Recently I began drinking water. Well, no, not for the first time ever, but I began to take it to school with me and drink it. I tell you, if something is there in front of me (I’m talking practical ingestible items here…), I will eat it, or I will drink it. I have very little self control (especially with candy). If I were standing in front of a buffet, I would either explode, or I would run out of food. So when I carry a liter of water with me, it poses certain problems. On Friday, the most immediate problem with this whole scenario was realized during : the physics exam. The problem with drinking a liter of water right before an exam is probably obvious to most, but since I hadn’t really been drinking anything on school mornings I became oblivious to the potential problem. Lets just say that about half way through the exam I was in considerable… distress. This wasn’t only because the exam sucked, but more to do with the fact that my body’s most immediate desire was to rid itself of the vast quantity of water I had consumed earlier. I had a great deal of regret during this exam, mostly due to the overzealous water consumption but also, as I have astutely determined, that physics exams suck.
