Journalism student at GH. I like coffee. And by coffee I mean mochas (coffee sounds more grown up somehow). I used to like singing but one day my teacher made me sing in front of the class (ultimate shame) and now it is just too painful. I play the piano -> not at school of course. Somehow I think that would violate a rule somewhere.. When I am depressed I write death poems. Sometimes I mistake manikins for real people..and sometimes I mistake real people for manikins.

My Monday Morning Woes

I am not a morning person. I am hardly even an afternoon person. Bad things happen when I get up too early. Case in point: my coffee making skills, which seem to be somewhat lacking in the morning hours. In this half-awake, groggy, dream-like state I find myself in when forced to rise at an ungodly hour, I have been known to make my coffee minus the grounds. Which, for those of you who know your coffee, (and those of you that don’t) is not good. It results in one very large cup of hot water and me being late to class as I have to re-brew it. Or, I forget the filter which results in a cup full of grounds. Which, I am ashamed to say, I still drank. What?! I am on a coffee budget here folks! Don’t judge me! I have also been known (on only one occasion, I am proud to say) to forget the cup - a vital part of the process. My laptop got most of my coffee that day. And then there was a slight crisis this morning when I forgot to add the water; also a vital part. This resulted in clouds of steam wildly billowing out of my coffee pot. So, for those of you who live in residence, I would like to apologize in advance for setting off the fire alarm. Because we all know it is going to happen sooner or later.
