Here's something you need to know about me: I very rarely drink caffeine. Unlike a good friend of mine who takes Pepsi almost intravenously, I drink only a couple of sodas a week to survive through my evening classes. However, today I had a ton of homework that absolutely, positively HAD to get done today, no slacking, no procrastinating, no exceptions. And of course I didn't feel like doing it 
So I started off the day drinking a cola, but for some reason it just wasn't getting me what I needed, so I went to my contingency plan: a couple of months ago they were giving away a ton of Venom energy drinks (seriously, the department managed to get like 4 cases of the stuff, that's a story in itself). And I ended up with about 5 of them in my refrigerator. Now you have to understand normally I'm super sensitive to caffeine, so usually the soda'd do it, but like I said, that plan wasn't working. So I tried the Venom. First off the stuff tastes awful, but I wasn't drinking it because I'm a conisuer. Because I never had one before and knew those things are more like drugs and less like food I only took about four sips. But yipes!
Anyone familiar with the Simpsons Episode where Apu lives with Homer, and in part of the episode a security tape shows Apu acting like a hummingbird? Well, that's a pretty accurate depiction of what I acted like. I was zipping around the house, straightening things, unable to sit still and work on the homework I took the Venom for in the first place. I still need to figure out how much I need to take in order to get alert, but not so much I run around the house like an over sugared 2 year old. And I still need to finish my homework XD
