(written on Wednesday)
Last Friday I was my first day not having a Coke.
1) I was working at home, so I couldn't hit the vending machines
2) I don't like the addiction factor--was starting to get headaches in the morning & was excited
to drive into work to get my fix!
3) Had a dr's apptmt where she 'hinted' I should loose 16 pounds...
OK, so I totally disagree with this assessment, but I know I have puffed out noticeably
since my Coke habit started. I refuse to buy new clothes, so despite refusing to 'diet'...I thought cutting back on Coke was a nice middle ground. (I've also increased my exercise
slightly.)
Obviously it has been more than 3 days, but I really only decided to go ahead on Monday when I realized I hadn't died from 2 days caffeine-free. (Note: I have NOT given up chocolate...that could cause violence!)
So, when school starts back in August, the temptation of free beverages may not be resisted...but I think that is OK...It is hard to work about 4 10 hours days then sit in class all day Friday/Saturday...I just don't want it to be a daily habit. Sound fair, or am I just justifying my habit?

Hi
I am a Journalism student at Rhodes University in South Africa and an assignment of ours was to great a group blog. Our blog is about student life as a first- year (freshman)and how to cope with the pressures of uni life. You seem like a pretty serious student yourself and I can relate to your having to give up caffeine in order to function a bit better. I wrote a slightly satirical opinion piece on our blog about students having to curb their drinking habits when exam time comes around i.e. now. It is harder for some than for others as there is quite a large drinking culture at most South African universities. Anyway it would be nice if you could look through our blog and tell us what you think.
Take care,
Candy
