A day in the (Internet) life.

Do you remember this song ? This is the last one of the mythical sergent’s peppers lonely heart club band CD of the Beatles. It is cut in two, one part sung by Lennon at the beginning and the end, and the middle part sung by McCartney. This part describes a normal day of Paul McCartney youth’s life.

” Woke up, got out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, i noticed i was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and i went into a dream”

I’ll try to do the same with any day of MY life, notably all my actions related to the Internet.

Wake up, got out of bed, I’m already late. I’m definitely not a person who likes the morning. Nobody must talk to me, I hate leaving my bed. No time for the Internet at this moment of the day, except if I have to print a mail for homework or anything like that. Except from being in the room 111 (because Paul can receive a WI-FI connection in it), I don’t have any contacts with computer at all until our lunch break (I’m an old fashioned guy, I take notes on paper).

Often, during noon, we go to the Celsa computers with my teammates of the Spartak Celsa soccer team (Paul-Antoine, Paul, and Charles) to check our future opponents in the Celsa tournament, to arrange a meeting, to make them under pressure also . If you wanna learn more about this fantastic tournament we created, go to this facebook group !

We also have in the class a permanent link to the Internet thanks to Charles’s blackberry.

My “Internet day” really begins when I come back at home. I go to my little sister bedroom (because her computer is way better than mine), I put my deezer play list, open in another leaflet my hotmail, then my facebook account. I check what’s going on it, answer to my mails, send another ones. The usual business.

After, I check the sportive information and the regular one, respectively on Lequipe.fr and Lemonde.fr, then when my little sister arrives and wants her computer back, I usually negotiate a Tv show episode like Greek or Gossip Girl on a streaming site like goodsites. Before sleeping, I do the same cycle.

I would like to add that before this class is over, i was only a follower on the Internet. I was actually a viewer, except from my facebook account, I always watch other people create on the Internet. Now, I know how to manage a blog, insert links, photos, and videos. I can post also a video on youTube, and collaborate to a wiki. I’ve become a CREATOR and that makes me feel a little less lost in that deep ocean of the Internet.

XOXO
