Recently, because of water damage, I've been forced to live at my grandparents's (Is that correct? I never got that rule down.) house for a few weeks. Unfortunately, during this same period my laptop has died, the operating system on my desktop has expired, and my car has broken down. I have had more work than usual in school and difficult decisions about college to make. I've had very little opportunity to interact with my friends on Facebook or play video games, as I have been separated from my beloved computer and Xbox 360.
As a result, the vast majority of my time has been spent listening to music (The Shins at the moment, one of my all-time favorites) and reading (re-reading Harry Potter). I had forgotten just how therapeutic reading for pleasure can be, as I'd been constantly busy with reading material thrown at me by all of my classes and not had much time for reading what I wanted to. Oddly enough, I don't feel as stressed out right now as I do when I have many less things to worry about and I'm at home. I can't speak for everyone, but a break from technology has helped for the most part.
1 blog down. 7 to go.
