and... addiction
And... ready... addiction.
I may need to adjust my work ethics: the amount of distractions that I will tolerate, the atmosphere of the room, the height of the table, the noise, the internet connection availability, the drink and the quantity of drink I let myself drink. I think I've become addicted to the coffee-shop environment, but am becoming more and more resistent to its help with my homework attention-span.
Today I wanted to come to a coffee shop so badly because I feared that I'd not be able to accomplish anything at home. Then I remembered seeing a little sign at the Beaner's counter about the expiration date for a coupon in the "Current" magazine... and I remembered walking up the street this afternoon, stepping over a March "Current" on the sidewalk. I left my house again and found that dampened magazine, turning page after page till I found a coupon for coffee at Beaner's. I've really become an addict--scrounging around on the street for traces of / sources for my drug.
Turns out, the coupon gave me a whole drink for free...thus the lack of funds that had previously kept me from coming into the cafe were taken care of. But, geez. If only I could force myself to get my ubiquitous work accomplished effectively (does "ubiquitous" even work in this sentence? I don't think so.).
And let me assure you, I'm addicted to more than just the coffee... but how can one resolve a coffee SHOP addiction?

i think it's okay to have a shop addiction, though it would be beter on oyur paycheck if you were addicted to the Harry Potter room in the grad library...
And I hope, for your sake, that funny one isn't addicted to Beaner's as well...
Hey, you should just keep using current coupons!

I would keep using the coupons, but they misprinted the expiration date in the current (it reads: 3/31)... and people kept using coupons multiple times, which they don't want. The day that I used a coupon happened to be the last day they would allow the coupons to be used. I got one free drink out of it, which I'm pretty pleased about.
Where is the Harry Potter room? or do you mean the big reading room? That's a cool place, I guess it's been a while since I've been there to study... maybe I should give it another chance.
