Mid-term week is approaching. I’m stressed, over exerting my body at the gym and running on no sleep. I wake up this morning and as per usual make my daily pre-subway Starbucks stop. I wait in a 10-minute line, pay then come to find that there is no light Frap mix to make my Venti Coffee frap LIGHT. They ask me if I want the regular, but I decline. My conscience can’t deal with the extra 300 calories added on in the regular frap as compared to the light. Now I am angry. All I wanted to feel was the cold slushy caffeinated frap climbing up the straw, hitting the warm interior of my mouth.
Upset, and not caffeinated I head down the steps to the subway. Its almost 8 (don’t ask me why I left so early for a 9:35 class) and there are masses of people waiting for the local downtown 6. I manage to squeeze on the already packed train, and still coffee less I grew more and more angry as I was forced to play twister just to find something to brace myself while the train was in motion. I listened to two women get into an altercation because one had pushed the other, rolling my eyes at the stupidity. Obviously people are going to be pushed; we were packed into the car like cattle waiting for the slaughter. I myself was straddling the man in front of me…. he owes me 20 bucks!
Heading up to the main part of Grand Central Station I saw a couple par-taking in some PDA. Great. I don’t know your feeling on Public Displays of Affection, but I don’t even have the option to display my affection in public because I ain’t got no man. The most public lip action I get is sucking my frap up through my straw as I walk the streets.
I exit Grand Central, now near my school building; I get my Starbucks (orgasmic), and start to feel stupid for being upset about such meaningless things. I’m young, healthy, and living in the greatest city in the world. I am in college, I have great friends (they are basically my New York City Family), and I am content with myself- something a long time coming. That’s when I turned that old frown upside down!
