I never really realized how much I depended on the internet till now...

My internet connection broke last week and it wasn't till now, that it finally got fixed. During the week I also had lots of homework to do as well as some critical reading to do. Also, during the time of no internet, I read  some books that aren't for school.

It was fun but it also sucked a bit. By now, I'm starting to realize how much I need the internet. Need to do some research especially for school? The internet is right there to help me get started. Need to listen to some french music for fun (don't ask why, I just sometimes do it)? The internet is right there. Without it, let's just say life would be a teensy bit harder (especially school).

Also, I'll try to post regularly from now on, but it isn't a promise considering the amount of schoolwork I have and will receive in the future.

SAY NO TO SOPA

Stop Online Piracy Act

It's where, the government will shut down / sue any site that doesn't have a copy right infringement. Aka not telling where the site got its sources. Which in my view is just plain dumb, and plus won't it violate our first right as an American citizen. Our freedom of speech. 
And if Congress passes this law, millions of sites might get shut down... like yours or mine, youtube, facebook, twitter and others. It might also mean that we can go to jail for five years just for having copyright infringement.
