Day 27: Study day

Amanda Xi

Today’s inane images of the day:

A couple of things to note: 1.) large stack of notecards only represents a small fraction of the lectures I should know by now; 2.) I really like studying in my kitchen, which leads to the issue of stress eating and consumption of foods I would normally have the will to say “no” to; 3.) What’s open on my laptop: lecture and Facebook.

Yesterday’s caffeinated beverages ingested: 1 solo espresso, 1 tall iced coffee, 2 Irish breakfast teas, 1/2 Red Bull

I am so behind. And frightened. And quite depressed that the clouds won’t cease their downpour on this area. It’s as if Mother Nature sensed that we were stressed and decided to make the weather reflect our mood [I’m going with this theory because it’s supposed to be sunny and beautiful on Monday when our exam is over].

Art fair woes and quick update

Today’s inane image of the day:
Sadly, the Ann Arbor Art Fair has prevented me from getting my favorite Starbucks beverage this morning — so I have settled for Caribou K-Cup Iced Coffee…
 
  1. REALLY long Ann Arbor Food/Dessert/Coffee/Tea Bucket-ish List post coming soon!
  2. Can someone please get me one of these beautiful new Macbook Airs?
  3. Follow me on Twitter. SERIOUSLY — it will be worth it.

Another Sunday morning

Today’s inane image of the day:

This is generally how my Starbucks workspace looks like — coffee, phone and laptop [yes, I do really like the color pink…]. While I sometimes have a love-hate relationship with weekend mornings [generally because they aren’t truly mornings anymore when they start at 10 or 11am], today is slightly different because it will probably be the last time I spend a Sunday morning at the Starbucks on State and Liberty St — with moving out of my apartment next weekend, I don’t think I’ll have the opportunity to do this again. There is, of course, the possibility that I try to do my residency at the University of Michigan, but that is pretty unlikely.

Saturday lounging and reasons to love OUWB

Amanda Xi

I am enjoying the fact that this blog is giving me an excuse to take pictures of the frivolous things of my daily life — this being said, here’s today’s inane image of the day:

This is my idea of Saturday lounging… mmm comfy chairs and a Sweetwaters iced latte [oh and that’s Mike’s super large iced coffee]. I am definitely obsessed with the coffeeshop scene… in fact, I have very fond memories of the hours upon hours of time spent “studying” at Caribou Coffee prior to starting college. I even got a job at a coffeeshop in Ann Arbor and while I have my reasons for never wanting to return to that particular establishment for coffee ever again, I have to admit that I met some interesting people while working there.
