The Two C's of my Sin

My life is kind of routine.

Wake up, go to school, go to work, do homework (sometimes) and repeat.

I'm glad, though, that there are some things that help me cope with it. I'm not necessarily saying anything is bad, it can just get a little repetitive at times.

Coffee and cigarettes help me a lot. More than sleep and running, at least.

Taking a "fresh air" break, though, is almost unheard of. I like getting that short break in the day where I can go outside, and just sit on the awkwardly placed concrete bench outside the office and clear my head.

Coffee, yes, I don't think I'll ever have too much. I love drinking coffee. Almost as much as I love a smooth, chocolaty Scotch.

But smoking takes precedent. For those of you who will complain about secondhand smoke I respond thus: Frankly, I don't think you deserve to be privy to my secondhand cool. (Kidding)

Which brings me to the actual point: If the smoking ban happens on campus, I'm completely screwed. Never mind the breach of student rights and how we pay tuition dollars and ultimately help pay for custodial staff, etc., etc. It's part of who I am, I think.

I guess I can always switch to an e-cigarette.

I wonder how I can get one of those for free...

It's a different mindset. Something you would have to understand. It doesn't make sense... I can agree with that. But why go through life doing nothing bad for you and feeling completely neutral than doing said bad things and guiltily feeling good for it?

My dad said he never wants to get old.

I agree.
