Red Bull is the worst. Has zero effect on me.

I think I'm some sort of lightweight when it comes to Red Bull, because that had me up until after 6 in the morning without being tired. I had 8:30 classes that day too and got through it pretty well.

Anyways, we've gone really off topic haha.

Vanilla bean frappucino is the only reason I ever go into Starbucks. Apparently they're one of the worst things you can possibly eat (amplified if you get it with the whipped cream), lol.

For some reason those things never seem to work for me.

The two times I drank rockstar, ever, I was still sleepy less than an hour later

(Coffee doesn't work for me either, actually)

I agree with jc0390. Im not into frapps, but the specialized drink options that stand with me all the time.

Im talkin' 6 pump sugarfree hazelnut, 1/2 soy 1/2 nonfat.
Ah well, i'll trek it down to the Locke Street location. How far is that from the campus?

it sucked..and STUNK fumigation doesn't work well when the windows have a lock on how far they open and with small corridors..

which is this residence you are talking about? is it Les Prince by any chance?

..I never understood the draw with starbucks. I tried them a few times (not the coffee admittedly since I dont drink it, but the specialty stuff) and I did NOT think them worth half the cost they charge :/
owell to each their own

on the subject of houses. I was lucky and got a nice one for under 400 with everything included within walking distance
had to look for like 3 months for it though ^^;

I <3 Starbucks Frapps!!

Classic Caramel is the ultimate best

I'll just add that I hate coffee and I laugh at people who are addicted to caffeine.

I also don't really drink hot drinks in general... the only time I do is hot chocolate on very cold winter days (which we don't really get around here).

Mmmm Hot Chocolate. The Tim Horton's hot chocolate reminds me of those good old Carnival D'Hiver I used to participate in back when I was in elementary school. Fun times ^-^

soooo far off-campus that I'm on another one. har har


slash word to the wise: DO NOT rent 84 Westwood or anything by F. Nasreen - HORRIBLE landlord. HORRIBLE! we had squirrels living in our walls, I had no lock on my door for the longest time (and when they did come around to fixing it, they did a piss poor job and I ended up having to ask my dad to do it), and our carpet had huge holes in it and was hella old... annd there were 7 people shoved into this tiny house with one tiny kitchen to share. I only opted to live in it because of the relatively low rent but trust me, it was NOT worth it. (yes I've posted on macSHARE)


AND one time, when one of the rooms needed filling, she was going to put this 50+ year old in the room who looked like an ex-con. She said she was seeking the 'university experience.' creeped us all out to the point where we made this poster:

^ OMG LMAO THAT AD IS HILLARIOUS !!!

hahahahahahahahaha, did you end up finding a housemate? or did you get stuck with the ex-con?

lol I can't get over that ad, so funny!

Enjoy that massive pile of dirty dishes that will inevitably form on every elevated flat surface :p

Lol, I think there are a couple neat freaks in our group of friends so it shouldn't be too bad.

Nice, I'm pretty sure I have a few of the polar opposite, lol.

That was a stressful week.. "Janice" was her name and I believe she came to see the house on a Sunday and she was going to come back and sign the lease on the Wednesday. We were freaking out! We had such a limited amount of time to get someone to sign, which prompted these random adverts... which luckily worked! We found an awesome housemate who signed on the Tuesday night!!

As for the kitchen thing, you really really do need to get a plan together. Last year, there really were two of us out of seven who did any cleaning whatsoever. If you're one of those people, it gets plenty aggravating.. and the worst was that all the dishes that were being used were also provided by the two of us.. If you are in a house sharing the one kitchen, make sure that you've got everyone equally committed to maintaining it! Otherwise it'll all fall a part. By the end of the year, the other girl who cleaned pulled everything out of the sink and put it in a garbage back with a note that said, "If you want to cook anything, then you can reach and here and clean it like I have to do every time.".. Nothing changed. I ended up bringing the bag home and doing it.. sigghh

One time, I was gone for two weeks and the bathroom I shared with two guys was literally black when I returned. Sooo nasty.

The landlord was no better. We had a baadd centipede problem. My one housemate couldn't sleep in her room out of fear of the creepy long-legged buggies. When we should have been given something like a dehumidifier, the landlord put down this dust stuff that she bought somewhere for $5... did nothing but make a huge mess.

The whole in the roof where the squirrels go in and out is still there just as it was.
