This week my lifeline connecting me to the outside world has snapped: our Internet has been disconnected! The line we had was being paid for by the company of one of my now ex-flatmates. Of course now that he has moved out they will no longer extend us this courtesy.I suppose the timing has been somewhat of a blessing in disguise for me. It is amazing how much time one can waste being online when really all you should be doing is studying. I live and breathe internet & e-mail these days. It is killing me to be cut off from my digital world. Turning on the computer is almost the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do before I go to bed. It is absolute agony that I can't check if I have any new e-mails on my GMail account (just a few), my College account (even fewer), my old Uni account (about 30 messages about cheap drugs) or to see if he has left me a message (he hasn't). I miss checking the Dutch news (no world peace yet) or the BBC news (no world peace there either). I miss looking up random words and facts on Wikipedia, Google or YouTube. And of course the worst: I can't even update my blog without having to go to Uni!
For my exam results it has probably been a good thing that I have been cut off but now exam week is almost over... can somebody please, please, please reconnect me again?

Een beetje een wilfer aan het worden, Thyra? ;-)
(En omdat dit verhaal natuurlijk schreeuwt om die vraag: wie is "he"?)
He?! Interesting.... :-)
wat is in vredesnaam een "wilfer" Ron? En wat betreft die andere vraag...daar kan ik op dit moment helaas nog niet op in gaan! :-)
he??? I understand you won't say anything (sigh!)... not even a name? ;-)
Hi Audie, don't need to tell you the name. You already know it (as do you Jocelyne). Have been blabbing about this guy for ages. Yup, still the same one. The reason I can't say more though is I have no idea if it will finally go anywhere... and I think he has my blog address! :-)
