March 14th- DAY FOURTEEN

Oh how I've missed Muncie and classes...not! All jokes aside, today was a pretty chill day with only two classes and not much to do in either one. One thing that I can say is for sure is that without Facebook and my phone, I have been able to catch up on sleep. I can only take so many reruns of the same old Law and Orders before I end up falling asleep. I guess that's a good benefit that has come out of these fourteen days. I've been happier and more alert over this immersion, but staying up later because I know I can sleep during the day may not necessarily be a good thing.

While being at home, I definitely forgot how much crap I get from people, especially my roommate, rubbing it in my face that they're on Facebook and such. Lately it's been really funny to people when they tell me that they just posted on my wall or sent me a text, and knowing I won't be able to get it for 16 more days. Believe me, I'm counting down. Last night while laying in bed, I made a decision on how I'm going to spend March 31st when the clock strikes midnight. I've decided that I will immediately turn on my phone, in fact I'll probably have it in my hands a good hour or so before my immersion project will be over, counting down the seconds until I can turn it on. However, I decided that I will only get on Facebook to reinitiate the 13 or so poke wars that I am in with people. Over the past six months, I've referred to myself as the poke war master and I really really hated having to lose a temporary poke battle. Even though I'll have many notifications and friend requests, I'm going to hold off on those until the day of March 31st or maybe even April 1st when I go home and can take the full day catching up on all the statuses and pictures I've missed out on the month of March. Yes, this is what I do while I lay in bed at night waiting to fall asleep. Normally, I would be texting, but now I've resorted to thinking about crazy things. Like last night, for example, I was trying to figure out all of the puppets' names from Mister Rogers's Neighborhood from when I was a kid. At the beginning of these thoughts all I could remember was Elaine Fairchild, but after some intense thinking I figured out King Friday, Queen Saturday, and Prince Tuesday. I'm not sure how productive that all was, but reliving my childhood was fun.
