miss tech

it's been roughly four months since i've posted anything. several more since i've blogged regularly. but there is definitely change and growth in my life and i'm excited to share thoughts & things i'm learning and just the lenses through which i see things.

in the midst of this desire to being to write more, i've decided to take a breather from the all-time-consuming, facebook.

this week, i've been a bit of a mess. my car's broken and i've been riding my scooter thirty-forty miles a day between school and work. it's been raining too.

out of curiosity i wanted to see how long it took me to get to school today, so i kept my phone in the pocket of my jacket, as i was turning into the parking lot at columbus state somebody honked at me, at first i was caught unaware and didn't realize that it was me they were trying to catch the attention of, when i did, they kindly told me they had seen my phone fall out of my pocket.

so i parked, went back and searched with no luck. so now, i'm phoneless also and contemplating the position my phone has in my life. i'm asking questions like, how will i wake up in the morning? how will i get ahold of my relatives when i arrive in NY tomorrow afternoon? how will i know almost everything (well, truly quite a bit less information than if i had a smart phone, but my phone is smart because i have friends that i call and ask to look up authors when i'm at a book store or directions when i'm lost on my way to pecha-kucha)

all this to say, technology is an overwhelmingly large part of my world. even as consumer-little as i strive to be, it owns me. so i will embrace it for an hour, and then go and see what cheap, crappy phone verizon will give me so that i can take my math 148 quiz at 8:30 tomorrow morning.
