My compadres go to Starbucks a lot. I will usually go with them, but I never get anything because I don't really want to spend that much money and I've never considered myself a coffee drinker. I'm not the coffee-hater that my sister is, but I just haven't been drawn to it.
Today, though, today was different. I was tired of waiting in line with my friends and never getting anything. So I got a coffee. It was hot outside, so I got an iced hazelnut mocha latte.
Eh.
That was my reaction in a word.
If I don't have any special affinity for iced coffee on a hot day with hazelnut and mocha, then coffee is pretty much gone on me.
I expected that the coffee wouldn't be a complete waste, I had to go to English in about an hour and thought the caffeine would help with that whole 2 1/2 hour situation. Umm no. Not only was there no difference in my level of alertness, but there was a decided difference in the contentment of my stomach. I felt sick. And don't try to convince me that it was because I didn't eat; I ate just fine before I drank my coffee.
Conclusion: Coffee makes me sick. Coffee does not keep me awake. Coffee makes my feet hurt. That last one may or may not be the fault of the coffee as the shoes I had on all day have been known to make war with my feet. But I'm going to blame the coffee anyway because I need three points for a strong case.
But this is all very odd seeing how I descend from long lines of serious coffee drinkers. Serious meaning "if the spoon won't stand up, the coffee's not strong enough."
Hmm...curious.
