DAY 2

Day two was a bit more difficult with not being able to text. My best friend lives in Arizona and we talk to each other everyday with text, phone calls and what not. So not being able to hear from her all weekend was so tough. Every time anything cool happened I would grab my phone to text her and then have to stop. But I learned the out of sight out of mind method and just left my phone away from me all day. The only time I failed at this was to text my boyfriend to let him know the plan for the day because with out that we would have been both out of the loop.
I worked mostly all day Sunday so I didn't watch any TV and I did not use the internet at all... I was so proud of myself.
I learned that its so easy to rely on all this media especially internet because it is quick, a lot quicker than looking up in a book information or making phone calls to companies when you can simply go online and do things. I am going to try not to use my internet as much, especially online shopping. And I am trying not to text as much anymore. Listening to music in the car was the easiest to give up, and I found my self driving without music today even though the project is over. That really shocked me being as how much I LOVE music and singing in my car.
I think I made the deprivation feel a lot harder than it actually was and if more people would deprive themselves here and there it would be easier for everyone to not text as much. Because everyone texts, I couldn't find another way to communicate with some of my other friends so instead I just ignored them all weekend... but they are still great friends and didn't take it personal! :]
