coffee shop lady

during school over the past couple years, i always thought, "man, it'd be nice to come hang out at the coffee shop and read for fun like all the normal people around who have normal lives do. but no. i have to sit here and study for the __________ (fill in the name of whatever class it happened to be that day) exam."

so today, i ended my three day pajama streak, and did just that. i spent probably 2 hours there this morning. reading a book. alledgedly for fun. turns out the book was treacherous, but that's another story all together.

anyway, since i'm back in the hometown for the next couple of months, i was in a coffee shop that i am not considered a "regular" at. not yet anyway. but i happen to know that the lady who runs the place has a daughter who is also in medical school. so everytime i go in, we have a friendly little chat about how hard life is etc etc. she's a really nice lady.

anyway, i met a friend for lunch and did some minor shopping. afterwards, i decided to make a trip to the public library to pick up some decent reading material (as the one i was about to finish was making me want to gouge my own eyeballs out). low and behold, who is at the library but the coffee shop lady.

if we're to be seeing this much of one another, i should at least take it upon myself to learn her name. maybe tomorrow.
