Last week, Alex and I took the subway over to Pioneer Square to visit this cafe that I have been seeing all over Instagram. It was brightly lit by the large windows, and its minimalistic design was so pleasing to the eye. Everything I saw on Instagram was true! So I ordered an iced mocha, and we sat down to work on a bit of Communications homework.
Unfortunately, the coffee wasn't the best I've had, and I would have preferred to have been sipping on some Ugly Mug mocha instead. In a way, this coffee felt more diluted, and if I'm paying nearly five bucks for a cup of coffee, it better be a dang good cup of coffee. On the plus side, I got to take these snazzy photos for the coffee shop I probably won't visit again.
Of course the "insta pic" wasn't the only good thing to come out of it. The service was very friendly, and I got my homework done just in time for class. Since Alex and I were in the area, we also visited this little corner restaurant called La Bodega, a Dominican restaurant, on apparently the "shadiest" street of Pioneer Square (though we didn't know that at the time). The food was really good and I'd eat there again if I was in the area again! It was really cute there, and I wish I had taken photos, but it was quite small and I felt awkward/rude snapping photos of people eating their lunches in the small restaurant.
Honestly though I've been so tired from working + commuting + school + homework, and I'm finding it difficult to reach my goals of socializing with new people and making new friends. Ironically, work is the easiest part of the day since I momentarily get to detach myself from school and people and just focus in my little cubicle on what I'm doing. It's almost therapeutic.
With the rest of the year to go, I foresee many more cups of coffee to be consumed.
