so i have taken to studying at the new starbucks near my these days. this is mostly for one reason. its warm. i mean, not even warm, just like a NORMAL temperature. like not arctic. i mean, seriously, ever single freaking day that i go to school and watch the terrible tapes i sit there shivering in my oh so summery wardrobe of layers of cashmere, wool and fleece. and jeans.
so anyway, this starbucks is awesome bc not only does it have some nice little tables and outlets a-plenty and generally plays good music (that i appreciate when i dont have my 32-level (read: industrial strength) earplugs in, i can sit here wearing...short sleeves! summer dresses! it almost makes me feel like a real girl in summer. sigh. so yeah, the temperature here is what keeps me coming back every day. and staying. for 10 hrs a day. oh how i wish i were exaggerating...my bum hurts from sitting here since 9am (its 530pm right now. and im not even thinking of leaving).
so anyway yeah, i love the temp, and the chai lattes, and their delicious and huge (albeit too greasy) rice krispy treats. but the newest funniest part is that i have started getting free things! i mean maybe it is two random incidents and will never happen again, but its kind of funny and i do enjoy it.
2 days ago i had a nice employee come up (after i had been there for several hrs already and it was nearing closing time) and ask me if i wanted coffee since i was studying so hard. i said no, but he trotted down the stairs and came back with a big coffee and some splendas (clearly does not know about my aspartame allergy) seconds later. and now today--went to go buy one of those aforementioned rice krispys, and lo and behold, random other employee gave it to me on the house! hooray! today, i am SO tillies daughter.
its the little things you know. so now im sitting here nibbling that and getting grease all over my keyboard while studying torts. life is good.
ps-i have decided they must be giving me free things bc i look so pathetic and gross. amit told me i was beginning to look a bit "gaunt" and "lifeless". which is to be expected when one shuns the sun in favor of the laptop's eternal, faithful glow. the bathing has become slightly less than daily and the grease is in FULL EFFECT. (if i put my hair in a ponytail on top of my head with a headband no one can notice though, right? right?)
i am a pasty, pathetic mess.

YES! tim and tillie get frequent freebies at their home Starbucks. You are her daughter alright and she doesn't even stay 10 hours, it's that sweet cuban aura that you most certainly have!
keep up the good starbucks work (and torts too)
