drinking... uggg and finals
Mar. 10th, 2008 10:27 amOkay so maybe drinking to study isn't the perfect answer. in fact maybe drinking and me don't get along so great. So here's the run down...
So I've got finals this week. well yesterday I decided that the best way to end my procrastination on homework was to get drunk and do it. I admit in hindsight that this may not have been the best plan. Though to tell the truth I wasn't really doing much actual thinking work it was all a matter of just busy work stuff.
After finding out that the wine I bought on Saturday was only a lousy 6% alcohol I decided I needed to make some mixed drinks. So I made up a weird concoction of Rum, peach schnapps, apple wine, and Redbull. It was Fruity. I got drunk a lot faster than I expected, and managed to stay that way from about 8pm until I want to bed sometime between 11-12. I got about a chapter finished... probably should have managed a little more but like I said... it wasn't the best plan.
Due to hormones I knew that I'd probably be getting a migraine anyway, but the alcohol dulled my senses enough that while I knew I had a headache I could ignore it.
The problem is I'm sure the alcohol only made it worse...
At 4am I woke with a killer headache and nausea. I puked a few times and ate ice chips for about an hour. At which point I knew things would only get worse if I didn't do something. Not wanting to wake anyone else up and admit to my foolishness I decided the roads would be sufficiently clear enough for me to drive very slowly with one eye closed to the office and get a max-alt out of the med cabinet.
So I packed up my ice chips, put my jacket on over my PJ's and drove very slowly with one eye closed to the office and got a migraine med. I then went to sleep on one of the exam tables. I slept until 8 then woke without pain and crept out of the office before anyone even arrived.
I tried to go back to sleep when I got home, but to no avail. So I came in here to check my e-mail. And some advice from the not so wise... Throw away the rest of your mixed drink while you are still drunk, because in the morning after you've been up puking all night it will make you nauseas to smell it.
