Blog 8

10 hours spent studying
50hours sleeping
20 hours interacting with media

What surprises me about how I spend my time?
-I am surprised that I spend double the amount of time studying, on twitter, instagram, or watching TV

Do you spend most the time on activities representing your most important values?-or not?
-I do not spend enough time studying so my time is not being used the most on whats most important. I need to study more and worry less about social media and television.

Where do I waste most of my time? What is it costing me?
-I waste most of my time during the middle of the day when I just sleep all day and eat. I could be doing more studying and homework, but I waste those precious hours away eating and sleeping then I have to stay up late and lose sleep.

I need to spend more time studying and also more time sleeping. Therefore I need to spend less time on social media and television because that time is useless. It makes me lose sleep and also hurts my grades so I need to cut down the time I spend on that.

I watched a clip of the 1970's final four game. First of all, a huge difference between now and back then in the game is that there was no three point line on the court they were playing. Also, the players seemed to not play as "showy" as now a days. Fast breaks ended with fundamentally sound layups, not dunks. There were alot more mid-range jumpers, and there were alot more white players if Im being completely honest. 
The shorts the players were wearing were extremely short. The hairstyles of the coaches and some of the players even could be best described as bushy and long. The classic combover was sported by white players and the black players either had shaved heads or afros. UCLA had sleeveless jerseys while the contender wore short sleeved shirts. 
As far as slang terms, I could catch alot of terms that were necessarily different than todays slang, but some terms used were "dish"-pass, "jumper"-jumpshot, and "big-man"-center. 
inbetween gametimes, during timeouts there were commercials for pepsi that featured women dancing in clothing with flowers and such which suggest appealing to the "hippie" mindset of young people
