good lunch

Had lunch with my mentor this afternoon. We went to a new izakaya right next to school. I had tonkatsu lunch, and it was alright. 50% of what we talked about over lunch was about academic/research, like which classes I'm taking next semester, upcoming research projects, and thesis ideas. I almost had indigestion from talking about all these academic stuff...ugh. But overall, I had a good lunch meeting with my mentor.

I couldn't sleep until 4am last night...don't know what's going on with my sleep schedule. I just need to start getting up at decent time, I guess. I'm just so super exhausted.

Just a random thought--I love hanging out at a coffee shop. In fact, that's the only place where I can get a good amount of work done. But I just hate the smell--coffee smell-- I get all over my body and whatever I bring to coffee shop. the smell doesn't go away that easily. Everything, including my hair, coat, bag, books, and paper, smell like coffee for days. This is the only thing I hate about coffee shop! Oh, and another random thought. Ever since I moved to NY, I've been noticing that people don't ask for your permission when they want to share the table with you at coffee shops. They just sit at your table without asking you. A few weeks ago, I was drinking coffee at Dunkin Donuts. Then, some old guy asked me if the bag that is sitting on the chair is mine. I said yes, but he asked the same question gain. So, I asked him if he wanted to take the chair. Can you imagine what he said? He said, "what do you think? you already got a chair, and i need a chair to sit." Then, he just sat at the chair without asking me if I would mind. This type of thing seems to happen quite a bit. Or, at least, it happened quite often to me.
