Many people speak of the effects of coffee and chances are 8 out of 10 people you meet are coffee lovers, or they drink it at least once a day.
For those who know, I stay away from caffeine as much as I can coz I tend to fidget and get ‘high’ throughout the day if I happen to have a cup of coffee. Yes, my caffeine tolerance is THAT low…you should see me taking alcohol, but that’s another story altogether=)
Anyway, coke or tea used to work just fine to keep me awake when I was burning the midnight oil or when classes are extremely early in the morning. It gave me just the right amount for the refreshing start that I needed.
But recently, as I started working, I find myself being sleepy and restless ALL the time. Before you start making remarks of what a pig I am (and have always been=p), I feel the need to justify my ‘condition’. You see, I have to face my computer for nearly 10 hours looking at documents and doing research with NO social connections (email doesn’t count, who uses that to chat anyway?) to the outside world!
All work and no play makes Gwen a very bored soul…
Well, guess what? One fine day, I finally found a ‘cure’ to my condition and that’s none other than…COFFEE! Yup, I finally gave it a try and did not turn back ever since then. With my limited tolerance level, half a cup in the morning can keep me wide awake and alert the entire day! WHOO!
I’m amazed with the results and proud to say that I am finally a coffee drinker! Hehe…
