New friends on the horizon and Paul getting to spend some time with Savvy for a lunch outing. He's In good hands with Savvy, I feel like she will protect him at all costs because she has a genuine love for him. Cant wait to see where the next chapters are gonna take us. Bravo frosty. -
Thank you to @DprBoySissyWI and @Parkin for reading my drafts and suggesting improvements. Chapter 21: Back to University Lucas was fast asleep when Clara came into his room on Monday morning at a quarter to seven. He was lying on his stomach, and she sat down on the bed and placed a hand on the back of his neck, happy to have someone to wake up. He didn’t start to wake until Clara began running her hand up and down his back. He turned his head so he could see her and mumbled, "That feels nice." “Good morning, Lucas!” Clara replied. “You need to get up and get ready for class. Should I make you some oatmeal today?” “Good morning. Yes, please. That would be great.” “Stay in bed for a moment first, and I’ll unzip your pajamas.” “Hmm.” Once the zipper was open, she patted him on the back. “Now get up.” “Okay, Clara.” She rose from the bed and opened the closet to pick out an outfit for Lucas for the day, while he got up and headed for the bathroom. A good ten minutes later, Lucas was sitting at the breakfast table with Daniel. Clara served Lucas oatmeal with blueberries. "I don’t want to cook for you every morning, but today is special since it’s the start of the first normal week at the university," Clara said. “Thanks, Clara. That’s nice. I’m also in a bit of a hurry. I’d like to leave at 7:20. I found out on Thursday that it takes longer to bike than we thought because of rush-hour traffic.” "Oh, Lucas. You should have said something sooner, but we'll make it in time. Should I pack you a lunch while you eat?" "Thanks, but you don't have to. I can buy something at the cafeteria. Come eat your own meal with us." She did. They enjoyed breakfast together, and soon Lucas was on his way. Traffic was lighter than it had been the previous Thursday, and he arrived at the university well ahead of time. Several of the students were chatting in the hallway outside their geology classroom. Lucas, Saskia, and Stef were discussing when they could meet to work on their two field reports. They had classes until three o'clock both that day and the next, so they agreed instead to meet at Lucas’s place on Wednesday, when they’d be finished by noon and have more time to work in the afternoon. Saskia told Lucas that her husband, Paul, would like to talk to him first if he was still willing to babysit their son Kim this coming Friday and stay overnight. Lucas hadn't changed his mind, and Saskia said the three of them could meet and talk during their lunch break the following day. Paul would pick them up on campus at noon and drive them to a restaurant for lunch. Most students entered the classroom a few minutes before eight. Without thinking, Lucas sat down in the same seat next to Mia that he had sat in last time. Don Kingston gave another intense lecture until the break at ten o’clock. After the break, he talked about what he expected from their field reports. First, he outlined what the reports should include, and then he got more technical. The reports were to be submitted electronically as PDF files. They were free to decide how to create them, but he strongly recommended that they use Overleaf. It was a web-based text editor that allowed multiple people to write in the same document simultaneously. What was new to them was that they would now be editing plain text files where special text tags were used to specify the function of the various parts of the text. For example, there were codes for headings, highlighted text, quotations, references, and for inserting images and captions, among many other things. The markup language was called LaTeX, and from the LaTeX files, they could then generate the final PDF document. Overleaf also supported a version control system called Git, so they could always revert to previous versions if errors occurred or something had been deleted. It could also serve as a backup in case a computer broke down. It would take some learning to get started, but once they were familiar with LaTeX, it would be easier to work with than a standard word processor, Don promised. Lucas, Saskia, and Stef agreed to use Overleaf, and Don helped them get started and provided documents describing the basic features. After class, ten of the twelve students in the class went to the physics cafeteria in the neighboring building. Some had brought food with them, while others bought it at the cafeteria. Lucas wasn’t impressed with the selection and decided he might as well pack his own lunches from now on. After lunch, they had Academic Writing and Scientific Method until three o'clock. They took the course together with the new geography and biology students in a lecture hall at the Department of Biology. Their instructor, Leslie Knuth, began with academic writing, which provided further guidance on structuring their reports. After getting home, Lucas started on his homework. He began by reading the first of the two chapters in his Introduction to Geology textbook with material Don had already covered in his lectures, and answered some of the comprehension questions at the end of the chapter. Then he read through the handouts they had been given about Overleaf and LaTeX. He wasn’t sure he’d understood everything, but he couldn’t handle any more reading that day. It wasn’t long until dinner, so he lay down on his bed to relax. Daniel called him at six o’clock when it was time to eat. After having fish cakes, it was time for Lucas’s first club night at his new chess club, which started at seven. He rode his bike back to the university where the meeting was being held. After the president’s welcome, one of the club’s strongest players—an International Master—analysed a chess game he had played in a tournament earlier that year. He explained the reasoning behind the moves and challenged the audience to identify the various opportunities and threats that had arisen along the way in the game. Lucas found it very educational. After the presentation, there was free blitz chess and conversation among those in attendance. Lucas played with several different partners until shortly after 9:30, when he went home. He was home by ten o’clock and went straight to bed. He had previously agreed with Clara that they would talk about how things were going at the university every evening after she had put him to bed, but he was surprised at how seriously Clara took it. She brought a notebook and wrote down, for each course, what Lucas needed to do. She would check each item off when he was done, making sure everything was completed on time. It felt a bit intrusive that she wanted to keep track of his work that way, but he’d asked her to do it himself, so he couldn’t complain. And he was glad that it would probably keep him from falling behind. Clara suggested that she wake him up fifteen minutes earlier the next morning, which he agreed to. Finally, she gave him a goodnight kiss on the forehead and left. After a long but satisfying day, Lucas quickly fell asleep. -

I can absolitely confirm this is true. Many of the Chinese clone diapers use WAY too much SAP. Especially the ones claiming 5,000+ml. But when the SAP swells up enough it will clog the padding. That prevents wicking, which leads to one oversaturated area while the rest of the diaper stays bone dry. And of course that leads to premature leaks before the diaper reaches any real capacity. Often, that capacity -before leaking- is under 2,000ml. Interestingly, the absolute best diaper for wicking is Northshore Supreme. It uses zero SAP, and as such has a phenominal ability to wick pee to 100% of the diaper. It doesn't even leak with the occasional flood. Unfortunately it doesn't have a very thick pad, so it's usable capacity before leaking is about 2,500ml.
