Caffiene in the form of Coffee

I have Biology Monday/Wednesday/Friday this semester at 9 am. This is not too early, but it is still a drag especially cause I find myself going to sleep at 2 to 3 in the morning every night. It is unfortunate that Biology is my first class on these days because I inevitably fall asleep in class every time. This being the case, I have missed huge chunks of info in class when I doze off. I feel behind and confused when it comes to doing the biology homework because of material that I may have missed. So I had to change what I was doing. This morning I woke up 50 to 40 minutes before class instead of the usual 30 to 20 minutes before. I got ready and went out the door with enough time to go grab a caffeinated coffee beverage from Starbucks. I drank it on the way to class and over the first few minutes of class. It was wonderful because I felt up and alert. I did not even think about falling asleep. I am going to incorporate the Starbucks stop into every one of my mon./wed./fri. mornings as well as trying to get to bed a little earlier on most nights. I am sure my biology grade will look much better if I am able to not sleep in class. I have never been a coffee person, but I think I just might have to become one.

  1. I'm in that class too. I guarantee its not just that you don't have coffee, it's pretty boring. I like Hogan and she's nice but biology is not exactly what I want to be waking up to in the morning for three days a week haha. I'm pretty sure you get more information than I do in that class even if you're sleeping. I sit next to my two best friends and we talk the whole time. I mean i take the notes but i never really listen to her talking or understand what she's saying. I figured biology is that type of class where you can use the teachers notes and study outside of class and still be fine since its basically all memorization.

  2. Man I had a Chem 101 class last semester at nine too on MWF and i hated it. After a late night on a tuesday or thursday it seemed impossible to even make it to class which is pretty bad. Whenever i got there I always passed out so i can relate. The best way to deal with that problem is more sleep and getting up early like you are. But unfortunately i'm sure the class is real boring and sometimes it doesn't matter how much sleep I get if its boring enough I'll sleep.
