Caffeine and the College Experience

Please forgive me if I spell anything wrong in this blog. I am currently shaking out of my skin, hyped up on caffeine and sugar in the form of blended starbucks goodness. I am finding this semester to be the hardest of my previous two because there is so much more demanding my attention. Therefore, coffee is a must. However, once the coffee is consumed, there seems to be an infinite amount of energy to burn before I can even think about sleeping during the night. Once I finally do get to sleep, my alarm seems to ring immediately and once again I need coffee to function.

Today I found it ironic that I am getting coffee to hype me up and then I go and come to a complete stop in class while I sit and take notes. Meanwhile, my heart is racing like it's going to beat out of my chest. Mondays are the hardest. I have school from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm, with a three hour break around dinner time.

Today, to expend energy, I doodled in my notebook and came up with all of the words my full name made. The top ones were: Berry, Yawn, Table, Barter, Angel (I knew it!), Regal, Gnat, Tangle, and Renewal. I was even frustrated that I am one c away from "Tabernacle." Even funnier in my next class I googled anagrams and there was a generator that would turn my name into its very own anagram! It turns out that Tawn Angela LaBarbera translates to: Large, able wart banana. Yep, this is what the school loans that I will have for the next 30 years have boiled down to. I think I just found the downer to counteract the caffeine...

Seriously, I have to go for a jog. Does anyone know what a heart attack feels like? I have a few guesses...
