NOT WORTH LIVING

As I awoke I knew from the start that it was going to be a tough day. I was just pacing back and forth around my house trying to come up with something to do that didn’t revolt around technology. After 30 minutes in I gave in and called my friend to see what he was up to. Right off the bat he came up with this spontaneous adventure that I knew I couldn’t pass it up. My friend Art came up with an idea to go up to San Marcos and spend the day there. Right when he said San Marcos I knew it was going to be awesome. The drive was pretty boring because we always listen to music so within five minutes in we couldn’t take it so we cranked up the volume and jammed out. As soon as we got to San Marcos we called up my friend who goes to Texas State University and she had an idea to go to Austin for the day. The drive as I knew wasn’t going to go without music so I had no choice. If I had the choice to be playing online games all day I knew I wouldn’t have gone on this trip and I would have been bored out of my mind. Right when we found parking around the University of Texas in Austin we were trying to find a something to do. For some reason I wasn’t expecting to see anybody I knew that went to University of Texas until spotted my friend Derly. After that encounter we met up with some more of my high school friends and they were headed to a protest for the SB 1070 bill. We marched on down Congress street chanting and waving signs. After all of that we came back to Texas State were we just hung outside and talked till three in the morning. And yes I’m still here at Texas State and I can say that I am having a blast without using technology. You cannot trade good conversation with old friends to being isolated at home doing nothing but play games and sleep.

  1. Ahh, Austin... My home away from home. So how did the protest go? It's interesting to see all the different activities a lot of you are doing to cope with the Media Deprivation.
