Any coffee with your knowledge?

Ordering books online saves money and a trip to the store, but in the mean time of waiting for them to arrive precious reading time is lost. So I went to Barnes & Noble today, found one of my required texts and plopped myself down in Starbucks and consumed a good two hours of knowledge. As it was nearing 1:00 I realized I wanted to continue my reading later in the evening, so I purchased the book, despite the fact that I already purchased a copy from amazon.com. Making my way to the register I saw a table of hard cover books for under $6.99, found one that looked appealing and headed towards the register again. Just as I was about to check out I was torn away from my destination by the magazines. They just have to put those suckers right where I will clearly see them don't they! I grabbed Glamour, Elle, and Vogue and went to the checkout for real this time.

time: 1:00 p.m.
cost: $78.00
mood: driven with desire
