I find your description of coffeehouses to be closer to my description of graduate life at a research institution, except for the fact that your graduate peers are ostensibly your friends. The way I keep my stuff from being stolen or sabotaged is to not do any writing - they can't steal what's not there. But that's a whole different story. This is an excellent example of powerfully personal and descriptive writing, Amy. It's nice to know a brilliant writer spent some time hand-in-air to the rhythm of overproduced hip hop while trying to maintain balance due to inebriation.

Still do, occasionally. Glad that my opinion of coffeehouses is not universal - maybe I need to give coffee another try. Maybe I'll find new depths of productivity fueled by more caffeine than my body knows what to do with! Ah yes, I spent a bit too much time dancing to horrible music and flailing/falling on my ass.
