4 Days Without Internet And I am Back
Some of you who follow me on noisecash already know that I didn't have internet access at home for a few days based on my posts. And yesterday, we just got our access back to it. In this blog, I will be sharing with you my struggles of not having the internet as a student who attends online class and a digital nomad.
We do have our own internet at home and we are very privileged to have it. Our internet provider is Converge and we lost access due to our bills but my brother paid it the day after we lost access. We gained access again the following day and our internet lives got back to normal. But suddenly, the day after we got back our internet access, our wifi didn't have connection. It went for four days even though we paid already. It was difficult for us because we rely most of our lives on the internet. My siblings and I had to go to my aunt's house for 4 days because of it.
There are struggles of not having internet access for me as a student and as a digital nomad. Since I am busy during the day with school, I allot my extra time at night to publish articles here in readcash. I didn't have the time to write and post on both platforms ever since I went to my aunt's place to have internet access. It's because we just have limited time. Although no one stays at their house during the day because they are busy with work and my cousins stay at our place. It's not like here at home that I have internet access even late at night. I had to consider them since they need to rest for the following day for their work.
The four days without internet was hard. I was super busy with acads and I had tons of exams to review. I had my exam at their place and attended some of my zoom meetings. It was difficult to focus on attending online classes at their place since it's just a small space. My siblings and cousins share their space and I can hear the show that was playing on the television. All the small things that I could just do here at home became difficult. Such as sending emails, catching up with school, and having updates.
I emailed their customer service and told me that there will be technicians that are going to our place in the next 24-48 hours. We just have to wait. But no one came. Days go by and it has become very frustrating at my end since I have a lot of deadlines. Thankfully, my brother had the time to go to their office which is an hour away from my house and raised our concern.
I have realized on the days that we didn't have access to the internet that I am privileged to have internet access unlike many students who are struggling to find their way to connect to the net. Especially the students who are less fortunate and live far away from the mainland. I also realized that my life depends on the internet for most of my activities. With this realization, I wanted to have an activity where I would live without internet access just for a day or two to be reminded of the things that I have and be grateful to the things that I have access to.
