The Cafe Watering Hole: PART DEUX

<p>I got my nothing this morning and I am neither content nor discontent.</p>

<p>I’m sure there is some bookstore that has a better selection in downtown Toledo or something, but I basically never go there for anything. The library’s foreign language offerings include Spanish and French dictionaries, and that’s about it.</p>

<p>However…</p>

<p>Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago.</p>

<p>My parents said if I planned a reasonably-priced trip, we can go on vacation anywhere over Christmas. So. All I’ve got is San Diego. Where else?</p>

<p>What is reasonably-priced?</p>

<p>idk. Just tell me places. I’ll figure the rest out.</p>

<p>how about a drive around the country?</p>

<p>That sounds incredibly boring. The US is way too big for that.</p>

<p>I think you should go to Toronto, where you can “marvel at the nothingness,” as you would say. Do you all have passports?</p>

<p>I think my vacation is going to be moving to Chicago in September.</p>

<p>No passports. Not Canada. Once you’ve seen Niagara Falls, you’ve seen it all.</p>

<p>Yeah, Canada. I went there.</p>

<p>Okay. Is this supposed to be for college visits, or just a vacation? Boston is hard to beat for college visits, even if you don’t plan on going to any of them there.</p>

<p>What would you do in San Diego that’s so special? That would be a better winter vacation than a summer one.</p>

<p>cold as fire baby hot as ice.</p>

<p>At least I admit when something is catchy.</p>

<p>San Diego would be a better winter vacation. Because I’m planning a winter vacation. And there are whales and things. And this is just a regular vacation, college schmollege. </p>

<p>oh my god canada. you don’t deserve caps anymore.</p>

<p>San Diego is the right choice.</p>

<p>I’m slowly becoming proficient at guitar. And I’ve read a million books. And I’ve improved my Spanish. And I’ve been writing. Who knew unemployment could foster such productivity?</p>

<p>I’m a disgrace to CC. I like affirmative action. Sometimes.</p>

<p>iknorite?</p>

<p>Oh right, you’re going over Christmas. San Diego wins. You can go see the whales and things.</p>

<p>While I’m sure that reading a monstrosity of a novel in Spanish is improving it a little, I feel like I can’t really improve it unless I actually interact with native speakers.</p>

<p>French Russian Chinese.</p>

<p>Korean Spanish Portuguese.</p>

<p>Spanish. Duh.</p>

<p>Isn’t your mother from South Korea? I’m surprised that she didn’t turn you into the model bilingual daughter.</p>

<p>Oh, the insanity.</p>

<p>I have Korean workbooks and stuff if you would like to borrow them, Ohio.</p>

<p>Too bad I never learned it though. Useful, what with that whole Kim Jong Il thing.</p>

<p>I may have finalized where I’m going to apply. I may have.</p>

<p>No you haven’t.</p>

<p>I was still making those decisions in December. I finalized it, but then I refinalized my list later.</p>

<p>I’ve heard stuff about how different North Korean is from South Korean. Apparently the fifty years of isolation has changed the language. Or not changed it at all.</p>

<p>What? No. Who told you that?</p>

<p>And I may have. I’m undecided on Northwestern, is all.</p>
