caffeine

my caffeine addiction is inconvenient on a morning that I am in a hurry.

this morning my body wanted sleep more than it wanted to wake up with the alarm. when I did wake up fully and jump in the shower there was not nearly enough time to make or stop to get coffee. all the way through first period I was yawning and dragging. I was also giving a quiz to my students, so I wasn't spending as much time on my feet...making me more and more and more tired.

luckily I had second period off and could run to get some caffeine to attack my fierce case of tiredness. The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf makes a drink called the "red-eye" and is made with coffee and three shots of espresso. this is just what the doctor ordered. I got the coffee and now I am a new person ready to start the day. I literally felt like a different person when I finished the coffee. Does this make my addiction unhealthy? should I attempt a certain amount of time without caffeine to see if I am truly addicted? either way, I think that I am more addicted to coffee and caffeine that I have ever been before...even in college. I think that it is an okay addiction, but just really inconvenient when I am in a hurry.
