But I actually also have two classes that I'm taking online at Wharton as part of a Business Foundations Specialization. That's the real work that I actually avoid doing, just like I did in undergrad! Do all the extracurricular work first before the academic...
Anyway, I decided to check out a Starbucks different from the one I usually frequent. This is on the larger end with lots of open space and just has a different vibe from the smaller store I'm used to. If I could go to another coffeehouse I would. The main reason I continually go to this chain is because I've got a shit-load of gift cards that I need to use (and of course have to earn those stars to get me some free drinks!). Really looking to save money right now since I want to eventually take a Caribbean cruise this spring.
I digress. I walk in, set my stuff down at the end of a long table, set my laptop charger on the floor outlet to make claim to it and head over to the counter. I didn't really need any caffeine (been trying to stay off it), but I wanted a little boost, so I just got a shot of espresso with some coconut milk - yumm.
When I got back to the table, three Chinese students had seated themselves around where I was going to sit. Instead of grabbing my belongings in a huff and looking for somewhere else to sit (there really wasn't anywhere else to go at that point), I said to myself "You know what, fuck it. Just stay."
So I did.
Now I'm sitting with three new friends. Well, we haven't spoken. I doubt we will. But it at least looks like we all came together. Maybe...
