zesty_pintoApparently, you can zombify anyone with the proper allotment of caffeine.
My final final (hee hee, redundancy!) was one I was a bit apprehensive of due to the sheer amount of novels I read for this class. I read through a good number of them, and I reread half of them (groan), so I felt at least somewhat confident. Still, all the same, I also knew I needed something to pep me up because it was cold and I felt a little worn from rereading Winesburg, Ohio for the third time, so I went to Dunkin Donuts for a large chai.
The final I think I did okay in (translation: I'm going to at least pass in it), but by the time I went out with some friends to hang out, I was beginning to feel the effects of the caffeine.
Okay, I know a 16ou. cup is hardly a huge amount, but I should also add that I've been keeping myself away from caffeine for the last few weeks in order to make sure that when I drink it, it'll work. By the time it was 8pm and I was suffering from a neck cramp, I was tired so I went to bed early.
-but I couldn't go to sleep.
See, I also had a stomachache, but I attributed it to some chinese I had, as well as a headache which I thought connected to the final. At 10pm when I was tossing and turning, I finally realized that I made myself hypersensitive and I just gave myself more than twice of what I should have taken.
What promptly came after was something I'd expect to be portrayed in movies as a "bad trip." The big thing for me was a sort of defect in thought expression. I found that whatever I typed came out as one word off or one word too many, or I would put words in the wrong order the moment I let my mind go on unconscious control. In the meantime, I drank as much water as possible to force that evil substance out of my system This sort of annoyance continued until it was 1 and the effects of the caffeine finally sedated itself enough for me to go to bed and sleep off the neck cramp.
Let this be a lesson to us all: like those billboards we see for alcoholic products, caffeine should be used responsibly. At least, if you make yourself really susceptible to the stuff.
