Starbucks vs. The Real World

My world generally consists of two (and at times three) things: 1. School 2. Work (3. Social Life: which goes hand in hand with work, as most of my friends work with me.)

Anyway, what have you been up to since the end of the semester? Are you full time at Starbucks? Which one is it, anyway? Don't worry, I wouldn't come down and do something silly - just interested!
