I'm not tired but I need to sleep because I get way too tired during the day... a problem I've solved through my newest love. Americanos from Starbucks. Mmm... watered down espresso- doesn't get any better than that. I'm a little worried though, because it can't be healthy to consume five shots of espresso on a daily basis. Isn't caffeine bad for your skin or something? Not like tanning is any better. But, it does feel nice to not be pale anymore. North Carolina is like one giant paleness trap. You think you're okay, too, because everyone else there is pale but then you come to Fort Lauderdale where everyone is severly tan- due to a combination of the huge latino population and the fact that kids around here find the beach far more entertaining than homework or hell even going to school in the first place- and suddenly you feel like one big, overtired foreigner. Thus the Americanos and tanning. A deadly combination, but a neccesary one. I'm rambling so I think I'll stop after mentioning that "Chloe Does Yale" is an amazing book and it reminds me so much of Wake...
