well, last night my family did put up the Christmas tree and we did have music on. Its hard to go against tradition when you have young children. Luckily, I had two papers to complete and it took up the remainder of my night.
I have to admit the feeling of giddiness hit me early this morning because I realized I wouldn't have to restrict myself from sorts of media any longer. That meant I would be able to listen to music and watch TV and search the internet. It almost compares to a kids being able to spend a large sum of money in a candy store in my deprived state of mind. The only draw back would be that my school classes would delay two of the fun choices. I found myself thinking back over the last 72 hours of this project and the shocking truth that was revealed to my inner self. This project made me realize that I an indeed reliant on modern technology and the progress of media. Its hard to swallow the fact that I have tendencies I associated with people I considered to have introvert habits. Many of the social networks have the allure of allowing me to socialize when my schedule allows for it. I can go out to dinner and still catch up with friends all over the globe within the same night. I realize now the thought of resistance to a convenient media seems unrealistic in my own opinion for my life. Communicating with others in class made me feel better that I was not the only one feeling different levels of anxiety or relapse during the 72 hour period. We all seemed to agree that taking away media would make a very interesting reality show. Although that reality show would be the one show I'd never think twice for auditioning for!
