April and I the past several days have loafed about, but this afternoon we endeavoured to accomplish something, and therefore went to Starbucks to study, which felt highly unusual from our routines (in our respective college towns) of sitting in locally-owned coffee houses. Neither of us drink coffee, either, so April became easily bored with her hot chocolate and I downed a mocha frappuccino as though I had never tasted one before. April did some Arabic, and I read through Goethe's published elegies, plus one of the group he published later and apart from the originals (too scandalous).
Afterward, we walked around The Evil Mall, found nothing of interest, then drove back to the plaza next to Starbucks for lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant. Then we had ice cream, which nicely complemented the barbeque pork I consumed.
Jetzt muß ich Deutsch studieren.
