Ahh the soothing whiff of books and coffee. You could never go wrong with that. \n\nI had a 1000+ word scholarship essay due in less than 12 hours by the time I got here yesterday and after a 2-hour math class in the morning, you would think coffee was the last resort. In all honesty, the best contributors a clear & focused mind is not so much the coffee as the atmosphere you're in. I grabbed a spot next to the socket (the only one at the cafe!) and took in my surroundings before channeling what was left of the energy I had, to my work. Starbucks had just the right environment for that since everyone was buried in their own books and the smell of caffeine alone was enough to keep me awake. \n\nAfter what was hours of continuous work (wrapped that up and sent the essay away!), my galpal finally arrived for our planned catch up session to Grouchy Johns, but not after we both shifted through the shelves and indulged in some fine stacks of paperback. My galpal got herself an adorable little 17-month schedule diary (it had the cutest drawing of a pink typewriter on the cover) for roughly $15 and I got myself a calculus workbook - that was about $17. And off we went!
