revival

Hey all! School's back in session, so since I can't access facebook at work, I'll probably get to do some more work on my blog.

The freshmen are SO CUTE.

Just went to Starbucks (this year is SO different from last year in regards to me having time). I ordered a tall mint mocha frap, which I highly recommend (chocolate whipped cream on top: imagine that!). Now, the hilarious thing was that with my purchase, I got a coupon to receive a $2 grande version (I think it has to be the same drink) after 2 p.m. TODAY. It is clear that yet again, Starbucks is certainly requiring addiction.

So, last night at writers' group, I wrote a few journal topics for my freshmen, but this question is certainly one I've been pondering over the last few days:

* Are certain people destined to be popular? Why or why not? How do appearances factor into one's status, or do they matter?

It's certainly an interesting question when observing teenagers at any level (and even some adults).

Open Mic tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at Broad St. Cafe - be there! I had a tough time choosing out of SEVERAL poems I'd written throughout the summer (not to mention the two I wrote last night).

1) Starbucks has a program to hook people on caffeine?! That's pretty crazy.. And fiscally smart.

2) Your journal topic makes a good discussion question for anyone! Looks.. looks... Well, I wasn't one of the popular kids in middle school (you've seen that one Facebook picture).
