Now Taking Energy Supplement Suggestions

U.S.S. Shipwreck

2000-2400

I just figured out which classes I am going to take next semester. 14 credits, Monday through Friday again. This semester is going fast. It's midterm week already. I do have to take my Praxis II exam in a few weeks and that has me on edge. On Monday, I did my first lesson plan that I actually put to use. I taught (I hope), two classes of ninth graders about symbolism in character names. It was fun. I am feeling pretty run down lately. It took everything I had to get up today. I don't sleep much during the week. To stay awake at night, I have been downing massive quantities of Crystal Light's strawberry energy drink. I like Full Throttle, but I don't work out enough to keep up with those kind of calories. I have one double shot espresso to start my day, but it wears off by the time I get to work in the evening. This Crystal Light stuff does keep me awake. I use about four of the little packages each night (10 calories each). I am concerned that it is probably doing damage though. I think it is bad for teeth and gums. I haven't looked to far into it, but I think I'm onto something. My gums are sore sometimes after I drink it and I think tiny bits of my teeth are chipping. I also feel really anxious lately but that just might be my stressful life catching up with me. Only one more year like this and hopefully me and what may remain of my teeth and nerves will be able to take it easy for a while.
