It was beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful.
So beautiful it made me want to spend everything I have to get a USB stick that will connect me to the internet in the canyon.
I miss my family and friends. I miss newspaper articles that are well written and pertain to the world. I miss movies. I miss reading journal articles. I feel like the world of neuroscience has left me in the dust... literally.
I know this opportunity is beautiful in itself, and I love it, with all my heart. I just wish I could have my cake and eat it too!
So I went to the phone store to try and buy the internet stick. After almost a year of resisting it, I was proud of my decision to succumb to the interweb.
The guy at the counter says, "sorry, but I can't sell you that if you are going to use it in the canyon. The signal is not strong enough."
We had an extremely polite argument about him letting me buy it and try. If it doesn't work, I will be out the cash, not him. But, apparently, that isn't the case. He would be fined if I broke a year contract.
A little crushed... or maybe a lot. I return to the canyon tonight still nauseous from the parasites but in a remarkably good mood.
No matter how frustrated I get with life, my world in the canyon always balances itself out.
