I sweat any time it's above 20 degrees F, and I've noticed I go much slower when the sun is beating down on me and causing more sweat than usual. When it's colder out, it seems to not drain me as fast. I loose my appetite after a run for several hours. Weight lifting makes me hungry though.
I can lose weight by never going to sleep?! :P

I am tired enough...

I have a picture on my phone of a puddle that froze over at school back in January. I was still wearing shorts, but not enjoying it nearly as much as normal. I walk fast enough that I sweat even when it is cool out.

Woah, the professor was actually on time today! She passed out a three-point extra credit quiz and kept saying that it was easy--for once I agreed!

Apparently, I was the only one to put away my laptop during the quiz...
