    Not this week though, maybe 23rd 15 months ago

    Maybe 23rd, but I need it this weekend.

    Well 2 years ago

    I just did it. It wasn’t too hard. It was off all Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. At first it was hard. I resorted to movies, but I got bored of those quickly so I had to look for other things to do. I went to the gym, the coffeehouse to work on college essays, and called some old friends to catch up (all 3 of which I would not have done if my computer was on.) I guess that’s what made it worth it :-)

    Well, that was almost 57 hours. I didn’t particularly enjoy it but it was tolerable. But I wasn’t extra productive – when I would have been on the computer I instead watched rubbish TV or slept.



    I'm about to start. 2 years ago

    This is a daunting prospect – no internet, no downloaded video, no games, no electric piano, no source of all knowledge… I’ve copied everything I need to know this weekend onto paper (including my list of goals to help pass the time) and I’m about to turn my computer off (it’s Friday night atm). I’ll be turning it back on on Monday morning. Hopefully I won’t die of shock, or boredom.



    I should be able to do this 2 years ago

    My boyfriend came home from travelling South-America for a month. So I certainly had better things to do than put on my computer, but….. when he was drinking coffee with some friends I could think of nothing better to do…

    sort of disapointed in myself. The next two weekends are filled with working from home and trying to make my deadlines. This will probably mean I will have to push this one forward some more!



    I should be able to do this 2 years ago

    I should be able to do this, be home and not use my computer, but I’m afraid I won’t pull it off because I’m just to afraid I’ll miss something really important (and no I have no idea what could be that important).
