Class Assignment

Right now my teacher is giving the class an assignment to go without ANY media for a week.

I can do without Facebook... I think. I don't have Twitter therefore I could care less about it, I also don't have Tumblr but there are a few Tumblr accounts I have bookmarked and like to look at occasionally. "Occasionally" meaning multiple times a day.

I cannot and will not go without blogging. That wouldn't be fair to all of you. I plan on using the blog to perhaps document my boredom and what is going on in my life without the outside world. 

I cannot, though, go without my shows. Good Morning America, The Carrie Diaries, The Neighbors, Modern Family, and Downton Abbey. I also oftentimes have the TV on for background noise while I am doing things around the house or if I want to learn about things to blog about. I can't go without Good Morning America. I just can't. Especially now that Robin Roberts is coming back.

I also cannot go without music. I would probably be hospitalized for mental illness if I went a week without music.

After today's class, I will no longer be using any internet other than Blogger and educational sites, so it will leave me a lot of time to take pictures of me, myself, my items and my clothes. That's good news for you readers and my blog itself. It's going to be very hard to keep myself from creeping people on Facebook aimlessly browsing the internet. I'm going to try my hardest to only watch GMA and nothing else; I will try to have iTunes and CJAM 99.1 as my only music sources; I will go as long as possible without Facebook, which means I will have to change my browser homepage.

I might be crouched in the corner by the end of the 7 days, picking at dead bugs and cat hair and trying to entertain myself with them, or I might find more time to do other, more productive things. But something I can be sure of is that I will be different, and I hope I will realize that I will be able to survive and thrive without watching so much TV and looking at profiles and pictures of people I have not and will never meet.
Wish me luck and I'll see you around Blogger.
