Law Students

T and I were trying hard to be productive last weekend. We both find it difficult to concentrate and get our work done while we're at home. We hit the library's quiet room for a while, where I studied for the bar and find it relatively easy to focus. Unfortunately, it closes early on the weekend - 5pm.

We moved from there to the Au Bon Pain near the IUPUI campus. The quick meal was good, but we didn't stay long. We both needed internet connections for the things we were working on - the signal was weak and I couldn't log on. They didn't have outlets handy, anyway, so that wasn't a good choice.

Then, as a last resort, I drove us to a relatively new Starbucks just north of downtown. It's never a first choice for me because I don't drink coffee or tea, and Starbucks are typically crowded. This location was a good choice, though, because it's spacious and wasn't at all crowded. I bought a peppermint hot chocolate and we settled in next to the warm fire to get a little more work done before calling it a night. And that's when I discovered that the wireless at Starbucks stores isn't free. SO disappointing. I guess I'd been picking up other free signals on previous occasions at other Starbucks stores. As much as they charge for coffee, tea, and other crap, the least they could do is supply free wireless!

We'll be back at it tomorrow, looking for the perfect spot to work and study together. Wish us better luck than we had last weekend.
