it is entirely possible to babble for 2.5 hours at a slightly o.0 roommate about the seven topics of my final exam. my academic is perhaps not as rusty as i thought.

enough caffeine in my system messes with my balance somewhat [increased tendency to lean on things in order to see them/focus on things past them], and exaggerates my startle reflex.

fortunately the doorbell rang while i wasn't close to anything.

school really does bring out the inner college student; grocery run recently netted a 12-pack of beer, a 12-pack of red bull, a case of caffeine-free diet dr. pepper, and five vitamin waters. should've gotten more ofthe waters; i made the roommate make tea today so i wouldn't drink a third red bull in the space of three hours because i was thirsty.

also we just ordered pizza, hence the doorbell thingy. mmm, carbohydrates.

the idea that context is everything is really serving me well in this class; everything's linked to everything else and you can't ignore sociopolitical contexts for 'science'.

Yes, water is a good thing.

Leaded tea is a diuretic too, so more thirsty. There's dry flavor packets you can add to water that don't have various nasty things like dyes and nutrasweet etc., usually at health food stores or natural food grocery stores round here.
I've been fighting myself to stop drinking heavily-leaded Earl Gray and switch to camomile or ginger or something else usefully herbal to help water go down in hoarse coldbug-damaged throat.
