Ritalin is Disapointing

"You'll feel like you can build the Death Star with your bare hands!"  That's what my friend told me before letting me sample one of his Ritalin pills.  I admit I was excited.  I had planned on compiling a list of words that rhymed with orange and figuring out what the sound of one hand clapping was like but twenty five miligrams later I just felt a little sleepy.  The drowsiness may have been the medication or my lack of sleep the previous night.  Either way I was a bit let down.  If you can't rely on drugs improving your life what else do you have?
