No Wifi

I have no Internet here. I am writing blog after blog and can not post any. I am craving social media exploration and need to know what's going on. I want to write about the new beauty products on the market but have no way to research. oh what I wouldn't give for a quick google search. I never realised how heavily I relied on the Internet.

Is it me as a twenty first century girl or is it my journalistic nature? It's hard to know.

It's amazing how much the Internet aids our daily life. I find myself telling people to 'wattsap' or 'bbm' me instead of texting, which they can't. Then during phone calls concerning work I say, as I usually do, "ok just email it over to me", which I wont recieve in time. My social Callander is a complete mess I don't know who's birthday is when, what events are coming up, where and what time am I expected without Facebook. Don't even mention twitter, my finger hovers over that little blue bird symbol every time something slightly humorous happens or a random thought pops in to my head, all now long lost and forgotten. I have just realised I use twitter as a diary of my mental ness, every crazy thought or funny thing that happens, or is said...I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Tomorrow I have decided to go in search of some wifi. I know some places do have it but not many. How do people live out here without the internet? I mean in london you cant walk for five minuets without finding a hot spot. I have Been here for a week and not picked up one. Maybe that explains why everyone looks so relaxed, they all just mooch around slowly looking happy. Like they have no cares in the world, maybe its the lack of internet, without the non interrupted, constant white noise of online voices all fighting and screaming for attention and to be heard. I mean, I found it relaxing to begin with, the silence, the freedom. But now I'm pulling my hair out with worry on what I might be missing. What important emails have I not received, what deadlines are creeping up? what's going on in London, what events am I expected to attend upon my return?

This need of mine is causing arguments. My mother and I are having one right at this moment. "Why do you need the internets?" To get my emails mum, from work. "We'll they know your away" yes but no one expects that there will be no way to pick up emails now days, I may have a deadline. "Well your not there so do it when you get back" the deadline maybe Monday that will only give me a day to do it, but if I check my emails and know I have to do it I can start on it now. "Oh whatever, I don't see what difference it makes." GAHHH that's the problem people who have never used or had the Internet don't realise how debilitating it becomes without it. If no one used the Internet then all would be fine but the fact is you can not get ahead in today's society without conforming to the new way of contact, and at the moment it's all via the bloody Internet.

It's not just the wifi I am having problems with though. The reception out he in the middle of know where is playing havoc with my social life. I am finding myself so desperate to send and receive texts that I am holding my phone above my head like its Simba and jumping about in the hope to find just one single bar.

Anyway this is Michelle, in the middle of France, hoping you receive me loud and clear, over and out!
