Day 1

I completely messed up m project and started today since I have today and tomorrow off from work, instead of on Saturday. I couldn't figure out a way to get to actually attempt to do the project on the weekend since that is the busiest time at work. I actually don't work at salad creations anymore. I got a new job at Cutco, and I do both sales rep and also PR. On the weekend I do PR which is really awesome, and would be ridiculous to not use my phone since I use my phone all day to call people in for interviews. Now that I am off for two days, I can certainly say this project is beyond difficult. I had so many people all day calling and texting me. To do the project to my best I left my phone at home, which ended up being a really bad idea since I got into an accident at school with a stupid blonde girl. So after the accident issue was resolved I went to my final and ended up being 30 min late. After all the accident drama, I had to break the rules and call my insurance company when i got home, then I had to call my parent to let them know of the situation. After that I decided to keep my phone on me, I just kept it in my purse throughout the day so in case of emergency. Now what was even harder then going without a phone was going without music. The drive in the car was really silent, but it wasn't as hard as I expected it to be to fill the empty space with noise. I just started singing aloud to myself, and talking to myself. I would pretend I had an ear thing on so that way people wouldn't think I'm crazy, but it would be cool if they thought that. So far, today has been sort of successful with the deprivation project.

Day 2

Monday was my last day to go without mass media. Doing this assignment was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I love watching television and movies so that was the hardest part of it all. On Monday I started it off by going to the gym, which was really hard because I normally listen to my music when I do my workout. Not being able to listen to my music while doing my work out really messed me up. I felt like I couldn't do anything as long as I normally do. They did have the television going while I was working out, but I couldn't see far enough to read it because the sound was turned off. After the gym I went out to lunch with a few friends and my boyfriend. We then went to fast eddies and played some pool and darts. The easiest part was not being on my Facebook or my phone. I don't really like a lot of people to bother me on my days of anyways so it wasn't hard to not look at my phone. I only answered or check for work calling or my mom calling because she freaks out if I don't answer. After we went to fast eddies we hung out at my house for a little we played cards and relaxed. I saw a few old friends I have not hung out with in a while and they came by to see my cats kittens the rest of the night consisted of hanging out with the cats. I can honestly say I could not give up music for the second day in my car, I drove around a lot and in traffic and I had to have the radio on because if not I get frustrated. Music tends to calm me down. I don't see how we could change up our living standards if we had to go without mass media. Living without mass media or technology for two days makes me happy I didn't grow up without it, things would of been a lot more difficult.

Day 2

I woke up on Sunday at 1 pm . I went to my aunt house because we where having a barbecue. The whole family get together because of the mother day. On my way to my aunt house on the car my mom was listening to the music so there were nothing I could do. When I get to the house my little cousin asked me that if he could borrow my cellphone to play some games. That really help me a lot. I spend more time with my mom. On there I was having a really good time with my family that I really not needed to use my cellphone at all. There were computers on the house but I didn't used I prefered to be on the swimming pool or doing other things. The only mass media that I used that day was the TV. The reason I watched is because my family after we finish to eat they all went to watch a Mexican program that everyone watch it on Mexico. There was a really difficult and weird experience by doing this project. There is going to be always a mass media on our lives. It is really difficult today to be without any mass media. For example if I wouldn't had my cellphone on Saturday I wouldn't hang out with my friend that I hadnt't see it on a while. The mass media that was the most difficult to no use is the phone. It is really necesary for many things.

Day one

The day I started my project was on Saturday.  I woke up at 2 pm that day for two reasons.   The first was that I slept late and the other was I did not srt up the alarm clock.  When I got up, I took a shower and went to my friend's house. It was the first time  I drove without listening to my stereo, and it felt so weird.  My friend asked me why did I not call him and I told him I did not use my cellphone because of the project.  He made fun of me, he could not believe I can live without my cell or stereo.  We made a bet of  20 dollars. It was hard for me at first, but for a while it was ok.  That day was an important game on TV.  My favorite soccer team was in playoffs.  And I had already made plans to watch the game with my friends.  I could not miss it and I broke the rule of watching TV.  We went to a restaurant to watch it. 

With the computer, I did not have any problem.  It was at home, and I only stopped by to take a shower, so I did not use it at all.  Unfortunately, I lost the bet with my friend because that night, I received a call from a friend from Mexico, the reason I answered was because I thought it was something important.  He was in San Antonio and wanted to hang out.  After that call, I noticed it was impossible to be without a cellphone because of emergencies,  I don't know how our parents, lived without them.
