day 3

Even without facebook, I've found ways to avoid doing homework. Not shocked. I'm not bothered by the fact that I haven't been on facebook in four days now. This little experiment has shown me how little I need facebook in my life, that I don't need to update my status every day, and I don't need to see what EVERYONE else is doing. Without facebook, I don't feel incomplete, or out of the loop. I actually am less stressed about going on to see who's in a relationship with who, or worry about my profile picture being ugly or whatever. This experiment has actually shown me how much I hate facebook. But, what's really bothering me is not being able to text. Last night one of my good friends texted me stating that she had to tell me something, that I won't be able to hear until next tuesday, which is really irking me. Although it's bothering me not being able to text, it's eye-opening to me how much I rely on texting. I'll go to text my mom to pick me up from practice or a friend's house, and then I'll remember I can't text.

In today's world Emerson and Thoreau's themes are still meaningful. I think this can be seen in everyone becoming more earth-friendly and aware of their environment. People are becoming more "green" and aware of the fact that we're not the only ones on this planet, and aren't the only ones that ever will be. People are also becoming more accepting of one another, and more open to being different.
