Why can't caffeine wake me up like normal people?

I'm sitting next to the suggestive sculpture on the 6th floor Education building, waiting for my financial accounting class to start.

It's 2h45m long, and I'm already struggling to stay awake. Also, my exciting prof is away, and we have a sub. Its not looking very promising for this evening.

Classes kind of swept my feet from under me.

I swear, its still Friday, two weeks ago.

The monster in my tummy is angry

I've recently finished my antibiotic regime to get rid of an infection of H. Pylori bacteria in my stomach. The doctor says I'll have a build up of excess acid in my stomach for up to three weeks after the infection is gone. This leaves one tired Alana up with heartburn at unfortunate hours.

Things I need to stay away from include:
pop

deep-fried foods

or basically anything too acidic

The good news is this explains most of the reactions I've had recently with certain foods.

Good reasons, I swears

Oh hey thar blog I've been ignoring.

I swear I had good reasons (Vancouver trip, Edmonton trip, getting hit by a car, having the flu, midterms, catching up from all those other reasons).

I promise I will catch up at some point. After I finish this assignment I'm working on. And the midterm on Tuesday. And the labs on Thursday. And the midterm and assignment I have to mark for Thursday. And I'm going to stop listing the things I have to do now.

Oh, it was also my 19th birthday.

Fact: Janice is awesome

Well, I suppose an introduction is a good direction to go in my first step out into the blogosphere.

Hi there! My name is Alana, and I am what many people would classify a nerd, but I am also a girl. Now, this might not seem like that big of a deal to someone with an outside perspective, but I can assure you that when you are one of very few girls in a faculty that is quite small to begin with, it matters. Last September I started my first year of university studying Physics fresh out of high school. Needless to say, it did not take long for some of the physics crew to start asking me out.*

Janice, sometimes referred to among our friends as 'The Other Girl in Physics', can sympathize with this problem of too many dicks. Nerd bait, or ηεπδ βαιτ, was Janice's great idea for sexy underwear, and she was kind enough to suggest that as a title.

Let's all take a moment to thank Janice for the amazing title of this new blog. As much as I'd like to take credit for it, my only claim in it is the word 'chronicles'.


Ohhh man, it is much too late to try to form sentences. I still have to get my new bike** into the bike shop tomorrow!

Its time to take some advice from (who else?)

Janice: being awake is for chumps and I no longer want to be a chump

*Please note that not that all of these attempts failed. This is when I started dating Kyle, and I live with him now, so I guess him asking me out was cool. :)
**NEW BIKE OMG. I swear I wont be over this excitement for a while.
