Coffee Diversity

Friday, January 18th, 2008

I have no particularly deep insight (who am I kidding..I have no deep insights whatsoever), but as I sit here on the last day of my J-Term class, I am looking around and noticing a few things.  First of all, there are two students here not using laptops.  Two out of twenty.  That boggles my mind - how can you possibly survive a class without using your laptop?  Then again, I bet you people get good grades.  Ridiculous.

Second, there are six of us here with coffee on the table, and not a single repeat.  I have my trusty Bodo’s BoJoe.  Also sitting on the table is a Greenberry’s, Starbucks, McDonald’s, 7Eleven, and a travel mug from home.  Wow, what does this say about us?  I don’t know.  It means that we come from different parts of town?  It means that we are all coffee snobs with particular preferences?  (I, after all, hate Greenberry’s.)  It means, most likely, that I need to stop looking around and pay attention.

I had more blogworthy wit to include here, but apparently I have been sapped of humor and energy.  So I sign off for now.
