Caffeine

I have discovered that a large part of my personality, at least in the classroom, is made up of caffeine. Without it (as I have suffered for two days because of a stomachache) I am: more disorganized; less able to come up with quick fixes for said disorganization; less witty; more cranky; more flat-footed all around. With it I am: slightly less disorganized; quick with a fix for any lapses of thought; quicker to think on all fronts; more forceful in my approach. If there is ever an end to caffeine, there will be a corresponding end to at least part of me.
