So I spent the last 10 minutes discussion a complex dilemma with Indie C and Nerdy B regarding my energy levels and whether or not I should try to make it to that Probability class (I know, 4th week of classes and I’m already trying to play hooky). When we finally decided that I should try to get to class, we had to explore other options of keeping me awake. It went down in a pretty ridiculous fashion…
Indie C: I think you should get coffee and go to class.
Me: Ok… but I’d hate to crash from coffee… and it’s like 6 o’clock already.
C: Well, then, just get some tea.
M: Tried that.. and I still almost fell asleep in Java. Why don’t I get decaf coffee?
Nerdy B: Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?
M: No! I mean, I just want a little bit of caffeine, since I’m not used to it… there is still a small amount of caffeine in decaf! They can’t get all of it out.
B: Yeah, but I don’t think trace amounts actually count.
M: Well, I’m pretty sensitive to caffeine… and plus, placebo effect, hello?!
C: You’re trying to get caffeinated from decaf? That is so messed up.
Eventually, after more back-and-forths and me laughing my ass off because I’m stupid like that, I finally got some hot chocolate. Yum.
