Post That reminds me of a coffee incident that happened to me in college. I was not (am still not) a coffee drinker, nor do I drink pop or any other caffeine beverage (Milk for me). It was the night before I had a killer day of finals. 7:00 Comparative Anatomy, 10:00 Comparative Vertebrate Histology lab final and 1:00 Biological Oceanography. A friend of mine who was in the histology class and I hid out in Johnson Hall (this is at the University of Washington in 1972) and spent most of the night in the lab looking at microscope slides of various tissues. I also took breaks to study for my other two finals. At about 3:00 we crashed in the geology lounge. Woke up at about 6:20 and snooped around for something to eat. There was some instant coffee. Not being a coffee drinker, but being a great fan of good hot cocoa, I just figured that 3-4 spoonfuls of the stuff ought to be about right. Thought this stuff is pretty bad. Didn't really know it tasted bad because of the abundance of coffee. So, after a few cups of that with whatever we were able to scrounge up, it was off to my first final. I thought I did OK on that one. By the time the lab final came at 10:00, I was really wired and I didn't care if I did well or not. I crashed for the 1:00 final and it was a disaster (or I thought it was). I ended up passing them all, but not with flying colors. Good thing other factors entered into my grade. I have another coffee story that came many years later when I was introduced to expresso for the first and last time, but I'll tell that one later.
