Day 3

I thought that giving up TV would give me more times to do things like clean my room or play with my dog, but it turns out I keep finding other ways to blob this time. I guess it's natural for one to switch into couch potato mode at a certain time of day. For me it's 8:00. Last night I was studying for Chemistry, and all of a sudden I just felt the need to be done. And sure enough it was 8:00. Instead of migrating to the television, I went to the piano, but I didn't practice, or play anything particularly hard (unless you count Chariots of Fire as really difficult.)

Since reading Thoreau and Emerson, I actually have noticed nature a little bit more. Now when I let my dog out when I get home from school, I actually hang around for an extra minute admiring nature. I think that is what their themes mean today; appreciation of life and nature. Looking at the little aspects of life that are really the most important.
