I heart my iPhone

Ok-- so I'm at James Madison's Montpelier (nicely and newly renovated I might add) this past week-end for a Leadership program that I'm involved with.
We stayed on the property at Montpelier in the farmhouses that the DuPont's (who once owned Montpelier) built for their staff to live there.
Anyway, the houses have no TV's. Being a TV junkie this presents problem if you're used to having the TV on when you fall asleep and when you wake up.
Also the alarm clocks sucked.
Anyway, I had downloaded the free White Noise app and I put that on with the "Beach" sounds-- this feature also inludes a timer which I set for a couple of hours.
I also set the wake-up alarm on my phone.
I am currently reading "Don't stop the Carnival" so the beach background was really nice to fall asleep to and appropriate to the material.
In the AM I just used the iPod feature to provide some background music while I got ready for class.
As a result I didn't really miss the TV.
The flashlight App also worked realy great for the walk back to the houses after dark. We even had a little party and my iPhone served as background music.
I know I must sound like a complete dork. But I really am in love.
