TOMORROW

Well I guess we can't stop doing this until tomorrow I thought it was today because 7 days would have been yesterday and not today and tomorrow is the day i'm just getting confused now and i'm mad because I want to listen to music. so i don't have much to say today. :-( MAD FACE

LAST DAY, FINALLY!!!

I am so happy that today is the last day to give up my medium, this is so exciting. I forgot to mention in yesterdays blog that i did NOT run on the treadmill last night because I new how boring it would be, it is amazing how giving up something that you do not even realize how much you use it or it means to you can change your life.
I CAN'T WAIT to get up in the morning tomorrow and drive to school so that I can listen to music. I will finally be able to listen to to the CD that my friend made me the other night. I am soooo excited to have my medium back because I have really missed it. This was a hard thing to do. :-)

November 27, 2007- BORING

Today I rode to school and work as usual without any music. Only one more day so i'm just used to dealing with it. I talked on my cell phone a little bit while I drove but I also realized that on my way to school at 7:30 AM no one wants to talk to me :-( I want to just listen to my music. ahhhhhhhh i'm going insane without my medium. LIFE IF SO ROUGH!

it was fun to talk to the other people in class today about how they were dealing with out their mediums.

November 26, 2007 -DAY 5

Well its day 5 already, this is going faster than I thought. Or am i just keeping busy with other things maybe. Today it rained all day. nonstop. rain rain rain.. so while I was driving to school and work and then home I heard the rain and it was interesting to see how it would be slow drops tapping on the window and then it would get so hard. Also I heard my windshield wipers. My windshield wipers are rain sensative so the wetter they get the faster they go.

but. Just when I thought that this was going alright, my friend made me a mixed CD last night.
I don't know why he did this to me. He knows that I can't listen to music this week. I am really sad that I cannot listen to it. :-(

only 2 more days....
p.s. i did put off running on the treadmill today, it is too boring. maybe tomorrow i will!

DAY FOUR - THERE IS A WAY

WELL today was a better day. I figured out how to drive long drives in the car without listening to the radio or anything. Today I fould I way to pass the time. TALK ON MY CELL PHONE!!! I finally relized something I can do to make this not so hard.

I called up my friend today on my 45 minute drive that I had to make! wow it is a relief to have SOMETHING to do. These drives were starting to get really really looooong. But today is the 4th day. This means only monday, tuesday and wednesday left. I think I can do it. :-)

DAY 3

Well I am almost 1/2 way through this I guess. Today I didn't do much driving but I did run on the treadmill. I usually run everyday and listen to my iPod. WELL running and not being able to listen to my iPod was very interesting. It felt like I was running for an eternity. I tried watching TV but it is just not the same. Music puts me in the mood to run not tv. I also tried reading while running. That just made me dizzy. I think that this week I won't be doing much running !! hopefully i can make it til next Thursday. :-)

November 23, 2007

( sorry this is a day later because my internet at home doesn't work all the time) Today was really boring driving to work. It is a 1/2 hour drive to work. I had to drive there and back without any music. I learned what my turn signal sounds like because I never heard it before! I also noticed some strange noises like the seatbelt was banging on the wall. This is going to be very difficult to continue to do all week. I also went christmas shopping later in the night. It was a long drive to the mall and back...to be continued.......

DAY ONE

Thanksgiving ! Today was the first day of giving up music. I rode in the car for an hour to my aunts house in Ohio and normally I would listen to my ipod or turn on the radio. It was so boring that I ended up sleeping on the way there and on the way home. I think that it is going to be a really long drive to work tomorrow morning without the radio. It will be so silent for a good 1/2 hour. Hopefully I can stay awake! This is going to be so hard to give up music for a whole week. YUCK!!

This Blog

This Blog is for my Understanding Media class. Everyone in the class (including the teacher) is supposed to give up their favorite medium from Thursday, November 22th- Thursday 29th. We have to post comments about our experiences without our favorite medium and what we are doing instead with our free time. We are also supposed to comment on our other classmates experiences without their favorite medium. I have decided to give up MUSIC, my favorite medium. This will be hard, but I think I can do it ! This means no ipod, radio, CD's, or music video's for 1 week. :-(
