3rd WEEK OF JOURNALS

So today I was listening to some music and I happened to run across “No place like Nebraska” and it made me realize how much I miss the football games and how much I’m looking forward to going to them next fall. The Husker games are especially great because I get to hang out with my brothers at the games. For all of the home games we went to the games together and sat together to watch the games. It made it a lot more fun because we were all together to discuss how what it is that we thought about the game. And since we all have really busy schedules down here we don’t all get to hang out very often. And since the games we haven’t really all gotten to hang out together. But when we’re at the football games we’re able to hang out and have a really fun time together.
So I guess the reason that I love Husker football is even beyond the fun of the game, but more of what it represents. My family has always watched the games together and it’s just something that we can all share in together. It’s funny to think that an item that you get to spend the most quality time is to watch a football game. But for me Husker football will always represent fun times spent with my family.




The topic for this one is my appreciation for music. For the longest time I have been without music in my room. I don’t have a CD player, an MP3 player, or even a basic stereo. And the sound hasn’t been working on my computer at all. It’s surprising how much you miss music when you don’t have it. So the other day I got a sound card for my computer and after I installed it I just started listening to whatever music I could find on my computer. I had no idea how much I had missed listening to music until I started listening to some again. My room used to get so incredibly quiet and I tended to fall asleep more often in the middle of my studies. But I realized that with music in my room I’m actually more focused than before because my mind is constantly active with at least some thought, so it eliminates the downtime in reading. And I’m just generally happier when I have music on.
The main thing that I’ve gained from my speakers is that my room generally seems calmer, while still allowing me to maintain focus on my homework. To me music is the best way for me to have something going on my room without it being something that will be likely to distract me. The fact that I was without my music for so long makes me appreciate having it back so much more as well.
