Movin' on Down
I've made a life altering decision. I just got off the telephone with Sunflower Broadband, and I've disconnected my service. No, this doesn't sound like a big deal, but it kind of is to me.
This semester I'm taking a class called Pharmacy Management. Talking about money makes me squirm, and this class has really been challenging for me. One of our assignments was to find out where we're spending money and make a personal budget. Not surprizingly, I've been spending a lot on "crap I don't need". Time to cut corners. The obvious choice was for me to lose the cable and internet. I can use internet on campus and watch DVDs or network, or I dunno, read a freakin' book instead of watching cable TV. I really think it will be a great thing for me, although it stings right now. I've been too spoiled for too long.
Bottom line: I will still update my blog, although perhaps not as frequently. And don't be upset with me if I don't return emails as quickly.

Yeah, I don't so much miss the cable TV but I definitely feel the pain of not having easy access to internet.

It is criminal that you can't get broadband without either getting a phone line bill or a cable bill. I would pay 20 or 30 bucks a month for internet, but I also have to either have phone service (extra), or cable tv (extra). I hate that.

I totally know what you mean. Originally, I was just going to ditch the tele and keep the net. Sunflower wanted to charge me an additional $10 for "keeping the line open" with out cable TV. Um, is that really necessary? I don't get it, but I think THAT's criminal.
