So, as you may know, I gave up coffee during finals period after my stomach was really starting to hurt. I thought it'd be good to give it up for the summer. But then I realized that summer for me ended on June 15 (classes started). So, gulp, maybe I shouldn't feel guilty for now drinking coffee again?My day starts early, I have a lot to do, and summer heat-sun-humidity make me sleepy. I'm pretty sure I also use it to bribe myself to get out of bed and go running. I'd rather be addicted to running and coffee than not addicted to either one. And, there are worse things upon which to be dependent. Mmm.. and it just tastes so good. Thus -- I resolved to spend less money and be realistic about my wee, tiny, ity-bitty aid for making it through my long days. I purchased a lovely 3-cup french press! This will be great, too, because I can't make coffee at home AND bike to school with it. So, I plan on leaving this in my "stuff" locker (as opposed to my "books" locker -- and yes, at law school we have lockers). Voila! This is what my press looks like. $14.99 at Targe-ay.
Congratulations on making editor! Good luck with the exam. I know you will do a great job!
ReplyDeleteI also bribe myself to get out of bed using coffee!! And the french press in particular. Check out the travel french press at bodum online. It is cheap and you can put a picture inside the travel mug to personalize it! (It's a coffee thermos with built in mini french press--I highly recommend it!). I think it costs $8.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, as long as you taper the coffee-drinking when your stomach hurts (also my problem) you should be ok.
