So Much Coffee!

Yesterday Seth bought a plunger (French Press) and picked up his first weekly allotment of coffee from Starbucks. Even though we are both anti-big corporation (especially when it comes to coffee houses), we can't help but be amazed at how Starbucks really wants its employees to be familiar with their coffee. They even require everyone to take classes in how to make good espresso.

To aid in the coffee "learning process" Seth not only gets all the coffee and fancy blended drinks he wants while he is at work, but he also is given 500g (a little over a pound)of beans per week! Wow, lucky me... I mean Seth. :P

Last night out and first day back

Last night a bunch of us went out for coffee- the last night out of the year! It was a bit sad, but hopefully we can get together next semester. We will just have to visit Yahya (our injured NC friend from Yemen) when we return to Raleigh.

Early this morning Kaima and I drove out to Namadgi; it was my first time back in that park this year. Since it is Saturday, there was an available van to make it out there, but unfortunately I was not able to find any honeyeater nests, which was the purpose of the trip. It felt nice to be back in Namadgi, a fairly isolated and very beautiful place. It was also great to have Kaima's good company, particularly since I was pretty tired from last night and was worried about falling asleep at the wheel!
