TODAY... 1/28/10 @ 12:48am

I went out to meet friends for drinks, despite my exhaustion and pile of essays to finish at home. So, on my trip back home, knowing I only had 2 cups of coffee left in the pot from this morning, I made a detour to Safeway for some sugar-free Red Bulls. I got one for tonight, and three to make it through a hellish day tomorrow that will see me staying at school until at least 9pm. So, I popped the Red Bull in the fridge, while popping one Red Bull in the freezer for consumption tonight. Unfortunately, I let it sit in the freezer for exactly 11 minutes, and by that time it had partially frozen, as I found out when I opened the can, it partially exploded, and then I tried drinking it to no avail. So, I had to open a smaller can that I was saving for tomorrow, leaving myself with only two Red Bulls for hell day instead of one. But, lo and behold, inspiration struck and rather than throw away nearly 100mg of caffeine, I chose to tip it upside down and leave it in a large cup in the fridge and I'll have it for breakfast on my way out the door in the morning. It will have lost some of the carbonation, but who cares? I beat the system. I think. Somehow it feels vindicating.
