This is why I no longer drink soda.

Today, Allison, John and I all went out to dinner at this nice Chinese restaurant by Best Buy. It was really good!

However, for the first time in a loooonnngggggg time, I drank soda. Mountain Dew, to be exact.

Now I have nothing against any soda products, I just dislike them intensely.

Why?

Because I feel soooo much more awake, even after drinking only 1/2 a glass! Ahh!

It’s not that I feel antsy or a bouncing-off-the-walls-like-a-teenager sort of feeling, but just more…awake.

For example, it is almost 1AM, and although I KNOW I am tired (I took a small nap earlier today because I literally just could not keep my eyes open any longer) - I know that I cannot go to sleep for probably another hour or so.

It is just soda that makes me this way, too - Caffeine-Free or Caffeine-Filled, no matter what type of soda it is I just feel so awake after taking a few sips. This “awake” feeling doesn’t normally hit me until it’s 11:30 at night and I’m sitting here thinking, “I don’t feel the slightest bit tired AT ALL”.

Personally, I find it annoying and ridiculous.

So I bet you all are thinking now “Why in the hell did she get Mountain Dew in the first place?!”

Well, I was kind of hoping that I would have gotten over this phase by now (Hell, I hadn’t drunken any soda for a lonnnngggg time, remember?) and been able to taste soda again without any consequences.

Big. Mistake.

I just want to go to sleep.

Okay, now I feel better after getting all of that out in the open in my previous post.

If you have no idea what I am talking about, I suggest you read this:

With a Grain of Salt

However, nothing else will ever be mentioned from me about that subject. My friends made important and (to me) obvious statements, so therefore I feel it is time for the comments to be closed.

Anywayssss - So today went pretty well. I realized that I have wayyy more homework than was ever expected. I just finished with an ER Diagram for my 378 class - ah, the joy. That class I’m the only female, and in my other ITK class (ITK 272) I’m one of oh, three women - out of about 30 people.

It doesn’t matter what the observations are, as long as I can do the work - which I think I can.

So Blogger has changed - A LOT.

Apparently they are moving to use the Google Accounts instead of using a “Blogger Account” (because, duh, Google owns Blogger). Anyways they said they would e-mail me when they finished moving all of my blogs.

And that took TEN SECONDS LONGER than I had EVER expected! (Okay, end sarcasm) ;-)

So my floor this year is a GIANT pain in my ass. I have people who live on my floor who seem to be all friends and stand right outside of my room talking in extremely loud and abnoxious voices.

The leader of this group is named “Ed”, and he is one of those people who has to be friends with EVERYONE.

Okay so you know when you meet someone, and you both know immidiately that you will never, EVER get along? Yeah, that’s how Ed and I are. I think if we were both put in the same room with no way out, we would end up killing each other. Yes, our personalities clash THAT much.

Anyways he is obviously the loudest and most obnoxious one of all, during all hours of the day and night. I just wish he would be a LITTLE quieter so that I could concentrate on my homework a little easier.

This semester is going to be interesting…
