Day 2 was another fairly successful day. Like I presumed, half of my day was wasted at work. This automatically prevents most cell phone use, television, and music (besides the blaring country in the background, of course). Still somehow, time slowly passed until shift change had arrived; which followed by me racing home to complete our first blog yesterday by five.
At this point the hardest battle remained with listening to music, especially in the car. Driving both thirty minutes to school and/or to work has completely put me in the habit of jamming out from the point I turn my car on, till it is off. I’ve been hearing noises from my car I never even knew it could make, not to mention how slow the time passes in traffic. Normally, the only reason I wouldn’t be listening to music in the car is if I was on the phone. When I’m driving to/from school and work I sometimes pass the time by calling my mom or friends, but of course this is not an option either. THANKFULLY, I survived all the commutes (by cheating only a couple times).
Overall, I think on a random basis a little media deprivation wouldn’t be a bad idea. I never watch TV (on the actual television at least), and I get my news online. And although texting seems to be the most neurotic thing about my phone, it’s still not bad to have a short escape. The only aspect I never want to give up again would be the music. For all those moments (because that’s actually what they feel like) between school, then work, and then somewhere in there friends, music is the one thing that I will make time to stop and take in. At least for those few minutes my mind forces itself to find peace in what I’m hearing and hopefully put all the other crap to the side.
