a normal Thursday morning I would check my phone for the time and to see if anyone has tried to reach me. I made this day very different I woke up without checking my phone instead i just asked my sister what time it was and from there i got ready for the day at my aunts house in Bay area. I choice to make thanksgiving my day of no media because i knew there would be lots of people around to talk to and it was a good day to think about why i am thankful for my phone and Ipod and whatever else that goes under that category. After taking a shower and getting dress I joined my aunt and grandma in the kitchen to help them set up and cook for thanksgiving dinner. when people started to arrive I would greet them and talk for awhile. since I see them maybe 3 times a year it can be awkward, what was hard for me this day without my phone is usually if things got awkward or quite i could just look down at my phone and go on facebook or something. This made me have to come up with things to say. I had my little cousins around so it was really fun playing with them and stuff that part was so easy and entertaining because they can keep you entertained for hours plus i don't like having my phone around little kids because they always take it from me and then its lost and i have to go find it.. The hardest part was not having my phone or Facebook all day. TV and computer are pretty easy for me to not have unless there is a show on that night but it was thanksgiving so TV didn't even cross my mind.
communication was really easy for me on this day because everyone I needed to talk to was all with me except friends I really wanted to text some people happy thanksgiving but I refrained from doing so. that was pretty hard and I felt a little bad.
I was surprised by one thing and that is i use my phone as comfort tool. Its like I need it. It also helps me feel less awkward in awkward situations. That was one thing about this day that i found interesting and surprising.
