Coffee, Tea or Zzzz??

I learnt a very tiring lesson last night about my caffeine tolerance. I had a nice cup of iced caramel latte at about 7pm yesterday before working on my EECS project. Next thing I know, I was up all night trying to get some shut eye. My mind was just as if it were on steroids. I guess this doesn’t really count as a case of insomnia because it is drug induced.

I am actually aware of my low tolerance towards caffeine. Usually drinking teh ping late at night at the mamak's will result in me greeting my mom at 5am in the morning when she wakes up for school. But I thought it wouldnt be so bad since I took my latte at 7pm.

Amazingly, I stayed up until my alarm rang at 8.30am and I actually made it to class on time. Staying awake for one and a half hours of dry math isn’t a walk in the park but I did it. Once I got home, I plunked myself into my comfy bed and dozed for three hours.

My system is really messed up now, because of the alterations in my biological clock. I’m semi-lethargic now and it’s about 3.45pm. I just hope I can stay awake for some revision tonight. Dinner will consist of fish curry, veggies and a fried egg.

My parents made it safely home from their vacation in China/Hong Kong. They were nice enough to email me some pictures from the trip. Always nice to get a piece of something from back home.
