Extreme boredom set in from day 3, every day feels like a week from there. The day I was released I drank six large bottles of beer...Not recommended.

@Steven *******************
yes I have balcony

And many downloaded movies and music on my External harddrive

Have Netflix and Amazon prime on my tablet too

But not being able to just walk out of your room and do what you want is the bit that's kind of getting to me
Shane **********
@Tony ********
I brought an external hard drive with about 300 movies but the tv in my room had the USB feature disabled, but what surprised me was my willpower not to drink any of the four bottles of Australian red wine I brought with me.
Joel ********
@Shane *********
I cant say the same. I bought three bottles in three days they were going
Shane **********
@Joel *******
you bought or drank?
Joel ********
@Shane *********
yes πŸ˜†πŸ˜Š
