Of Caffeine Highs and Not Enough Sleep

This results in me nearly falling asleep during one of the three back-to-back morning class of today. Apologies to the profs- I was trying to listen, honest!

On a related note, when will Prov learn to make a high-octane cup of coffee? Seriously, had to go to Niverville for a decent shot of caffeine.

By the way, the little coffee/jewellery/whatever else shop in Niverville, which I believe was called "Where U Bean?", makes a mean caramel-vanilla iced latte. Almost as good as their chai lattes.

Which means I'd better avoid that coffee shop in the future, or I'm going to be even more broke than I already am, and a good deal chubbier. Then again, Tim Horton is already becoming my new dark master...

Anyway. I suppose I'd better talk about something other than coffee to fill my word quota for this post.

First day of classes-that-are-not-double-blocks went rather well. Even though it's going to be at 8:30 on Monday and Thursday morning (I can see you wincing from here. The sympathy's appreciated.) I think I'm rather excited for the Social Psychology course. It sounds like one of the future careers that I'm considering in the back of my mind (right with criminal psychology and trauma/suicide counselling), so I'm excited to learn about how society thinks. (Or doesn't think, as the case may be. I mean, society DID make Twilight and Justin Bieber famous. I blame the teenage girls of modern-day society for that.)

Intro to Psych sounds fascinating as well. And it's kinda required. But hey- psychology! And once I finish Intro to Psych, I get to take Abnormal Psychology and figure out what's wrong with me! And Judaic Studies just sounds interesting.

Not so excited to be handwriting all the notes for two classes, however. But what can one do, I s'ppose?

In other news, the heat wave is evidently reaching all the way from Otterburne to Alberta, with 30+ C temperatures predicted for the weekend. Which means another few days of Upper Kindred being ridiculously hot to the point that all the residents are making friends in the basement that we can go chill with. (Pun completely intended.) And if the profs wonder why we Upper K girls are staggering around in an exhausted manner, it's because our dorm is too hot to comfortably sleep in.

Could be worse, though. At least we only have to climb one short set of stairs- unlike my friend at Red Deer College, who's got four floors in a heat wave to climb. My sympathies to her.

And just think, in a couple of months, the temperatures are going to be at the opposite end of the spectrum and we're going to be complaining about the cold. Oh, joy. *ducks the boos*

And now I'm going to go crawl back into the lair with a cold Pepsi (Along with teaching the caf to make a strong cup o' java, we should also point out the errors of their ways and replace the Coke with Pepsi. Can I get an amen?), my possessed laptop and some textbooks. Come bang on my door if you want me to be sociable again... or if you just want to stare at the Aragorn or Will Turner posters on my wall. Whichever.
