Maria's Blog

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.

Day 1 of Being a Better Person

Well, the weather continues to disappoint. I, on the other hand, have upheld my resolutions for a solid 24 hours! This is longer than I have ever held a resolution before, mainly because I have never MADE one before. What? It’s not like there’s anything about myself I need to change, right? Right guys?! To celebrate I am going to Starbucks. Actually, we are going there to meet friends (but I will secretly be celebrating on the inside). Question: Is it a celebration if no one else knows about it?
In keeping with being a better person, I suppose I should actually get ready so we do not miss our bus..

Infographic of the Day: Starbucks announced today the impending introduction of its own version of the Big Gulp — a gut-punching 31-ouncer called the “Trenta.”
Can you stomach it? Should you stomach it? The National Post investigates.

Wait…something BIGGER than the venti? I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!

Starbucks (Mis)adventures

Yesterday I went to Starbucks. Highlight of the night (aside from bonding and consuming multiple frappuccinos) was when the man sitting beside us decided to use his newspaper as a kleenex. He buried his entire head in it and sneezed several times, and then continued reading it (This in no way bothers me as I am not a germaphobe. There is no such thing as the five second rule with me. If food falls on the floor, short of someone stepping on it, I consider it safe to eat). However, I may or may not (I did) have had a laugh attack. They plague me.
