Coffee: the arcane ingredient in the evolution of a demi goddess
Created from the university library My first sip of coffee was awful, but after I downed the entire cup in desperation to complete a final in a class I never attended it launched me into a space where ancient Romans, origin of the stars, and the entangling of religions twisted into my brain cells and I was flying through notecards and highlighted notebook pages like I’d entered the Twilight Zone of Mt. Olympos. By the time I had went back to the silver canister of coffee with a hand-written sign next to it that said “Free Coffee” in black marker three times that evening, and each of those times the process started the same me making wincing face, taking another sip, and turning the page of a textbook trying to memorize every word on the page.
