Experiment

I could whine about depression again, but you've got lives to live and I have better things to say.

So, if you didn't know, I'm looking into going into the sound recording technology major, which is in the music department.  My ideal jobs would be either a music recorder (hopefully one day getting my own studio) or a folie artist.  Anytime you hear a cool sound effect in a movie or TV show, you can thank the folie artist that made and recorded it (and probably edited it too).
Basically sound is going to be very important to me for the next rest of my life (and I have imperfect eardrums.  Am I an idiot?)
So in order to become better acquainted with what will become my most important sense, I'm doing an experiment this memorial day.  I'm going blind.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do, as a simple scarf around my head won't cut it, and duct tape could rip out all my eyelashes, but I'll figure it out.  By going blind for a day, I hope to be able to perceive and recognize sounds and thus be more able to recreate them in a controlled environment (which would be cool as a music recorder and extremely useful as a folie artist).

Obviously, I cannot function perfectly as a blind man.  I have a decent internal compass, so moving about my dorm shouldn't be a problem, but I want to get outside.  Fortunately, my roommate Daniel has agreed to assist me in this endeavor, in that he will keep me from dying.  That's always nice.  Thank you Daniel.

So let's hope this goes well.
