I thought of a new invention that will help keep people awake. You know how people drink coffee all the time for its caffine benefits, but a lot of people don't like coffee. Well with my invention, you can get the same stay-awake powers of coffee without the actual coffee. Here's my invention. Its a mug that keeps your drink hot! Wonderful idea isn't it? I know, there are already a million little mugs that recruiters give away as promos (not that anyone has been recruiting me in the last few years). This one is different. This mug would keep your drink hot! Really hot! Like when you first pour the boiling water or get it out of the microwave. I figure there's nothing like burning your tongue on a hot drink to wake you up. It really gets the brain going (specifically the pain receptors). It doesn't even matter what liquid you put in the mug, the internal heating coils will have it up to mouth burning temperatures in no time.

Yesterday I drank six cups of tea. I haven't done that in a while. I was running on about 5 hours of sleep per night for the week, so I thought I might use something hot to stay awake in class. Then I went over to Rebekah's house (or rather her family's house since she is back at Rice) and they had tea after dinner. Tea is great.

Did I ever tell you guys how to put a superstore out of business? Brandon and I figured it out one night, but I forgot to write about it.
