Just Say "Maybe Later"

During the last week of finishing my thesis, I discovered that staying awake for more than 30 hours is surprisingly difficult for the human body, especially when that human body can't drink coffee because of goddamned stomach issues. (Green tea : coffee :: Billy Baldwin : Alec Baldwin.) So the topic of caffeine pills and adderall naturally came up. I decided I couldn't take either, especially adderall, because I am inheretly lazy and therefore likely to become addicted to something that made everything easier to do. Here is a little glipse into my future life if I started taking adderall...

Week One: "Man, I have to read like 100 pages of Marlowe by tomorrow. Better take some adderall."

Week Three: "Wow, this is a really complicated episode of Law and Order. I should take some adderall so I can follow it."

Week Five: "I wonder what why I don't remember my dreams in the morning. Maybe if I take some adderall before I go to sleep..."

Week Ten: "Have I taken an adderall today? I can't remember. Better take some adderall to focus."

Week Fifteen: "Where did I put my heroin? Taking some adderall sure would make me a more conscientious junkie..."
