Going into this caffeine-free week, I have two ideas of possible scenarios: I will prove that I'm totally awesome and don't need my fix to function normally. Or I will die.
I’d like to think that things will go smoothly this week, but I’m not so sure. I’m pretty much a die hard will-drink-anything-with-caffeine-in-it addict. It’s one of those things I have everyday, multiple times a day, in various forms. So I’m kinda scared, but also up for a challenge.
My goal with this is to be less dependent on the substance. I don’t want to not be able to operate if I don’t get a coffee or something. I want to be able to get up and go somewhere. I’m really going to try to resist any temptation I get this week and push myself and see where I end up.
I can already tell that it isn’t going to be easy, as much as I wish it was. But I’d like to think that’s part of the fun.
I’m anticipating that I’ll definitely have to extend my six hours of sleep a night so I’ll have to go to bed earlier(boo!), but I’m sure without caffeine to give me a boost for the most of the day, I’ll be grateful to fall into bed once I get home from class even.
I’m fine with being a walking zombie for the week if it means things go by relatively fast. I’m just hoping I don’t end up going on a rampage and getting snippy with people. Can lack of caffeine make you go on murderous rampages? I hope not...
At the very least, it’ll be an interesting experiment to see how much I rely on something that I take for granted, and how I’ll react to not being able to have that thing.
