elvendollyesterday was a good day:
i got out of work at the time i should be getting out of work to make it to class on time
between traffic being light and the weather being nice, i had the time and desire to park my car at home and walk to class.
as i was walking, i was lamenting the lack of drinkables, both on campus and on the walk over, when my eye caught a dunkies across the street! i dashed in there, got my first cup of iced coffee of the season! yay to being hydrated and caffienated for class!
i may write more on this later, but right now, the word from class is value.
i think the professor is starting to grow on me - i'm getting used to the awkward mannerisms as he reads the lectures and while i still think the questions he throws out for class discussion are too surface-level, they do get conversation going, and that breaks up the class nicely.
i really need to catch up on the reading.
i find it really weird that he makes no obvious mention of the readings in class, and am confused about how the midterm will be. he's so laid back i'd almost guess that it'd be an easy test, but we have a 15 page paper due in may, which just isn't a laid-back length.
after class, i walked over to main st. to have yummy indian with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sol3 and then we went to his place with hopes of scrabble and the l word and got quiet time in his room instead.
sol3 mentioned that when i'm in school, i tend to put a lot of things on hold. only i don't mean to do that - its the result of the nearly constant anxiety i have when taking classes. and i'm not exactly sure about how to fight this.

a total sidenote
Date: 2004-03-04 07:57 am (UTC)as much as i love iced coffee (mmm sugar!), i am curious - does coffee actually HYDRATE you? it's a diuretic and at first for me it gives the illusion of having liquid in my body but then after a while the drying/purging effects take hold and i feel like im gonna die. woo! i love caffeine. my friend keith can drink coffee and feel fine with the "water" intake for the day. weird. i guess everybody's different.
Re: a total sidenote
Date: 2004-03-04 08:01 am (UTC)& coffee is hydrating - for a while.
while drinking coffee isn't as hydrating as drinking water, it's still better then not drinking anything at all.
...then again, i tend to get most of my liquid intake from tea...
Re: a total sidenote
Date: 2004-03-04 08:32 am (UTC)yeah thats true that its better than not drinking anything... and i drink plenty of coffee to know that its got a mildly hydrating feel... but i also know that 2 hours later if i dont drink water, i go a little nuts. the only reason i stopped getting headaches (migraines too) is because i bring water everywhere with me (remember andy's 60 oz bottle of water that he carried around everywhere? haha) + the gym forces me to drink the alloted daily "requirement" thank god.
