Unplugged?

I've been thinking about the crazy attachment that I have to my computer ever since mine died on Tuesday. I had about 6 panic attacks that day when I wanted to go look at things, or send and e-mail or whatever and it wasn't convenient for me to do so.

Well, I have to say that I kind of like this being "unplugged" thing. I'm not truly unplugged. My phone has just about anything that I could want or need on it, but the screen is itty bitty and it's a pain to type on, and the internet is way slower than on my computer so it doesn't quite compare.

My goal for this summer is to minimize the amount of time that I spend playing around on the computer. My phone will stay in my room during the work day. This way I won't be facebooking/twittering when I should be learning - and I'll avoid it getting run over by a tractor or ATV (4 wheeler for those southerners who fuss at me...) I'm also going to check my e-mail once an evening and try to do a blog post every other day or so. But other than that I am trying to stay off. I'm going to be out in nature. I figured that I should enjoy it and if I need something to stimulate my brain I'll read.

I have no clue if I'll be able to stick to this, but we'll see. :)

I'm still having problems fathoming the fact that all my new friends are leaving. I would give just about anything to have another year with the senior hort students. I'm kicking myself for not trying harder/being more obnoxious in the beginning of the semester where I was too afraid of rejection to stick my neck out there and try to make new friends. That's what I get for assuming that people don't want to get to know other people late in their college career. I'm dumb.

For now, I'm packing and heading up to Charlotte for the weekend to spend some time with Scott before I vanish for 3 months.
