Hello, online citizens!

QUESTION
Have you got internet yet?

GUESS
Making an educated guess here, and saying "yes", based on that title.

TEST
Well, I've been able to stream anime without any hiccups, I've been loading a bunch of videos, and downloading tonnes of stuff, all without a hitch... So yes, I have internet! One of the most exciting developments in my life recently, haha.

After a bunch of phone calls, and my patience being tested on several occasions, I am now back "on the line" (imaginary stickers for whoever can work out where that quote's from).

So just a quick update to say hello, I'm back, and will now hopefully be making regular posts here.

Have a great week, y'all!


Yeah, that was a bit weird to say.

Cut off from the world...

Question
Where has Dina been?

Guess
She's made another blog and abandoned it again...

Test
I've been having issues with my internet connection for the last month. For a while now, my partner and I have been living off 6gb/month, using a dongle. We've finally (took us long enough!) realised that that's not going to cut it, especially when one of us watches a lot of anime... So during our transition phase from dongle to "real" internet, we've kinda been cut off from the online world. Especially as we normally reach our quota within a week of it being reset... #firstworldproblems

You can imagine that as a teacher, that causes a few problems! And also as an avid anime watcher, there are huge problems in that department!! But hopefully we'll be back online and I can catch up with things.

I've been missing participating in Twitter chats, and seeing what my online PLN is up to. I've been missing being able to check the weather at a few taps on my phone. I most certainly miss my animated crushes *sigh*
One of my favourite arcs in this anime.
And like most teachers, I miss Googling things the night before, haha. I kid. I only do that sometimes. Like... How do you explain an exothermic reaction to 8-year olds, in language that they'll understand?

According to my ISP, I should've been online 2 days ago. But still nothing. So here I am, on Mother's Day, ignoring my mother and writing to you lot instead. 

So nyah; I did not abandon my blog. But I am also not abandoning my mother, so toodle-oo.
