I am currently at Barnes and Noble and thought it would be a cool idea to write a blog as long as I’m here. That is really the major perk I was intending to bring up; going to Barnes and Noble. I love coming here to write, work, and also drink their wonderful, wonderful coffee. I got a hot White Chocolate Mocha today. I usually go for the sweeter ones. I’m one of those people coffee aficionados may not consider a real coffee-drinker, when taken into account I inundate my coffee with a barrage of flavored creamer and spices so that it ends up looking like straight milk.
I was a bit disappointing today, as the cafe did not request my name when I ordered my coffee. What purpose do I have for disappointment at this turn of events? I will began explaining by saying that no, I am not so egotistical that I simply like to hear my name called. The reason I was somewhat dissatisfied is that my friend and I recently came up with an intriguing game that demands our names be requested. This game is rather unsophisticated; we simply buy coffees and when they ask for our names, we provide fake ones. It can be especially amusing if one is buying a coffee with someone else, because then he or she may use the names of some famous duo, such as Sherlock and Watson. This, of course, works exceptionally well at a bookstore like Barnes and Noble. The past two instances they have not asked for my name, which is rather sad, since I have had an idea for one for a while. I thought I could say Primrose Everdeen.
Get it? B-because she is called as…as tribu-oh nevermind…
Although it just occurred to me that perhaps this may be even more interesting with a partner. For example, I could be Primrose, and someone after me could be Katniss, so that when the employee calls for her, she might yell, “I volunteer as tribute!” Yes…I know I am dorky.
Another reason I love Barnes and Noble is due to their impressive manga section. It is not that they have an abundant variety, but more so than many stores. It is rather funny to me, I did not really become involved in reading manga until this year. Now I even own an edumanga. Yes, it is what it sounds like; an educational manga. My edumanga is written concerning linear algebra. It is actually quite beneficial in understanding where formulas and the sort originate. However, I have yet to finish it. I am stuck at Gaussian Elimination.
One more reason I am fond of Barnes and Noble is due to the fact that it prevents me from dawdling my entire afternoon. I feel a duty to be productive, since it would be slightly odd to sit in a bookstore just to watch a television show or daydream. So, usually I at least do some sort of writing here if not schoolwork. I actually spent a good deal of NaNoWriMo here. I find it relaxing and cozy.
Now that I have finished my rant on the wonders of Barnes and Noble, I would love to hear what you think. Have you ever been to Barnes and Noble? Did you like it? Why? Or perhaps you like another bookstore better. What is one of your favorite spots to visit when getting work done? Share in the comment section below. I look forward to hearing from you.

So, I am asking my mother to buy something at the store and bring it home later. Anyways, you know what would be awesome on the last day of school? For everyone to bring in food, making it a potluck. Unfortunately, people don’t do that, but you could start the tradition! Bring in some sweets, just make sure not to just give it to your ‘friends’. I am going to give it to my entire class, and if there is extra, some to the teachers. I would like to give them to the entire school, but I can’t make that many xD
