*$s

dear diary,

today i drank my very first hot caffeinated beverage of the academic year: a tall caramel macchiato.

i just wanted to say how ridiculous i think that is.

because today is may 23.

and school began on september 5 of last year.

this means i drank no coffee all year. what kind of english grad student am i!?

(admittedly, maybe it's not quite that ridiculous, because coffee costs $3 a cup at starbucks, so it's just as well. and coffee tends to make me jumpy and give me stomach cramps, so it's really just as well. and also, *cough*, i've been drinking red bull, instead...)
