Joshua Kennedy 10/25/2017 12:59 PMI used to do this because it annoyed me to have the water needlessly running but now after realizing how much water it really can save in a day, it is now my new reason for doing so! -
Joshua Kennedy 10/24/2017 9:40 AMOnce again, I have eaten all of my meals today with my phone and computer in my apartment. I don't even watch tv while eating because most of the time, they are playing sports or talking about something else I don't care about on the television. I only like to watch educational programs on National Geographic or the real world reporting of Viceland. I really try to stay away from having my face in a screen. -
Joshua Kennedy 10/24/2017 9:33 AMAfter yesterdays post, my friend and myself went on night hike. I enjoyed it because it was something different and I got to spend about an hour with my friend in the outdoors. Around here, it is a little hard to find something I haven't hiked in the past three years. My friend however, is new around here so I have been enjoying showing her all of the things that my friends have showed me in past trips and from my time living in Marquette. -
Joshua Kennedy 10/23/2017 2:44 PMThis is a challenge that I had great rearing to very early on in life but don't always do it. Except for today! So far, I have brushed my teeth twice today, with the water off each time. I hope to continue this because it is a good practice and an easy way to save water. -
Joshua Kennedy 10/23/2017 2:41 PMToday I have eaten all of my meals without the distraction of my phone, computer or other people. This allows me a chance to be more conscience of what I am eating and to eat my food as fast or slow as I wish. I think I will regularly practice this from now on with the exception of eating by myself all the time. -
Joshua Kennedy 10/22/2017 12:31 PMThis weekend I completely disconnected from email to spend time with my friend who I hadn't seen in over a year. It was good and we enjoyed a lot of hiking on Saturday.
