Good news: only 14 days left. This immersion is starting to get to me. After the first half of the month, I never thought my thumbs would be craving to send a text. Tonight I made a couple of calls from my friends' phones. Once to call Seth back at home, who I hadn't talked to for a week (something that never ever happens). Once to call my best friend Patrick who lives right off campus, but without my phone I rarely have talked to him since before the immersion. And finally to call one of my friend's from IU who has been visiting BSU for the last couple of days, in order to meet up with him. None of the phone calls were very long, just the freedom to call my people without having to memorize numbers is greatly missed! It's funny because I've always been extremely awesome at memorizing phone numbers, but now I've been able to come up with words to put to the numbers in order to memorize even more numbers. I'm not sure how my brain stores anything else other than numbers!
Also, an update from Melissa's one-day no Facebook immersion. Last night at 11:45 she was begging to get back on. I told her I wasn't forcing her to hold off until midnight, but yet again she impressed me. She waited until the clock struck midnight and Facebooked. Today she was online considerably less than she usually is. When I walked back into the room while she was in classes, I was so surprised to see her Mac laying dormant on the futon. I'm impressed with her! I just can't wait to be able to chose when I can be online again!
