dollar cappachinos

my favorite part of the day is when i get my dollar cappachino from the cappachino man at the train station. this is such a staple part of each day that i just feel compelled to write about it.
so first off, the fact that the cappachinos (not to mention nearly everything else in the stand) is only a dollar is reason to celebrate in itself. you'd be hard pressed to find a coke under $2 never mind a coffee. so when i discovered that not only were the cappachinos cheap, they weren't half bad, i was pretty stoaked.
in addition, i've become good friends with the cappachino man. he now knows what i want without asking (cappachino, skim milk, my own sugar). so he holds out the cup for me to pour in my sugar and makes my drink while asking me what i need the caffiene for that day. so i tell him class or studying or something like that. he agrees that it sounds pretty boring and coffee is a necessary thing, takes my money, and i'm off to my train.
it's a simple thing, but it's a nice consistancy in my life. a familiar face and a smile of recognition is enough to brighten anyone's day. plus, a little coffee in the morning doesn't hurt either.
