Writing Papers and Sipping Money Away

Another dreary day.  I haven't seen the sun at all and there has been no rain, as far as I know.  Nothing else I'd rather be doing of course than getting a paper done.  I'm doing the cliche college student thing by taking my laptop and sitting in the corner of a coffee shop utilizing their free wifi (while letting the wireless I pay for in my apartment waste an afternoon away) and typing ferociously as if my computer did something to personally piss me off.  I finished my paper which is the good news, hence why I'm doing my blogging now.  The paper isn't due until Monday which is what sets me apart from many other students I know.  I hate waiting until the day before or the morning before something is due to complete it.  From the time an assignment is given, it hangs over my head and will not go away.  Well, it's more like the week before it's due.  Literally I can't think of anything else except the assignment, which is usually writing a paper, due to my major.  Thank God because I never learned how to study.  That and how to write like a girl.  When I would pass notes with all my girlfriends growing up I felt ashamed of myself.  Why do their letters have such nice flow? And, oh my God, they can do BUBBLE LETTERS?!  *sigh*

Anyways I knew I wasn't going to have much time over the weekend to do the paper because I'm going to Akron tomorrow to see Leah because I haven't seen her in what feels like months upon months.  Hopefully Alex is there too and I can make fun of her for using airborne.  Then I have to babysit on Saturday night again.  It's for a different family than the one I've been sitting for the past few weeks.  This is not the family that warned me of their daughter having night terrors.  Seriously though, I wouldn't even know what to do if presented with that situation.

Starbucks is now infiltrating with young high school girls.  I don't think I even had Starbucks before senior year of high school.  I still hate dishing out 4 bucks for a drink.  I guess I'm selling out for the environment and shit, but whatever.  It tastes good and the quality of their cups are superb.  I almost got coffee thrown in my face working at my coffeehouse over the summer because some man asked me, "Did anyone ever tell you the lids for your cups are shit?"
And I proceeded to tell him no, so maybe he's not drinking out of it correctly.  I wasn't rude, but I sensed some smartness in my voice and ended it with a smirk.  Most bosses wouldn't be down with an employee response like that, but if you knew who mine was, she wouldn't think twice.  I may even have gotten a high five.
