That strip is so, so true. I spent the first two and a half years of my undergrad faking the English major just so I could have an excuse to read books. My MO when it came to papers and participation was "Think of the most outlandish thing you can. Now argue it." I'm not entirely sure the profs ever caught on...
My move in date for my co-op is September 15th, but I have yet to finalize all the arrangements of the trip. I might be going out sooner, I might be going out later. I might take two weeks and see the country...or I might drive out in two days on a caffeine bender.
It all remains to be seen, but thank you for asking!

Heh heh heh. Back in high school when I was a barista, my coffeehouse had a hangover special called 'Wake the *freak* Up.' It was basically a thick smoothie of espresso ice, powderized coffee beans, several additional shots of chilled espresso, lots of chocolate, a banana, and a goodly scoop of vanilla froyo. We'd also throw in syrup shots if you asked/couldn't handle the coffee. I was a fan of a touch of Irish Cream.
That thing rivaled amphetamines.

A combo of Golden Monkey and matcha would be jarring enough for me. "Matcha Monkey?":shock: Hehehe!
