Jan 5

This is my cell phone. I had to give up my cell phone today for almost a whole day which for a kid from my generation, is a huge sacrifice. My dad took it with him this morning to get it fixed at the apple store because for some reason it decided to mute every person on the other line of my phone calls. While I expected to be having withdrawals all day from being phone-less, it actually turned out to be quite nice. It was almost a relief not having it on me. I even waited a whole hour to go down and get my phone back after my dad had gotten home with it. Even though it doesn't exactly make for an exciting picture, I immediately decided that I need to work on breaking away from my phone. This is probably going to be a lot harder than I think it will be, especially since my phone is packed with games, twitter, e-mail, texting, yadda, yadda, yadda. Even out at dinner tonight with my family I made sure not to touch my phone once. It's makes time so much more enjoyable being able to have entire conversations and not have them being cut off by stopping to look at a text message. I honestly found it a little disturbing how much time I spend on my phone and I find myself wondering how my days would be different if I didn't have it strapped onto me 24/7. I'll let you know how it turns out.
