Learning to enjoy the bitter.

As I have been following the prescribed "fake" medication for my anthropology class I have learned a couple things worth noting.

1. An entire packet of tropical punch Kool-Aid mixed into 8 ounces of water basically turns into something that pretty much looks exactly like blood. It's a very deep red and kinda thick in its consistency. I bet it might even leave a scab sort of thing behind if you let it dry out.

2. Fruity Tic-Tacs are nothing more than tiny, delicious candy. Though, no matter how delicious they may be, they have little effective power in cutting the bitter potency of the blood-like Kool-Aid.

3. Strangely, and I really did not expect this to happen, I am starting to actually like the ultra-bitter Kool-blood-Aid somehow. I don't know if it is because I am simply adapting(whether consciously or not) or if it was never actually that bad in the first place. I think it might be possible my mind told me it was awful to begin with so I just believed it and had a tremendously difficult time drinking the stuff in the beginning.

I suppose none of this really means anything of significance to most people but I felt like it needed to find a place in the annals of my history so here it is. I only have 4 more days of this stuff anyway. I should probably write up a final report when I am done to see if there were any further adaptive changes on my part. Maybe that is what would better justify this entry in the first place.
