What it all boils down to

Sorry about the tardiness of this post- my laptop was acting goofy and the link was saved on here...blah blah blah I'm sure you guys like my excuses.

Well, this week was an experience- four days! I feel like I'd be repeating myself too much if I summarized how each day/project went like I have the last two weeks, so I'm just going to list off the obstacles of this week.

TECHNOLOGY FAST: papers, tests and homework were plentiful, the internet would've been welcomed with open arms; plans for going home this week would have been much more extensive had I had my cell phone; I could have gotten more online Christmas shopping done with the internet as well; the rain limited my outdoor time, so much time was spent..thinking..? (pro or con?)
ELECTRICITY: the rain limited the sunlight that I had been using to light my room-lights were on much more often; one lightbulb in my bathroom is flickering, so instead of turning on that one light in the middle of the bathroom, my suitemates tend to turn on two other lights to compensate; with all the extra studying, I was for an unfortunate amount of time=lights on much more often in the early mornings
WASTE: I recieved a couple packages in the mail, one contained packing peanuts, one was in a large box, and the other was in a thick padded (not recyclable) envelope; with all the running around of this week, my roommate ate a lot of fast food, quickly filling our trashcan.

By these cons, it must look like I had a difficult week, but honestly, it was comparable to the other two. I take this as a great sign because doubling the amount of days I do the projects should double the effort. I really loved this project. As cliche as this totally is, it made me just stop and think and not worry and slow down. All of those are actions not usually taken by me, all very unusual feelings for me. A couple of times when on a normal day I'd be drowning in anxiety, I felt like I was breathing the lightest, freshest air I had ever encountered. I completely plan on continuing to every once in a while do a technology fast. And as the waste and electricity reduction were not that difficult, I 100% plan to contine with those. Through the weeks, I pretty much did those every day, it was hard to not feel guilty when I threw something away.. haha
