Hangover

Last night I did a stupid thing. I wrote 3,000 words on an essay with a 4,000 word limit. This is bad because I only have half the body of the essay. I still have the other book to write about, my introduction, my conclusion, my abstract, footnotes, end notes, general notes and God knows what else.

Now how did I manage to write 3,000 words in a space with less than 31 hours with 11 hours sleep?

Caffeine. I drank well over a liter and a half of coke and so even though I finished the essay at 3, I was up until 5.30. I cleaned my room. Then messed it up so I could clean it again, I read a newspaper, I did some sudukos, played noughts and crosses against myself, didn't always win... That's quite impressive.

Trouble is, the caffeine is killing me. I've got a hangover from it: I feel dizzy, sick, dehydrated, disorientated, my head is throbbing... I generally feel like I've been run over with a train. See I very rarely drink and this is the main reason. That and the control freak thing.

Well you know, power on (but slowly so I don't throw up), there's plenty more homework to do, best get typing.
