just wait and see

I used to work with a heap of people who would always complain how they slept really bad, but within 5 minutes of that statement they would crack open their fourth energy drink for the day. I also know a lot of people who use coffee to push through the crazy amount of study that their course requires of them; more than a couple of them have caffeine withdrawal symptoms and can’t sleep without it.

Anyway I don’t drink coffee, haven’t had an energy drink this year, probably have had 1 coke in the last month. My resistance to the stuff would be really low. Then I make a really smart decision before going into my last exam and drink one of those 500ml Red Bulls. I sat down and while waiting for the paper to be handed out realised I couldn’t sit still. Then my hands started shaking. I guarantee if anyone looked at my eyes they would have been dilated.

After the exam was done I had a killer headache and needed to drink a heap of water to rehydrate. This is from only one can.

So yeah caffeine sucks, and I am pretty against it. However I would like to recognise the positive aspects; I finished my exam pretty quickly and my brain was working at 200%.
