I just went in for my physical today for Africa and it brought on a flashback to early elementary school. I've never been much into sports, so the last time I had a full physical would have been for coaches' pitch or soccer or something back in the little years.
Anyways, I figured out that the day of that last physical was quite possibly the last time I ever drank Mountain Dew, by choice at least. I remember scarfing down a sandwich and a ton of Doritos with a Mountain Dew before we left for the doctor's office and the urinalaysis people telling me I needed to drink less Mountain Dew, etc. Blah, blah, blah...I listened. I moved to the brown sodas and have never enjoyed flourescent sodas since.
So, this time, I didn't think to cheat the system and drink a lot of water ahead of time; in fact I didn't eat anything all day and I can't remember what I had to drink, if anything, so when I came in the doctor's office and peed while waiting for my appointment, I didn't think at all about how I was wasting my precious sample pee. A huge glass of ice water and 20 minutes later, I finally filled the tiny cup.
(gross.)
