enjoying the holiday baking endeavors

Relief and anticipation has set in. I finished the last of my final exams and now just have to wait for the final grades to be posted. I'm glad that its over, because I need a winter break. Lots of reading and cooking:)

Reading and cooking...bliss:)

Well, thats all I've got. I'll write a more in depth blog later this week after I've grown tired of lounging around drinking coffee and watching House marathons on TV...haha if thats possible.
Take Care and enjoy the snow(we got about 10 inches this weekend...pretty epic!)

this is my brain on coffee

Have been very bad about keeping up with this. Sorry about that. I just had a partial breakdown yesterday, nothing serious. I just skipped my class and spent the day eating a pan of cookies and watching the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, feeling sorry for myself for no reason in particular. I feel much better today though. I think that I aced my math test, so thats good. I try to tell myself that its finals that has gotten me all bond up, but really my finals aren't too bad this semester. hmm. Well, I guess they are a bit overwhelming for some classes but certainly not all of them.

Anyways enough school talk. I think that I have become more dependent on coffee in the last three weeks...I'm like a junkie if I don't have my coffee in the morning. This weekend I didn't have any and at about 2pm I had this terrible headache and was just in a monstrous mood. I didn't realize it at first but it made sense later thinking about it. I was having a coffee withdrawal. I have heard people talk about caffeine hangovers and such but never really understood what the big fuss was about.. I mean its not like smoking. Cigarettes addiction I understand, that was a total nightmare trying to give up. I still have daydreams about, well lets not go there.
Anyways, I never understood caffeine headaches until now.

Well, thats all for now. I have successfully spent an unnecessary amount of time analyzing my mental state and how the use of caffeine alters it.
