So by now I'm convinced being at Yale is bad for one's health. My roommates and I have now stooped so low that we now are pouring LOTS of coffee grounds in cold water (we have nothing to heat up the water with) and consuming. It's kind of like swallowing caffeinated moist sand, but it gets the job done. I mean, it's not bad, but we're all pushing 8-12 cups of coffee a day as it is. Staying up until 4 am and getting up at 7:45 for breakfast and then a 9 a.m. class makes you pretty desperate for anything that keeps you conscious.
 This week is arguably the most hectic week this semester. On top of a navy physical fitness assessment and multiple midterms, I've got somewhere close to a billion essays to write and lots of work to get ahead for next week since I cant make class next Monday or Tuesday due to extenuating circumstances. We've also got around 9 hours of sword practice for NROTC. To be honest, everything will have settled down in no time. No worries.
The good things about today?I haven't thrown up yet from consuming pure coffee grounds. The dining hall had raspberries today. I went and bought a gallon of chocolate milk to get through the week. I'm still awake. These things combined definitely put my day in the positive zone.
