Staying Awake in Lectures

I had an 8am lecture this morning. I slept at 2.30am last night. I woke up at 7am this morning. And I would doze off in class every Wednesdays.

If I don't get them before the class, I'd get them during the break, even if I'm not really tired, I'm always hungry for food. I just like the sausages and hotdogs sold in the chinese snack stall in the Arts canteen. I'm eating so much from there that I haven't been at Coffee Club Express that frequent le. Then again, I think it's also due to the venue of where most of my classes are ba...
