Drugs
I keep telling myself that I am coming up on a period where I will need to work myself to death just to keep up. It is not quite here, but I can feel it looming. I think it will officially start when I start to teach and realize I need to bring 40 pages of teachable material with me twice a week.
I’ll have to sleep a lot less when this happens. Right now I am getting a solid eight hours a night and it is fantastic. I feel great, but it can’t last.
When things were rough earlier in the year my girlfriend would open a can of Amp Energy drink at around 9:45 to power us through until our customary 2:30 a.m. bedtime. It’s like drinking sweetened batter acid, but it really keeps you up. All the sugar will make you sort of bloated looking, but its possibly a fair trade off.
Some students in my girlfriend’s law class are taking their children’s ritalin on the sly so they can hone in on their work and really get something accomplished. It sounds like a great idea, but getting a prescription for an adult is hard and taking actual speed would probably kill me.
Also, a good diet and lots of exercise supposedly work wonders. Psshhhfff.
