DD Day 4

It's another day in detox land. I needed to remind myself today that the end goal of this detox process is to spend less time on social media, less time on my phone, and more time with my family and doing things that I enjoy. 

I did log on to FB last night to brag about our youngest daughter. She is a sophomore in high school. She took her PSAT's a few weeks ago and had gotten her score back. She scored in the top 20%. I am so proud of her. If only I could harness some of our girls work ethic (when it comes to school) and funnel it to our boys. 

Today I sent a text message to my neighbor to complain about my school work. Last semester I whined and carried on about how horrible my lab instructor was. She was bad. Death by power point is not something you should find in an anatomy lab. Back to the point at hand, this semester I have a lab teacher that I think will rock. We have tons of hands on time with the models and slides. But along with that comes a ton more work. I welcome the challenge but felt the need to whine about my work load today. I knew my friend would understand my message since she is a college student as well. We shared some misery moments together last semester. 

Wordfeud is sending me messages that I need to play a word or I will lose the game. While I really want to finish the games I started, I find myself resisting the urge so I can truly get used functioning without my phone. I don't want my phone to continue to be an extension of my arm. 

I recently bought myself a new Canon Rebel T4i camera. Since I literally had NO idea what I what to do with it, I found an awesome tutorial on how to use it. I spent some of my off time on Tuesday playing with the settings and watching the video. So this weekend after I have spent some more time on my homework I think I will take a trip outside and see what kind of pictures I can take. I might even leave my phone in the car when I venture out. :)
