Dos Equis is a Mexican beer that is full of flavor and OH so refreshing, pick it up at a store near you (get Amber instead of Special Lager).

Well, it's late and I'm up coding. It turns out that coffee is my beverage of choice rather than Pepsi. Oh, and a glass of water because I heard that caffiene dehydrates you.

That's why it sounded so familiar! We were drinking it in Cancun last year! Not sure if it was the Amber or the SL.. For all we know, it may not have even been Dos Equis!

If you were drinking it in Mexico, it might not have even been beer!

hehe, you can pick those up in your local chemist in the UK... they're called "Pro Plus" and they're supposed to keep you awake longer!!

They recommend that you dont take them with any other caffine products.... but I remember on night when a C++ project was due in the next day... I took 2 of these tablets and got the coffee machine on.... I dont think I slept for about 2 days... I just wasnt tired!!

....it does catch up with you though... so be warned!! hehe....

Haha... LOL! That's too funny! Was this a project that was left 'til the last minute, by chance? hehehe... I haven't experienced any of those yet.. I try to plan everything ahead, so I'm not forced into a situation I can't handle!

I'm curious to know... How did you feel after it was all over?

how did I feel? .......... a strange sense of satisfaction that I finished the project..... yet at one with nature, as I had seen the sun rise and set all in the one sitting!! ... I also nearly befriended the milkman when he came to the door at 4am...!!

I am terrible at c++, so I kept putting the project off all the time! Plus the fact that I didnt ever stay in... too much partying I seem to remember!!

aaah, those were the days!!

Hehehe... I can imagine how it felt to be "at one with nature"...

I'm starting C++ next semester... And I've heard that if you go from Java -> C++, it's somewhat harder... That's the situation I'm in... We've learned to love the perks of Java, and now will be losing them! How did you find it?

Yeah... The partying does get in the way! Did you live at home while at school, or did you love on campus? I have some friends who lived in residence (on campus) last year, and they said that while it was a blast, they wouldn't do it again; nothing EVER got done! hehehe...
