Lack of Internet
Posted by Brenna Long
For someone who basically lives on the Internet, going home to the middle-of-no-where changes life. A lot. I can't check my e-mail, tweet, update my Facebook status, check out the news Mother Earth News, NPR or New York Times articles, or post blogs. My life is different.
But that is just it. Life is different; it's not bad. I have gone without my luxurious Internet before. When I have gone on mission trip with TFC, I didn't e-mail home. When I go to my grandparents, I had to travel to the public library that has odd hours. In Italy, Sara and I seldom ventured across the street to the Internet cafe (probably for safety reasons). And in Ghana, I had plenty of people to talk to instead of browsing online.
So for the next few weeks while I am trying to get all of the last minute wedding items together with my family, I won't really have Internet or the need for it. Don't get me wrong, I will miss it. I love finding nerdy articles about the next green invention or zipping around on social media sites.
So the plugged in journalism girl apologizes for the hit-and-miss blogging for the month of June in advance. I love you Internet and friends, but my life is full and lacking in Internet. But, I promise to fill everyone in after June.
