Because you order a no-room grand drip coffee (medium black coffee) every morning and more than 60% of the times, they get the order wrong. And you can not think how someone could get a simple coffee order wrong. So, you tried various tactics to place the order by changing sequence of words and pauses. They were:

1. Grande drip, (pause) no room
2. Drip coffee (pause) no room, grande size
3. Grande, no room (pause) drip
4. Grande drip no room-no pause
5. Grande no room drop-no pause
6. No room, grande drip-no pause
7. No room (long pause-count 123 in your head) grande (short pause-count 1 in your head) drip

Number 7 is the winner! If you follow 7, you have the highest likelihood of getting the medium black coffee you want.

And because you've attended our second favourite institution of learning (not counting life itself) Singularity University, who challenges all their students to have a positive impact on 1 billion people withing 10 years of launching their projects. And because at some point it will be a good idea to fall in love.

While cleaning we found a note with goals for 2007. One of them was to "Wake up earlier and actually go to school". That seems like a world away from the scholarly passion that we are now possessed by. And even if studying can be fun, if choosing between a world of knowledge and one of wonder, we'd go for whatever alternative that washes up bearded men on the beach, great adventures and grand illusions.

Because you look like semi-intellectual, charmingly goofy Columbia graduate student whose parents might have a swimming pool we could use on the weekends.

Something that we are definitely missing is the very handsome, well-dressed, intellectual, super smart student who loves a good home assignment as much as enjoying a dance in the forest rain or lying in bed writing love letters. Although we are still doubting his existence, Gant serves up three guys playing the part splendidly.

Our new favorite professor welcomed us to class by saying; "You've all heard that there is no such thing as stupid questions. And that's true. Because you won't ask them."

So, we'll just keep our mouths shut, ears open and possibly listen to some good looking music.
