Just wanted to say that I was LOL at your description of your reaction to fasting. I have never tried fasting, though I usually don't get dizzy or anything when I don't eat for a day or so, but I rarely forget to drink, even when I'm not in the mood to eat, so maybe that makes a difference.

FWIW for example in high school (I notice less people fasting in college, both because there seems to be a much lower percentage of Muslim students and because there are just more people who you know less and have less contact with) those who were fasting during Ramadan didn't seem too enthused about the fasting itself either, unlike for example about the meals during the evening or the festivities at the end of Ramadan. It probably didn't help that the school didn't make any allowances, neither with tests and exams nor with PE, as far as I could see (though some teachers tried to be considerate with scheduling tests and such during Ramadan as much as was possible).
