Oh, caffeine...
So, first of all, I have decided that I would fail college without the help of our favorite stimulant: Mr. Caffeine. Secondly, I have discovered that marvelous Mr. Caffeine, despite keeping me awake until the wee hours of the morning (which is clearly demonstrated on the time tag of this entry), is pretty much rejected by my body.
The feeling of a caffeine buzz is perhaps one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever experienced. I would say it is right up there with awkward sexual or drunken encounters. I feel like a crack addict; the shakes, the sweats, the jerky movements, and the undeniable inability to form a single conscious train of thought (not like I could actually do that before caffeine, anyway, but still).
Do you think it is weird for me to think that I actually write better at night when I can barely even see straight? Because, honestly, I think I can....or maybe I do not care enough to notice that I suck. Whatever, ignorance is bliss, right?
Gah, I knew I had something more insightful to say, but Mr. Caffeine has stolen yet another of my thoughts. Hmm...caffeine*s effect on memory...I feel an idea for a future area of research coming on....
OH! i was going to comment on finally understanding how Sara has functioned on little/no sleep for the past few years. Yes, she definitely was miserable, but your body really does get used to it after a while. I feel my mind, however, is adjusting poorly to sleep deprivation; moodiness, lack of concentration...I feel like I am constantly walking around a hazy world, but I can still manage to walk myself to class every day. Weird...I miss sleep....Maybe if I were narcoleptic I could survive here in college...I would get more sleep and have a legitimate excuse for not getting homework done.
Curse the evolutionary pathway that favored those who needed so much sleep! GAH!
Zzzzzzz.
