How important is today's mass media in our lives? Going 48 hours without TV, radio, Internet, film, social media, MP3 players, and even cell phones will help answer that question as my Mass Communications students and I will undergo such an experience. To say it won't be easy is an understatement! Wish us luck!

Day 2: Sunday
This day was much easier than Saturday. I go to church Sunday in the morning and at night so that took up much of my day. One thing I did have a problem with though was riding in the car with no music. Saturday I didn’t really commit to doing this, but I decided that I should go all the way with this project. When driving, it felt weird with the silence but after I got used to it. It made you notice your surroundings more. After church in the morning I had to study for a final, so no need for media there. However, I kept hearing screaming and yelling. It was family watching the Cowboys game in the other room. Everyone, including me, in my family hates the Cowboys; we always watch their games so we can see them lose. It sounded like a good game, so I gave in and watched some of it. I didn’t feel that bad though, the Cowboys were doing horrible. My favorite part was when they blocked that punt for a touchdown. Unfortunately, at the end, the Cowboys won. I am pretty sure they won’t go anywhere anyway. At the end of day football broke me down again. My team the Steelers were playing on Sunday night football so I had to see a little of that. Thankfully we won the game. Texting and using the Internet was once again very easy to ignore. I think this worked this weekend because I had so many things to do school related. If I were to try this any other weekend I don’t think I could have handled it. With my weekend finally over I am back to my ways again. It feels good to listen to my music again. I learned a lot about myself this weekend, so at the end of everything, I am glad I went through it.
