Young Urban Professionals

I woke up at 5:45 a.m., because I had a bio final at 8 a.m. and I'm VERY, VERY paranoid about missing tests by sleeping through them. Anyway, it was a really cold morning today, so I decided when I left the house at 7 a.m. that I had time to get coffee. I didn't want to go all the way down to South Side, to get cheaper coffee, so I went to the Starbucks right by my apartment. Then I proceeded to pay $2.75 for a (really short) tall glass of Holiday Peppermint Mocha. It was like 8 oz. big. As I walked out, bitter about having wasted so much money, I took a sip of the coffee, and realized it was all worth it.

The holiday peppermint was really, really good. In other words, I've turned into a yuppie loser (as if I wasn't already), paying outrageous prices for tacky marketing schemes of coffee. BUT, oh well—the coffee was really good and I don't particularly care what you think of me. So what if I've turned into a yuppie clown?

On a rather important side note, if you have noticed that I have no substantial, emotional, heartfelt entries as of late (or ever), it's because I am incapable of such emotion, such thought, such writing and will never, ever exhibit any of the aforementioned entries. If and when one of these entries makes it into my blog, rest assured that I will already be dead and my body inhabited by an parasitic alien being.
