So Genius

I'm averaging a post every three days; I must have no life.

Today, it was the first really cold day where it hovered around freezing for most of the day. I am terrified of the cold. When I was going home, I thought it'd be smart if I bought a hot drink to keep myself warm for the ride home. I thought I was so genius for buying a hot drink. Little did I know that the ride from the point that I got the drink to when I get home is an hour long. So this whole time I'm sitting in the bus sipping away, I suddenly remembered that I have the world's smallest bladder. At about the halfway point, I started to need to go. Curses to the liquids that go right through me! Trust me, I've tested myself before; I can drink a cup of something, and within an hour, it's out of my body. When I got to the exchange point to switch buses, and depending on which one I get on, there are different amounts that I would have to walk to get home. Since it's a Friday, and everyone wants to get home fast, I just got on the first one that I saw - the one that required a longer walk, but shorter ride. When I got off the bus, I tried to walk as fast as I could to get home, because a) it was windy, and b) I really needed to go. The first rule for staying warm in the winter is to make sure you don't need to pee. A little bit of a science lesson: water has a really high heat capacity, so it can hold heat really well. Since pee is mostly water, it holds the heat inside your body making you feel colder. With the combination of the wind and the need to excrete, it was probably the worst 6 or 7 minute walk I ever took. Man, I thought I was so genius. But it's now safe to say that I got home without a malfunction in the junction.

Now that I wasted a few minutes of your time by making you read about urination, I will wrap it up. There were a few topics that I really wanted to talk about relating to the Christian life; but there's been so much information that's been shoved into my brain, I'm having a lot of trouble retaining all of it. After I review a bit, I will get to them.

I've also met two people at Ambrose that are from Dubai. Little is needed to know that there is a huge difference between +50 degrees and -50 degrees. Enough said; I kind of feel bad for them.

Hahaha! You don't have the world's smallest bladder, trust me. My bladder's the size of a walnut... but would you agree that the best feeling in the world is peeing after holding it in for a long time?
