My Day Without my I-Pod

I was assigned to complete the challenge of choosing not to use my I-Pod, Facebook or texting for 24 hours. I accepted the challenge of not using my I-Pod for the day. I also expanded the challenge by eliminating music as a whole frommy entire day.
This challenge was way more difficult than I thought it would be. I thought this wuld be the easiest because with eliminating music I would still be entertained and able to communicate with my friends through texting and Facebook. Not being able to listen to music made my day empty and boring but it also helped me to realize new things. Before this challenge I knew that music was one of main interests, but I did not know that I was so dependent on it. I usually listen to my I-Pod or music on the way to school, walking to classes, while doing homework, to fight boredom and to help me fall asleep. i would also play music from my laptop while I shower. Without being able to do all this, my day was very quiet and I felt like I was lost. While walking around to classes I always listen to music to pass the time and to tune out everything around me. With no music today I noticed things I never did and listened to other sounds. I found myself singing or making a beat in my heas. I also listened to cars, birds and everyone talking around me. My day was boring without music but I have come to realize that everyone is so dependent on technology and alltypes of electronics nowadays that they fall out of tune with themselves and everything around them. I will try to stay in tune with myself, but as of now my 24 hours is up and I am listening to my I-Pod as I type this!
