I Wanna Stay Energetic But I Don't Drink Coffee...

Place: Smart Reading Room Library

Time: 4.30 PM

Conversation between two (un)busy students..

Me: Hey, how’re you? How’s everything?

Her: I’m so busy now. I am frustrated. I have many assignments and projects.

Me: Oh yaa..i was like you before. In my last semester I have three jobs and 6 subjects. If you need a break, take it and do your study.

Her: Yaa, I know.

Me: All you have to do is make the priority. Tell them that you need a break for your exam and study then they’ll understand.

Her: But, if I say “I need a break.” My friend will say, “I can still handle it why you can’t?” And I think, okay..i’ll take it.

Me: Oh yaa..

Her: I’m gonna think..okay I can do this. Even though I’m so busy.

Me: You see, different person, different perceptions. Your friends can handle it but maybe you can’t.

Her: Yeah, and different course as well.

Me: Yaa…exactly. Some course have many assignments and some are not.

Her: True. And I hate to have body that needs to sleep.

Me: Ahaha (laugh)

Her: Yaa..when I feel tired and I need to sleep then I just overslept. It wastes time.

Me: Hahaha yeah..: But you can manage your sleep. 6 hours.

Her: Yeah but sometimes if I’m so tired then I will sleep for long time.

Me: Haahaha

Her: I have friend who just sleep for three hours but they are still energetic. They can last for long.

Me: Oh, really?

Her: Yeah, we are in a busy organization and sometimes we have conferences and stuffs. We just have few hours for sleep and have to wake up again. But these people they never look tired and sleepy. I always think, How come? They just sleep for maybe two-three hours.

Me: Wow. Maybe they drink vitamins..

Her: Yeah, you know..i think it's all because coffee. All people in organization drink coffee. I don’t drink coffee.

Me: Yeah, me too..

Her: I just drink Green Tea Latte in Starbucks. Because the taste is more to Green tea not to coffee that’s why I drink it.

Me: I rarely drink coffee. Maybe it’s just three to four coffees that I drink within 22 years.

Her: Really?

Me: Yeah. I don’t drink coffee. I always sleep at 9 PM and wake up at 3 AM. That’s how I manage my time and study.

Her: Yeah, me too. I prefer to sleep early and wake up earlier.

Me: But you can have a strategy for coffee you know, you can take it after lunch and after 40 minutes you can wake up because the caffeine.

Her: Oh..but all of them love coffee. So I think I’m not the chosen one in organization. They always ask me to “drink coffee” but I can’t.

Me: No, no, you’re the real one. You just need to manage your time well. It’s just different what you can take and theirs. Or maybe you can do exercise, jogging or swimming. It will help you to stay up. 

Her: Ya..ya..i always jog i have time.
Me: I do jogging at Kachi. It's big field you can run. Or at sport complex.
Her: Yaa..i do jogging at Kachi as well. But i don't like the track you know, it's going up and down. Up and down. 

Me: Hahaha yeah..So you are in the last semester now?

Her: No, I’m in the last year. I’m in fifth semester. I have two organizations, one in here and another for national team.

Me: Me too. I have the national organization for Indonesia Association.

Her: I’m the team leader for the org. We work for the reworks.

Me: Me too! What is it?

Her: We create a dinner. Are you coming?

Me: Aha..yeah..when is it?

Her: March 2013. We’re gonna make it.

Me: Cool! Sure! So how’s your team?

Her: We work fun together. We don’t stress the things, we don’t have oriented results like other teams.. we must get 5 EPs and bla bla..

Me: Good. We have similar task..as team leader x)

Her: Okay, I think I have to go. Bye!

Me: Okay! See you!

Drink coffee or not..it's up to You ;)
