Thank you to the creepy anonymous person who emailed me today reminding me to pay my summer college tuition. Those payments were actually automatic, but either way, I’m quite impressed that you found out on which date the payment would be charged, and even concluded that because the regular payment date was on a weekend, the charge would occur on the following business day. Now please stop stalking me that closely.

In other news, one of my textbooks for one of my summer courses arrived in the mail today. It’s a used book, and it sort of smells like dirty gym shoes.

Topic #150: See how long you can sit in silence. Before you start, check the clock and guess at how long you can do it for. Then when you’re done: how close was your guess? Surprised? What did you experience while siting? Was it pleasant or frustrating?

This topic is a little silly to me beacuse I sit in silence consecutively for hours a day out of my own free will because I don’t find the need to say anything.

I’m normally a very peaceful person when I’m alone, and I usually attempt to place myself into situations where I will be alone. I don’t think I can remain silent on the Internet because I’m always communicating in one form or another, but I actually prefer to be silent in real life rather than speak randomly with those around me.

Depending on the day, if I’m in my studio on my university campus on a weekend with no plans, I can stay silent for the entire day without a problem. So, if I were to guess how long I could stay silent, I would say about 32 hours – that’s two nights and one full day of not speaking.

I can’t really test that right now because I’m back at home and I’m frequently communicating with my parents, but if I remember this blog post when I’m back at university, I’ll try to test it out.
