Thoreau Experiment #2

I wrote this blog on Sunday but I didn't get the chance to post it since i've been running around like a crazy maniac all fall break. The first few days were really hard. I kept giving into the urge to check my technology but by Sunday I started to get used to it. Saturday I went to Washington D.C. with my best friend and the only technology that I used was my digital camera to document it and my friends GPS and that was because I cant even tell someone how to get out of my development I am that bad with directions. Other than that, my phone was off the entire day and I actually enjoyed it. I was able to spend the day talking with my best friend and catching up since we haven't had the chance to talk the last few weeks. I have to say another plus to not using the technology was the lack of drama that was in my life. I didn't have to deal with my ex boyfriend or some of the problems that were going on with my friends. I just felt better. I know that once this project is over with I will probably just go back to how I was before, but I'm hoping that there will be some times that I am able to just turn off my phone and disconnect myself from it
