On Overcoming Trials

Dependent 

Well, I have some explaining to do. I've been off of blogging for a while but I have a really good reason as to why I was on hiatus for so long.

My computer is out of commission and it is rather hard to type out a full blog just from the screen of a iPod. A tiny screen mind you, no room for fingers I tell you.

So now I'm back! Through the work of my Rotary and school district back home! I have a a lot of thank you's that I need to pile out. They worked together to get a school issued iPad mini to my more to send to me so I could continue my work and study easier. It's a pulse that get screen is large enough for me to type from! 

It's been a rough patch for me without my dearly beloved piece of technology. It's been a learning lesson none the less. I a very tech orientated. I need it in some of huge worst ways. It's a comfort thing, that no matter how far I am from home, I can always reach the people I need to at a moments notice. I'm afraid of being severed from them, and I'm afraid of being severed from the sense of connection the internet gives me. I'm a millennial alright, I admit to this.  Durning my time away from tech I learned to distance myself and deal with my inability to connect as I had before. It was an uncomfortable lesson, but one I needed. It's not that I'm always contacting home, it's just that the option is available for me if I ever need it.

My Rotary here I Japan did try their best to help me, but a shattered screen is hard to replace when I don't have the money on hand or the right people to contact. So it will get fixed when I get home, my original panic is over with, but it was terrifying at first.  All of my photos are backed up into May counter along with all of my unwritten blog posts and all of the videos I've taken here. Losing those memories would have devastated me. Back onto topic, my Rotary here in Japan did try to help me but it was about of their power. I give them ample credit for even trying.

In the end I learned my lesson that technology will fail when you least expect it and it is best to allow yourself to go with the flow rather than fight it. That aside I also learned that backing up all me stuff on one things was a bad, bad, idea.

I thank everyone who helped to get this iPad to me.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart because I can be productive again on a level that can get stuff done again!

I'll be adding more blogs the next few days, this was just an explanation as to why I was so silent for so long...

See You Soon
