Wanna know how bad the semester is? I've resorted to drinking coffee.
I'd say I'm still far from an avid coffee drinker. I still prefer tea. The purists out there would die if you saw what I do to my coffee to make it palatable to me. I understand completely. I feel that way about chocolate.
I can't handle my caffeine. It drives me insane, and most times I drink decaff everything. I will drink one caffeinated beverage in the morning, usually tea, sometimes diet soda. It has to be bad if I've resorted to coffee. Whether it has more caffeine or less than tea, I don't know, but at least it appears to affect me more, even if it is just psychologically.
The new habit began on my drive to school. I'd stop for gas. I'd pay. I saw in the Redners quickie mart that there was a hot cocoa dispenser, french vanilla coffee, and flavored creamers, amaretto to be exact. So, I took a 12 oz cup, filled it half way with french vanilla, then filled the rest with cocoa, two flavored creamers, a handful of ice (I'm a wimp) and stir until thoroughly mixed. In essence, a mocha, since that's about the only way I will drink coffee.
After a while, I decided my costly habit was adding up, penny wise. So, I did it. I broke down and bought some french vanilla coffee and some hot chocolate in order to make the combination I've come to know and love. The mr. received a one cup coffee brewer for Christmas one year, and that's what I've been using, that and my travel mug. Before I know it, I'll be drinking this stuff without the cocoa.
Nah.

OMG the world is surely coming to an end. The day you tell me you're drinking it black like me and Mom I swear I'm going to keel over and die. This must be a tough semester.
BTW just for future knowledge Sheetz has a coffee club. After (I think) six cups of coffee - or whatever it is that you're muxing up in that cup of yours - you get one free.
Oh and if you want a new taste, try Turkey Hill right now. They have a seasonal cappuccino called Pumpkin Spice that is delish. I can't taste the coffee in it at all but it's good anyway.
Oh I thought of something else to say! Dairy Queen has a really yummy coffee ice cream drink out right now. I don't usually like cold coffee drinks but S3 was insistent that he'd like it so I let him get it and then I was jealous. I think we (ha! See I stole it) had the mocha one.
hm. I dont know if I'm that into this stuff just yet. Cold coffee? I just don't know...
