Earlier this week I got to see what it feels like to drink too much coffee at one time, and let me tell you it was not fun.
My 6 AM morning workouts have been really kicking my butt lately. I've been really exhausted all day and ready to go to bed at about 9 or 10 every night. Well, the cafeteria finally refilled the cappuccino, so I decided to have some at lunch. Somehow, having one cup with my lunch turned into three.
I was drinking it partially because I like the taste and partially because I hoped it would keep me awake. Boy did it ever.
I got back to my room when I realized the reaction I was having to all of the caffeine coursing through my system. My heart was pounding like crazy, my hands were shaking, and I could feel all of the nerves in my body twitching. It was not a pleasant feeling.
I tried to write some notecards for a presentation, but my hands were shaking too bad for me to be able to write correctly. I couldn't do my homework because it involved either writing or drawing, so I had to sit tight and wait for the effects to wear off.
They finally did, but my wing and I had a special dinner and I ended up having pop to drink with it. I didn't really think of it until I was almost done with the can. The effects of the caffeine were starting to come back.
Hopefully, I can avoid the feeling in the future. One of the girls in my wing said that once she had 8 cups of coffee at once and that it was not a good experience, so I plan to avoid drinking that much.
Cheers.
