Daily Journal #17: Twelve Hours of Silence

Today I chose to complete my 12 hours of being mute for my empathy training essay, and I thought that since on days that I'm home doing work or just have alone time, I am already pretty quiet for hours on end, I figured I would make it something that I'm not used to, by choosing to be mute on a day that I have school, but don't have anything that absolutely requires me to talk. I chose today because my coach for cross country decided to not give us practice, and there is no class for Tae Kwon DO on Fridays at the North Charlotte location. The day went well and actually pretty smoothly, but I definitely did have a number of people ask me why I was silent, and I would write out why, and I also had a couple people try to get me to talk during this 12 hours. Overall, today was pretty good, and I hope to be more productive tomorrow.
