The class walked into the room to find Jenny lying on a pile of coffee beans on top of the table. Surrounding her were coffee cups with writing on them- "Drink Me, Don't Sleep." A few people poked her to try to rouse her from her sleep. Most people immediately starting preparing their coffee with sugar and cream. Once people had made their coffee to their liking, the class began to attempt an annoyance approach to awake her. This included resetting her alarm to wake her earlier, threatening to pour coffee beans down her clothes, and attempting to call her mom. She kept groaning and complaining that she needed more sleep, just five minutes more. She continued tossing and turning and the class continued to mercilessly harass her. Jenny only got up when her alarm went off and everyone was relieved! Ultimately Jenny wanted to show the class that us drinking coffee was affecting her. This is a testament to the busyness and constant stimulation that our culture holds so dear- and that affects each and every one of us.
