Wow. Snow. Originally from New York, a snow storm like our recent 'Snowpocalypse' doesn't really phase me, but the city of Washington, D.C. really didn't know what hit them. Coming from a boarding school in upstate CT, I have never had ONE snow day in my life because everyone lived at school, even the teachers. So having a week off really excited me.
Until I met a friend named Cabin Fever.
Cabin Fever and I went a little crazy this past week, having absolutely nothing to do. Of course nothing was ever on TV, but that is where my computer and I became besties. I thought we were close before, but now I know we've taken our relationship to another level. For a week straight I actually visited the websites on my homepage and READ the articles, instead of just checking my facebook, e-mail, and gilt.com. I really delved into what the internet offers, and yes read many blog posts, to the point where my roommates kept stumbling upon me in my bed, for hours, while on blogger and asked "Ew why are you on myspace?" I realized that being stuck inside of my apt for more than 48 hrs straight really bites the big one, but if I didn't have my computer (not so much my computer, but the Internet) I really don't know what I would have done. It made me think what did the generations before us to when they were hangin' with Cabin Fever? And was whatever they were doing more beneficial than my week playdate with the internet? I really don't know, but it makes me think...
