Day 28

Today I went to see the doctor, so I didn't use that much media. It turns out I have pneumonia. Anyways, while I was in the waiting room I read a couple magazines and watched the discovery channel. After I was diagnosed, I let all my friends on Facebook know. I listened to the radio on the way home and went straight to bed. I just woke up after sleeping 5 hours to update my blog, but now I am gonna go back to sleep. This research project was fun because it confirmed one thing, I cannot live without media! I literally need it to survive. Life wouldn't be fun without it. It really is one of the most important aspects of my life.

Day 27

I'm really sick so I stayed in bed most of the day. I didn't really get to do anything except text and watch tv. I only checked my Facebook once today. I'm gonna play a few matches in Call of Duty and then call it a night.

Day 26

Today was good, real good. I checked my Facebook around 20 times and I played some Call of Duty. I watched the Astros and read some tweets on Twitter. I checked my email and entered a sweepstakes online. I chatted with a friend on Yahoo Messenger and texted a couple people. Media is awesome.

Day 25

Finally life is fun again! I got to catch up on the following shows: America's Got Talent, Master Chef, Hell's Kitchen, and True Blood. There is more to come in the following days. I am glad I didn't have to do this project during the NFL season. That would've been hell. I also got to finally be on Facebook! This was the thing I missed the most. I missed reading my friends' posts and whatnot. I haven't been this happy since the time I got my power back after hurricane Ike.

Day 24

Today I listened to the "Amen Break" video on YouTube. I didn't really understand it, so I was bored for the most part. I had to do a lot of research to make it look like I did though. I went to a lot of sites and gathered more information. I guess I wasn't that attentive this time because it was complicated. All I learned was that the copyright law is stupid. I finished my post pretty late, around the time America's Got Talent was starting. I knew this was Vegas week because my family has been giving me updates. I wish I could've seen it. I'm glad it got recorded though!

Day 23

Today I spent around 5 hours or so reading the textbook for the 3rd exam. I'm disappointed in how I did, but life goes on. I don't think 50 minutes was enough time to complete it. I want to watch tv to get my mind off of it, but I can't do that either. This is a frustrating week!

Day 22

I finally got to be on YouTube today, but only because I had to listen to the War of the Worlds radio broadcast. At first I thought it was gonna be a boring video, but it was actually pretty interesting. It made me think about how life was in the 1930s. I took my time watching it, and kept playing back certain parts of the video so I could write a good post in my introduction to mass communication course. I was definitely more attentive than usual because I hadn't been on YouTube in a while. I got to enjoy the moment. I paid close attention and took down notes on Microsoft Word.
