When I saw this task I thought it would be a wonderful way to spend 30 minutes and signed up for it. I then began to think of what I could do with it. I decided the foremost thing was to take a bath.

Part 1: The bath

So, I had planned to spend the entire time in the bath, carefully observing my body, both inside and out. most of the things I discovered I already knew, but there are a few things that surprised me.

1. My feet seem to be the most heat sensitive part of my body (with the exception of my face, which I didn't dunk in the water)
2. I breath roughly 9 times per minute at rest (not sure how accurate this is as I was timing it which always changes how you breath. Fun fact, when breathing in the bath tub the water helps to lift up you chest as your lungs expand.
3. When I am in the bath, the ringing in my right ear seems to go away.
4. My attention span is really bad, I mean, I planned to spend the whole time in the bath, but after 5 minutes I was already getting board. My dad tells me I have, or had, ADHD but I don't really believe that. However maybe I should reconsider.

So after failing at spending the whole time in the bath I decided to move onto other parts of my body.

Part 2: hair.

So, after gettting out of the bath I noted that I needed to shave, which gave me an idea. Fetching a pair of tweezers I began to pluck out one hair from just about every part of my body that grew it. head, sideburns, beard, mustache, nose, eyebrow, chest, armpit, belly, pubic, thigh, shin, foot, and arm hair were all plucked. Here's what I noted.

1. Nose hair was, by far, the most painful/sensitive. I think this is because the nose has a lot of give to it so it takes a lot more to pull the hair out. Also having a forign object inside the nose makes everything a bit worse...I sneezed a lot afterwards.
2. After face hair. The top of the foot is the most sensitive. Surprisingly public hair is not all that sensitive.
3. My massive birthmark on my shin in neither more or less sensitive than the rest of my shin, not surprising, but fun to test.



Having finished plucking my hair I felt I had a little more time to play around with and looked outwards, specifically outside.

Part 3: Cold

Today it snowed briefly, so I knew it would be cold. I threw on some pants and a short sleved shirt and headed outside without any shoes. Here's what I noticed.

1. Walking on cold ground is a lot like wading into a pool. I naturally go up on the balls of my feet to minimize how much of my foot is touching the ground. When I forced my feet to be flat it wasn't even that bad and my feet began to adjust to the cold.
2. This was, by far, the coolest thing I discovered during the entire half hour I spent carefully monitoring. When I had my feet pressed to the cold pavement outside I felt a cramp coming on in my right foot. I froze not wanting to aggrivate it and hoped it would pass quickly. But then I thought about it for a second. I could feel the entire muscle running through my foot tightening up and I realized that it wasn't one of the random cramps. It was my muscles constricting to try to conserve the heat that was left in my foot. I just thought that was really cool and had never actually noticed my body doing it before.
