Like a substantial amount more. It&#8217;s kinda crazy. I was never ever a coffee drinker before. I loved the occasional frappuccino, and maybe an iced coffee here or there, but now I&#8217;m having at least one cup of hot coffee a day. I&#8217;m a person with an abundance of natural energy. Seriously, it&#8217;s wild how much energy I have without coffee. But\u00a0<em>with\u00a0<\/em>coffee? I don&#8217;t think the world is ready.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m writing this as I finish my first cup of coffee, and I don&#8217;t think my fingers have e v e r moved faster. My mind somehow is moving at light speed, but also I feel as if I don&#8217;t have a single thought in my head. My core body temperature has spiked, and I feel ready to go. I imagine this is what super heroes feel like when they fall into a vat of chemical waste or get bitten by a radioactive spider.<\/p>\n<p>With most of my blog posts that I&#8217;ve written so far, they are cultivated during a span of a couple of days, because you know I have time, but for this purpose I need to write this all <em>now<\/em>. Otherwise, what&#8217;s the point? During any other day I might not be on the same coffee adrenaline that I am at this very moment.<\/p>\n<p>We did something in class called a stream of consciousness. Most of you reading this are probably either a junior or senior literary, but just in case you aren&#8217;t, I&#8217;ll let you in on what a stream of consciousness is. It&#8217;s just whatever is in your brain. That&#8217;s all. I recommend you do this at home or wherever you are.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, I can&#8217;t stop thinking about Christmas. I follow a page called &#8220;Christmas Countdown&#8221; and it indeed has started. 125 until Christmas. How insane is that? Currently, Mississippi is sweltering in the August heat, but in 125 we&#8217;ll all be hopefully under blankets during holiday break.<\/p>\n<p>Marathon runners. Also insane. I can barely run a mile without feeling like I took off my space suit in outer space, but there are people that can run 26 miles and survive.\u00a0 I know it takes insane practice, but how do you even get started? If you&#8217;re a marathon runner please let me know. I&#8217;m not about to run a marathon, but I am curious.<\/p>\n<p>Next topic, Wikipedia. This has been on my mind because there is that random page generator, and I&#8217;ve been itching to see what pops up. Before that though, it makes me sad that Wikipedia is needing donations. I know teachers don&#8217;t approve of us using it for information, but it&#8217;s still really helpful, and the fact that it&#8217;s a non-profit it awesome. Seeing it shut down or having to be commercial is sad. Anyways, random page! I got the page for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wellington,_Kentucky\">Wellington, Kentucky<\/a>. OKAY! Now this makes my mind think. Imagine, there&#8217;s a person from Wellington, Kentucky and they do the exact same random article search as I did, and they get Oxford, MS or Brookhaven, MS. That would be cool. Or imagine if you got your own town. The odds of that happening must be so slim.<\/p>\n<p>Wellington, Kentucky though is a minuscule town. It has 561 as of the 2000 census. That&#8217;s heckin&#8217; small.<\/p>\n<p>Final topic. Dinosaurs.<\/p>\n<p>As of now in my life, I don&#8217;t think I have a favorite. When I was little it was the Plesiosaur, because it was pretty and lived in water, duh, but I&#8217;m not sure about now. I&#8217;m going to do a little soul searching to find out my favorite dinosaur as of 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/<\/p>\n<p>After much research and coming off of my coffee rush a little, I&#8217;ve come down to two contenders of my heart, the Minmi or the Stegosaurus. I don&#8217;t think I can choose. The Minmi is so cute and underrated that ah!! It just sounds so adorable. The Stegosaurus is a classic though, and there&#8217;s a lot more to know about it. I guess my research was overall, inconclusive. Oh well, at least I learned a little about dinosaurs.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for going through this coffee rush with me, it&#8217;s been quite the journey. I do however wanna know yall&#8217;s favorite dinosaurs and what random Wikipedia page generates.
