So I decided that I would accept the 7day no technology challenge. I didn't feel like it would be too difficult. I figured no phone, no TV, no ipod no real problem. Oh boy was I wrong. It didn't really hit me until the second day. The first day I caught up on homework, I read Feed, studied for 2 exams and started to do more school work. The second day I realized I took out most of my homework, my brain was tired and didn't want to really do any more work. I tried to go work out but after 20 min I couldn't take it anymore. I am so use to music to keep me pumped and focused I was use to that background noise. Going to bed was also rough, I sleep with my ipod on every night so I never really had a full silent night. Another thing about not having my ipod was my life is in there, all of my appointment time, when homework is due and also games to pass time before classes. I forgot to do a homework assignment because I was so use to getting a notification. My cell wasn't much of a problem, I've gone weeks at a time not having it when I left it at home. I don't use an alarm clock so I still woke up on time. I feel that I went to bed early because I was just so bored. This weekend shouldn't be too bad because I'm going to the cabin with a few friends but I have no clue how I'm going to get ahold of them so they can pick me up. I defiantly didn't think everything through before I took this challenge. I'm a very clean person so I just see all my dirty wash just growing. I feel that if I was camping I would be fine but being at school in Ship is rough. I feel the environment is the most challenging thing.
I've been putting off writing this because I knew I wanted to save it for when I felt withdrawal. It is very tempting not to open up a new tab and just surf the web, but I made it this far so I cant give up
