Without computer use for five days.
I am to give up usage of computers from today through Friday because of a unit on Transcendentalism. I thought about just bullshitting the experiment, but I'm a little curious to how I would react. Besides, it will give me an excellent opportunity to catch up on my anime and reading backlog. The biggest thing I'm worrying about is feeling disconnected since I won't be able to get news every day or talk with my friends who don't live here.
Wish me luck.

A lesson well learned if you ask me!
Welcome back though. *thumbs up*
My English teacher this year is actually turning out to be one of my favorite teachers, ever.
You seem to have a somewhat good philosophy teacher, mine mostly does nothing especially when it comes to teaching us.
I like transcendentalists, why try to get more and more when you can be happy just as well or even more with just the things you have ore less.
My favourite is still Diogenes, a philosopher, who lived in a barrel and said, when Alexander asked him what he could do for him, as a philosopher he admired, Diogenes just answered that he should step aside because he was standing in front of the sun.
In reality, there's no difference in being happy surfing the internet or watching TV, or being happy with simpler things, because they both bring you happiness. Why should one be different than the other, or looked upon as better or worse?
The world would be a better place if all of these philosophical questions could be answered.
