Me in math lecture
That's the wrong class to sleep through. I was always good at math (I minored in it), but having to go back and teach myself was always super difficult.
It was 10:00, I was a freshman, and yes it would have made my life a lot easier.
10:00 isn't even that early. Plenty of mistakes were made as freshman.
It was my earliest class.
My kid is a freshman in college now and I asked him when his first class was, he said 10:40.
That's my boy. 🥲
I don't know, for me when I'm getting that close to lunch I'm having trouble focusing. I think the 10am might have been ideal for me personally.
Computer Science for me, which was my major. But the class was just a little too warm, had natural light drifting through stained glass, was in an echoey auditorium and at 3pm, when the sleepies hit. God help me I tried everything to stay awake except caffeine, because I was a stupid child.
No amount of caffeine will save you from afternoon sleepies in the wrong class
In my case it was a grad level course They let me in as an undergrad because I was smart and motivated Only half a dozen students Giant mug of coffee
Lots of matrix algebra 800 year old professor 3pm Dead quiet room Fluorescent lights
The shame of dozing off in his class still pains me decades later I AM SORRY
I still haven't started drinking coffee, 35+ years old. I feel tired all the time but that's what two kids do to you.
I'm just happy I don't have to depend on any substance to keep me normal.
Yeah, it's bad. I was at a wedding once, and feeling under the weather. Headache and flu symptoms. My friend brought me a hot tea to help my throat, and as I drank it, I started to immediately feel better. Then I realized I hadn't had my morning tea, or my lunch iced tea, or my dinner iced tea... that's how I found out I was chemically addicted to caffeine, lol.
Dang, do you add caffeine to your tea? Or is there really that much in tea naturally?
I think it was the regularity of me drinking it. 1 large, hot lipton black tea in the morning, maybe an iced black tea before lunch, one at lunch, maybe 1 after, 1 at dinner, and maybe 1 more after. I was using unsweetened tea to ween off Gatorade which helped me ween off soda at the time.
You majored in computer science but found the subject boring? I never understood this.
I recall back in school a girl asking me when signing up for classes for next quarter, which classes required the least amount of writing code. I guess those people go into management.
Oh no, it was fascinating! I loved it! I love computer science. But that professor's voice, in that room, at that time of day... it was like a sleeping pill.
