Is Technology a Waste of Time?

Sometimes I wonder how much time I would save by simply not using a computer and the internet. Is it worth it to use facebook almost all the time to share photos and keep in touch with friends although I’m thousands of miles away? I just am starting to feel like I should just make myself a computer schedule and just use it for the short period of time I budget for it so that I force myself out of my room and out into Madrid and the rest of Europe other than at night.
Though lately I’ve been trying to just go out to walk around the city on my own and get to know it on my own, but the last 3 days it just keeps on raining or is very cold, terrible conditions to walk around. Eventually the weather will have to get better.
I just realized the other day that I mistakenly wrote down the classroom number for the lower level course of Historia del Presente and so I have been mistakenly attending class with the wrong professor although it is almost the exact same material anyways. I really like my current teacher and I think that I can stay in this lower level course as two of my other classmates managed to do. They just told me to talk to the professor and then to Ana about it. But after attending class this morning I went and talked to Ana and she said that it was absolutely not alright for me to do and that she never authorized Amanda to drop down to the lower course. I hope I didn’t screw over Amanda’s situation. On Wednesday I’ll just attend the higher level course and hopefully I won’t be too thrown off by the different teacher and won’t be intimidated by all the bilingual people.
After going to the gym I finished a bunch of the homework that I had been assigned and got home just on time for dinner that night. We had eggs over easy with some type of sticky rice with sautéed mushrooms and bacon (or some thin-sliced ham) which I chopped up and mixed all together. Surprisingly it was reaaaly good and hit the spot for sure. After talking to her for a little while I skyped with Jess and then threw on We Were Soldiers by Mel Gibson for an English movie to settle my desire for a little American culture back in my life. Again, some hot milk with Honey to completely get rid of my little cold. I’m almost 100% better now.
