Unplugged for 20 days 離線二十天

2010.09.21

Actually I wasn’t totally off the net for 20 days. It was just that when I first moved in to my place this Sept. I forgot to tell my landlord to arrange internet ahead of time. So after much procrastination, 20 days later, we finally got our internet going. This probably was the first time I had been offline for so long?
也不能說完全沒用網路啦,可是月初搬家時沒有跟房東講好,所以拖了又拖,搞到今天才有網路。二十天!這大概是我第一次離線這麼久吧?

To my surprise though, I was coping with it very well. I had the weekly internet fast on sundays already, so this wasn’t a dramatic change for me. I remembered I used to say “internet is like air” or “ without internet, the future is blurry”. ahahah So now that I am doing quite well off line I am actually quite glad. I still checked my emails daily this past 20 days, it was only that my time would be limited since I would either check at school or at a coffee shop. I didn’t really have the time to waste on the net. As soon as I was done with emailing and checking some of my bookmarked websites, I would be done.

其實喔,也沒有說非常不方便勒。每個禮拜天我就已經有「禁網路」的習慣了,所以現在也沒有說來的很突然。記得以前我曾說「沒有網路,簡直眼前一片渺茫」。。。哈哈或是「網路就是空氣」。現在已經完全脫離這種狀況了,我還蠻高興的。 我每天還是會去學校/咖啡廳檢查信件,但因為時間有限,所以不會像以前在網路前面看東看西。明明事情已經做完了,可是卻還不離開。

On the days without internet, I started reading more, daydreaming more (i love this) and had the chance to go out more. If it wasn’t for my roommate, I would actually consider living without it! But, anyways, it is here now. Lets see if I can remain this healthy habit of getting off the net when I am done with it.
沒有網路的這一陣子我開始有時間閱讀,做白日夢,出去走走。要不是因為室友需要網路的話我還真的考慮就乾脆不要裝網路算了。好啦,今天網路來了,看看我還能不能維持這控制網路時間的好習慣吧。
