Go 24 Hours Without Technology

So from Friday at 10:30PM till Saturday at 10:30PM I went without computer/internet, cell phone, land line phones, GPS, TV, video games, CD's, cassettes, radio of any kind, etc.

It was pretty easy for the first 20 hours but around 6:30PM on Saturday I started yearning for the internet.
I don't think it would have been a problem though if I had kept super busy and not been at home.
It's really interesting though about how much we are dependent on technology. I have to write an essay about it for my MCS class because it was actually his push to do it for the assignment that made me do it this weekend. I probably would have procrastinated on it otherwise.

It wasn't as hard as I thought it would have been overall though. :-)

Things I Did Not Accomplish:

Go to an amusement park: This was simply from lack of time. It ended up coming down to this or the Broadway show, so I chose the latter. It's definitely going on the list for next year though. :)

Play in the rain: This was due to procrastination. By the time I realized I hadn't done it yet was too late because it didn't rain between then and my birthday. :/ Going on the list for next time.

Read a book: Cover to cover? Nope. I'm lazy. I really need to do this though.

Pass out Tuesday Brochures: I didn't actually get to pass them out to strangers, but I did make them, and I do have them, and I did take them with me to Chicago and gave them to April and Jes. No pictures though. :(

Get a passport: This seems like something I need to do once I decide on a place that I'm actually going to go to. So it's going on the next list, but only because my other goal is to leave the country.

Visit somewhere not in the US: Read above: Goal is to do this before 2012 now. Hopefully somewhere in Europe, I feel like Canada is cheating.



PS- Sorry it took so long to close out this blog. But it's done now! Yay!

Not Break My Phone Or Camera

I actually upgraded both my camera AND my phone from the time that this list was created and my 22nd birthday. But none of the 4 electronic items broke ever! :)

Find A Pair Of Sunglasses That Don't Make My Face Look Ridiculous

Caylee sent these to me for my goal:

I'm pretty sure that it counts because they are SO ridiculous that I LOOK GOOD. :)

Go Run Through A Sprinkler

Ran through a sprinkler at night with Katie at her boyfriend's birthday party. In my clothes.

See A Broadway Show

Katie and I drove to Wolftrap in Virginia to see Cats! It was super hot out but we managed through the entire show and drank lots of water/cooled ourselves with baggies of ice! :)
The show was really great. I admire people like those actors.
