Just when I thought this summer heat will melt me alive, the fever broke and a new season began. Summer graduation is over and the professors have started to return. Over stuffed cars, moms and dads, wide eyed freshmen, preoccupied seniors, and “bouquets of sharpened pencils” swarm campus.
This summer could be described as bi-polar: relaxing yet exciting; unstressed yet overworked. However I must admit, for the first time in many years, I am ready for school to begin. I would like to say I have long anticipated the opportunity to further develop my education and intellectual prowess in hopes of becoming more than a mediocre member of society.
But truthfully I just miss the coffee.
This will be the third year working at Jazzman’s Café. Each semester my friends ask, “Are you still working at Jazzman’s?”
Like every job, it has its frustrations – the temperamental coffee grinder, the repetitive music that haunts me in my sleep – but the bottom line is I love my job. How great is it to make and serve legal stimulants every day? On top of that, our Jazzman’s crew is the best to work with.
No matter how much studying I need to do, or how cold it gets to my warm Floridian blood, everything melts away at the first sip of a double shot, toffee nut white mocha with extra foam. Unfortunately this, Serge, last year’s retail manager, is leaving. He was an amazing boss and even better friend and I know he will be missed.
Being a senior, I look to life beyond college and I shutter with anticipation and apprehension at the unknown. There is so much to figure out! Still, let’s not get too worked up. For now I’ll do what I’ve always done with a book in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.
