Slowly succumbing to coffee. Been avoiding it for ages cause I didn't want to get hooked, now I'm drinking at least a cup daily, often two.

Now it's on to avoiding energy drinks.

Please, teachers, let me sleep. Let me freakin sleep.

I started two weeks ago! Only drink a (small) cup on days where I could use some more concentration. Often only a bit of sugar.

So far I quite like it, I'm starting to enjoy the taste. Most of the coffee around campus is Tim Hortons or Seattle shit, but yesterday I found a coffee place that has both good coffee and nice prices.

Oh don't get me wrong, i love the taste and there's this specific Starbucks (don't hate me) blend called Sumatra that will rock your socks-- drink enough and you'll be rocking in your socks too.

I just didn't want to get in the cycle of having to keep drinking coffee. However I'm kind of in a 'fuck it' state where I realize the calming effects of not caring. <clinks coffee mug>

Update: I found a bag of ground Sumatra beans. This is some nice coffee, man.

Hah, toldja! Oddly enough I think I might've gotten used to it or something and it stopped tasting good(?) Don't want to instill any stigma though, it's solid. There might be an "Aged" Sumatra reserve that is better, not sure though. Also works with any creamer, I highly higgghllly suggest Bailey's mudslide, and I say this as someone who takes my coffee black. Enjoy, my jittery sleepless friend.

I just asked at my local Starbucks for a Sumatra, but sadly they don't serve it here...regular black it is then.

Pick a vice and go with it. I'm down with coffee. I default to 2 cups a day but when I'm in the shit that's 4-6. Noting that "cups" are "mugs full" not the pussilanimous measure that coffee "cups" are because if we're judging by that, I default to 4 cups but when I'm in the shit it's more like 12.
