pfff- i can do that...easy as pie

The days of the week i start class later, 1130am instead of 830am, i cringe as i walk to the bathroom to take a shower. I know there will be no hot water. We're out by 9am- 930 if you're lucky. So as I wait in vain for the ice cold water to get a hint of warmth, I mentally prepare myself to take on the frigged blast; and as I'm about to take that first step beneath the unforgiving wake up call, I can't help but think of the Buddhist Monks i saw on National Geographic who mediate for hours under ice cold waterfalls.

It makes me buck up for my 4 minute shower, but really I'm thinking- how in the WORLD they do it.
