Music & Sugar

Sometimes, you just need a lot more than eight hours of sleep and a bowl of cereal to get you through the day. {I'm growing concerned that these kind of days are happening to me a bit too often...}

I'm not a huge caffeine drinker - the most hardcore drink I order at Starbucks is a sweetened iced Chai tea. But lately, my mum's been drinking a lot of coffee herself in the mornings before she goes off to work, and of course this gives me the impression that I would look considerably badass if I showed up to first period sipping my very own French roast in a cute little thermos.

So since I have a few more minutes to stay home Tuesday mornings, I brewed myself a coffee... And an Earl Grey tea. Loaded both with sugar and honey, respectively. Chugged the brew on the car ride to school, downed the tea within the first hour of class.

I'm feeling pretty alert by now. In fact, I'm alert enough in second period to remember I had a huge stash of Hershey's mini nuggets and Gobstoppers in my lunch... Can you tell where this story is headed now? I be poppin' sugar pills til my head hurts.

I did make it out of school alive, if not a little schizophrenic and ADHD. Now I just so happen to be simmering down to a splendid little soundtrack... {Highly reccomended for those who can't stop tossing and turning in their sleep}

Learn from my mistake - never consume so much sugar and caffeine in such a short amount of time {I will admit though, being kindergartener-hyper was pretty fun!}
