 I'll keep this brief since I really should be in bed by now, but today I had such a nice encounter with the ladies at the cafeteria.

Fun fact about me, but I'm massively picky eater. I don't like this about myself, but it's the truth. Usually the premade lunches I buy at the cafeteria have mayo, coriander, bell peppers etc i.e Stuff that I hate and will avoid if possible. But I'm also not so self-important to ask them to make it custom for me and hold up the line, so usually I just suck it up and eat it while trying not to gag. I swear the food is usually really good, this is just a personal flaw.

But today there was nobody else in the cafeteria so I hesitantly asked if I could have the box of chips without the mayo on top and they were so kind to me about it and agreed immediately. They even gave me extra beef and cheese to compensate for the mass lost, like they care that much. And while I was waiting for them to pull a fresh box of chips, I chatted with the girl at the counter and I mentioned that I hate mayo and basically all sauces and that I'm a picky eater. She looked concerned for a moment and said "But there's always mayo?" and I just responded with a grimace and a muttered "yeah". She asked me what kind of sauces I do enjoy and I responded that BBQ sauce is the only condiment that I actually like and she immediately offered to get some for me in a little cup so I could dip at my pleasure instead of it being smothered over my chips. Like??? That is so incredibly kind and considerate of her. Of course I agreed and soon I had a box of sauceless chips with beef mince and melted cheese on top, all with a medium cup of BBQ sauce balanced precariously on top. 

Man, I was on the verge of tears. These cafeteria ladies are the BEST. I'm mocked all the time for being a picky and slow eater, but I'm slow because I have to pick around the stuff I don't like or I WILL gag and then I can't eat anymore, but for them to be so accomodating for no other reason than their kindness warms my heart.

 Now that I've been on the ADHD medication for a couple of times, I've had a small realisation. Interestingly, I just came to the conclusion without having to learn the hard way.

My medication will help me focus and study better, but it will not make me make good decisions. It won't change my interest in a subject. I'm still fully responsible for all my choices, if anything I'm more responsible now that I'm medicated. Medication won't magically make me a more productive person or any smarter than before, it's just levelled the playing field.
