Beer, Buddies, and a Biology Quiz

It feels great hanging out with friends that you haven't seen in a long time, especially if it involves alcohol. I feel guilty for having indulged when I shouldn't have- I have a molecular cell bio quiz in the morning. But actually, I don't feel that guilty because I took care of business first.

Before Indulging:

School from 7:30am to 5pm. I had class only from 9-10 and from 1-2. What I did in between? I'm not gonna lie: took naps in the student union and the science center, small snacks, physics studying + voluntary homework repeat (self-inflicted torture), biochemistry notes review, and molec cell bio quiz review. Good boy.

During:

I promised myself I'll never drink more than two beers because I was intent on leaving before 8:30 so I could sneak in some study time when I get home.

Thing is, we went to Hooters Burbank. Pretty waitresses, TV screens with various basketball games (I followed the Lakers/Losers game and the UCLA/USC and Duke/Clemson games), lots of things to talk about. These are myriad reasons I forgot my promise. Ended up drinking more than two (I couldn't recall how many) Hefeweizen.

Shit.

After:

Starbucks for a grande coffee (although caffeine doesn't address the tipsy issue, it does alleviate the sleepiness that has been present since I was in school) and about 4 trips to the urinal. I said goodbye to my buddies despite their insistence on getting me to go someplace else. Preferably a strip club. Haha. Nice.

Honestly, I took off right away, realizing the dire consequences that it may yield had I gone with them. I need to study. I need to sleep. I need to get a 100 on the quiz. I need to go to medical school.

9:29- I'm in my car already. Sobering up a bit...a bit.


10:00- Burbank to Cerritos.

10:59- Just finished typing this. Good night everyone. See you in lecture tomorrow.
