didn't even have access to the internet, which was good. By the end of the week, I was just curious about what I was missing, but I didn't need to get online. Instead...I actually did things.
I went to the library on Monday
Spent the day soul-searching on Tuesday, including a 20 minute, bare-foot walk home when I got locked out of the condo where I was without my keys, shoes, or phone.
I finally painted my room.
My mom's homeschool class reenacted the battle of Gettysburg with squirt guns on Thursday.
I decided to learn how to tune pianos.
Basically, the week helped me learn that the internet, and computers, really need to be more of a tool than a source of entertainment in my life. I rely too much on them.
(I know this is really late...but I've been sidetracked. I'm trying to post old things today that never got posted for whatever reason)

rachael! that is a lot of time without a computer! you are awesome. i dont know if i'd be able to do that. i mean, obviously it's possible but just like you, i think it'd be really hard... i've found myself reading blogs more than i used to when i had facebook... ugh, i thought deleting my facebook would cut down my internet time, but really, i just have to work at staying off the internet and surfing the web etc etc...
ReplyDeletep.s. i laughed at the gettysburg squirt gun battle.
p.p.s. i was listening to the song you posted and it is beautiful!
