(no subject)
I decided over the weekend that I was going to cut down on my caffeine consumption (I think it was Saturday, so I figured I would start Monday).
Monday my Arabic class was cancelled. I hadn't wanted to go in the first place, but I dragged myself out of bed and got there. So, I went to Soma, and I had a pint of coffee anyway.
I started out really well on Tuesday. I had a Yerba Mate instead of my normal pint of coffee. So... I was going strong until I had to go to stats. Then... it hit. Right before my stats lab, I got tired and the mid-afternoon slumps. So, I discovered the vending machine in the basement of Ballentine (didn't even know it was there!). And... I bought and drank a Vault. In the end, I probably had more caffeine than I would have if I had just had the damn coffee.
Yesterday. Same story. The Mate was working its magic until I had to go to Political Economy of Developing Countries. So, I had a Vault (from the glorious vending machines) and a cigarette. I was more interested in class, more awake, and just generally happy.
Today... I said fuck it, and started out the day with my usually high caffeine consumption. I am thinking about having some more. I think this is the end of my attempt and cutting back for a while. Goddam Coca-Cola and their new energy drink, Soma for its LL Cool J coffee, and me for being so highly reactive to caffeine or the lack thereof. Oh and damn my classes for being so interesting (or not).
