Motive #3: Education

When I was younger, I was at a church summer camp (that actually happened during May long) and decided that I was going to take as many showers in a day as I could.  The rule was I couldn't take back to back showers.  I actually had to do something in between showers.  The site had a gym and so we'd play basketball before breakfast and after breakfast and before lunch and then we'd do group activities after lunch and then more basketball before dinner and etc., .  Anyways, I took 7 showers in one day.  It started to really hurt.  My skin was getting pretty raw.  Refer to motive #2 here.

What is education?  Is education learning facts or is education an experience?  I learned that 7 showers in one day is too many showers.  I've already started learning a lot preparing for this crazy vegan month.  I've learned that I need B12 supplements cause I can't really get it anywhere else.  I learned that spinach is rich in iron but your body doesn't really absorb any of it.  I learned how much almond milk cost when on sale at Superstore.  Those are the facts I've learned so far.  **Disclaimer... all nutrition "facts" are loose facts because everything seems to be in dispute.

Come November, I'll get an education in what it's like to be "vegan" and I'll actually taste the almond milk, but I'll save words on that for later.  Peace out.
