caf-fiend.

This coffee isn’t working the way I hoped it would. I still can’t focus, as table after table of people sit down and leave, sit down and leave. I should be studying, not people watching. But it is hard to concentrate with all of these conversations going on around me. A husband ranting to his friend about his conniving wife, a mother talking about her daughter getting suspended from school for taking pills. Another mother helping her daughter practice reading with the label on the potato chips bag. Workers on break, complaining about hours and rude customers. Couples silently fighting, saying everything they need to with their body language. At this rate, I’ll never be able to focus. My textbook is still open to the same page it was an hour ago. Maybe I should have another cup of coffee.
