Can't reach to the bottom! I was still hungry... but I didn't have the energy to eat anything. And the party wasn't over and wouldn't be until 6am. It was really too loud to get to sleep.

I've always thought the Thirty Hour Famine sounded neat but never had an opportunity to do it. But soon after I get back to college from break our impact group is going to fast. The group's made up of several bible studies which minister to campuses around the area. We will fast from Friday to Saturday for the outreach that weekend. I'm worried I'll get really dizzy from not eating- does drinking sugar water sound like a good plan?
