This week began my official summer vacation. I decided this year that I wanted to be on my own and went about planning accordingly. My careful planning went awry however, as plans often do and with three days left for me to move off campus, I still didn't have a place to stay. Out of desperation, I turned to Craigslist - reasoning that if people can get murdered due to the site, I was bound to find a place to stay. I was right and, finding a room for a decent rate, I moved in. Seeing as how things ultimately panned out, I didn't expect much from the place and was ready to rough it out. It turns out though that I am comfortable here and the issues aren't something I cannot live with.
One thing not included in this awesome summer package - a connection to the World Wide Web. Asking an international student to stay away from the web however is asking for way too much and access to the web was something I was not willing to do without. So I asked one of the tenants what the others do and he told me that the others use the neighbor's wireless. So here I am, trying to find a place in the living room with a signal strong enough. Finding it brought an overpowering urge to blog about something. It turns out that my quest for "borrowing" the neighbors WiFi connection is something, hence this post.
The point - a prayer for the continued availability of the neighbors WiFi as that is what currently sustains my sanity.
