So, a few weeks ago I switched internet plans with my provider, down to the lowest bandwidth they had available. I did this to save money because I thought it was a good idea to save a few $$!

As of a few days ago, I get a notification saying I've used up 75% of my allocated bandwith for the month. Which I thought wouldn't be an issue.

Until today, when I get online and start checking my emails.

It is the 22nd of the month, and yours truly has used up ALL OF HER FREAKING BANDWIDTH FOR THE ENTIRE FREAKING MONTH.

I am not very pleased with myself, they're charging $5 per whatever up to a maximum of $25. So I've already made peace with the fact I'm going to be getting a $25 fee on top of my bill next month. So I think I'm switching back to the previous internet plan I was on.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think I'm addicted to the internet.

My sleeping patterns are amok - it is 4am, and I'm awake. That's only because I woke up at 6PM yesterday BECAUSE I SLEPT ALL DAY. I went to bed at like 2am yesterday too...

Took DocJohn's Internet Addiction quiz (which should be taken with a grain of salt I know) and it said "Internet Addiction Likely". http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/netaddiction.htm

Yeah, I'm addicted. Now what am I going to do...

Well, I was like this at one point. Actually, when i'd go on holiday my mum would have to take me to the only internet cafe 30 mins from where we were staying just so I wouldn't climb the walls. The first couple of days without the net can be hard but I promise you, after two weeks you won't be as eager to get online. I think it's down to the availability of the internet, people tend to use it because it's easy or because they are bored.
Use this bandwidth issue as a springboard, force yourself to go out and socialise, go shopping, go to a museum, anything. You will feel better!

I find I'm on the net way too much, often most of the night and during the day if I'm not at work, I'm on my phone at work now...

So I've got to admit - I'm (TRYING) to watch my computer usage recently.

It helps that my laptop broke last week and is in for repairs.

The only place I can check my email is at my university library now! So I actually went all weekend (48+ hours!) without checking my email. And I found it to be quite... restful??

I'll admit I've been on the computer since 6pm though tonight (2 hours) but hoping to go home soon. But when you're a student and need to do schoolwork, it's BRUTAL being without constant access to a computer!

Im also addicted to Internet very much. Mainly because of the chat. Its very clear that a true good friend is difficult to find online, I dont want to enter chat sites,still somehow sometimes iam doing it eventhough after getting hurt by 2 people.
