Impractical insomnia.
I should not have coffee. Why oh why did I drink coffee?!
For most people I know, coffee is a mild stimulant that they imbibe in copious amounts in order to desperately stay awake.
For me, coffee makes my brain and heart race, my appetite continuous, my stomach a little queasy, and my emotions a little crazy.
Senior year of college, I was up to about 4-5 cups of coffee a day. I cut myself off, however, and switched to tea when I arrived here.
Occasionally, I still have coffee. One example of this is today. I had one and a half cups. Hence, why I am blogging at 2:30 in the a.m. Coffee...ah, coffee...it keeps me very awake, and a little disturbing if you are with me at the time. Today, the limited amount made me a little jumpy.
I don't feel ready for bed.
I really do have a lot of work to do tomorrow.
I came home about half an hour ago, and began to ponder what types of sleep aids I have in the apartment. Musing over the items in the cabinets, I went over to the fridge and looked at a bottle of wine that my old roomate left before she moved. I grabbed the cork for a second, and thought...nahhhh and put the bottle back.
What else do people use to sleep?
Warm milk, sleeping pills, soothing lavender...all of these things I do not have in my apartment.
I have instead, foods that are high in sugar content, tea, and
...coffee.
Oh well, I shall try to sleep now in the hopes that tomorrow I will not feel extremely exhausted.
Remind me not to have coffee.
Choosing a Lab
I have not chosen a lab yet.
Most of the BMI first years have, but I'm in a pickle. It is a luxury, I know. All of the labs I have rotated are great, but I still don't feel right choosing one. An excerpt from my confusion lies below, in a gtalk chat with my friend David.
Tiffany: Dude
