Coffee shop theater

Trying to memorize the cardiovascular system at Franklin Street Coffee when the table next to me becomes my own personal soap opera. This girl is explaining to her friend why she can’t date this guy from her psych class because - and I quote - “he uses too many big words and it makes me feel stupid, but also he pronounces them wrong half the time so now I don’t know if I’M the stupid one or if he is.”

I’m sitting here with my anatomy book pretending to be fascinated by ventricles while internally screaming. Then her friend goes “Wait, which words?” So the girl starts listing them: “Supposably instead of supposedly, pacifically instead of specifically, and he said something was very PHOTOGENIC yesterday when he meant PHOTOGENIC.” I think she meant PATHOGENIC but honestly at this point who knows.

Trying so hard not to burst out laughing at the table next to me

The friend just stares at her for like thirty seconds and goes “…Maybe you should date him. You two seem perfect for each other.” I nearly choked on my latte. Sometimes I love this campus so much it hurts. Also I think I just learned more about human relationships than I will in my entire psych textbook.
