room with a view

It's probably been at least a good 6 years or so since the last time I actually studied for anything, but I guess now's as good a time as any to get started. Too bad the week I choose to start studying just happened to be finals week at Davis. The library was packed, no open seats at starbucks or mishkas, and there were even kids studying at quickly's (never imagined I'd be able to concentrate there with the blender whirring in the background and the bootleg movies blasting on the TVs). With no open study areas in town, it was time to turn the living room into the study zone:

it started with some chemex coffee...

...followed up by a little oj...

the smiley-face wine from trader joe's isn't as pleasant as it looks.

after next week, this town should be back to normal, with the kids out of town and the library/mishkas/quickly's reclaimed by locals. Until then, looks like the study zone will be in full swing.
