Do you guys really have to go on posting these yummy things around? I mean if there's a way we can EAT them from the computer screen, then thats perfectly alright, but otherwise, it is not!  |

@ Sinbad: ;D Can imagine. When still being in primary school one of my dear friends lived next to the school, too. She pretty much was falling out of the bed and into the school - after all she had to walk 60 metres at most. And she had been envied by everone, too. x)

Sinbad: Sexy Mr. Sandman. Is that your boyfriend or you husband? And, Coke is not a very good source of caffeine. Technically, it is just high-fructose corn syrup diluted with water. A few milliliters of syrup can make 10 coke bottles. No wonder why Coka Cola Company makes so much money. Try mixing sugar with water. It tastes just as good and can save you a lot of money.
Rhyad: Try drinking some wine, say one glass, in a minute. Don't drink too much to fast, because you could get alcohol poisoning. This should do it. In an hour, you should get really sleepy. And don't drink coffee every day, or you could become imune to it, and therefore will have to seek out a stronger coffee or will have to drink more. This is what the coffee companies want. The more you come, the more money they make.
Doubar: When you said Tia, I thought you were referring to me. Many people write my name like that. Its Tai, T-a-i.

Ha ha ha! Sexy Mr Sandman!
Haven't you heard of him, Firouz? He's a little jolly man, some even say he's a faery, or an elf, and he visits you every night, making you slip into the realm of dreams with nothing more than a sprinkle of sand...

It's already morning over there? *Looks at the time conversions Sinbad wrote at the bottom: Let's see, if it is 1:20 am here then there is about 7.5 hours till 9 am, meaning that time in Germany would be 7.5 hours before 3 pm. Thus, it would 7:30 in the morning over there.* Hope you slept well though. Did you meet sexy Mr. Sandman?

Well, your lucky. I usually only get 5 or 6 on school days. Last night I got 4 and I took a three-hour nap earlier. I have to stay up and study for my ES quiz and ARE test. Whoopy do.
There are several coffee shops on campus, but I am trying to avoid coffee, only taking it when I need to. I may stop by in the morning to get one so I don't fall asleep in class. My professor threatened that if he catches someone sleeping he would throw an empty water bottle at them.

Just was a little curious about caffeine. It says that caffeine was first isolated by the the German chemist Friedrich Ferdinand Runge in 1819, another reason why I should learn German. My chemistry adviser said the knowing German could be very helpful in chemistry, since some of the older journals are only written in German.
Heavy daily caffeine use — more than 500 to 600 mg a day, or about four to seven cups of coffee — can cause:
• Restlessness
• Anxiety
• Irritability
• Muscle tremors
• Sleeplessness
• Headaches
• Nausea, diarrhea or other gastrointestinal problems
• Abnormal heart rhythms
Finally, it says that “a number of studies have shown that as little as 2 or 3 cups of brewed coffee every day during pregnancy can result in lowered infant birthweight.”
