The clear and obvious abbreviation for Ithaca College is IC. But for those who do not attend this institution of fine and higher education don't know that it also stands for Insanely Cheap. Referring to where the hell does the $48,000 I pay each year go if I have to purchase a cup of hot water in the pub? Yes, that' right. This afternoon after enjoying a fabulous lunch with my dashing group of friends, I wanted to get myself some hot tea to take to my next class. I always carry around my own tea bags of different flavors in my handy dandy back pack, and most always I have my very own tea mug to go along with them. But today I left that mug in my car because I was running late to class, had a hard time finding parking, and my mind was all out of sorts with other thoughts. So I went up to the cafe and asked for a cup of hot water to accomodate my brought from home Cinnamon Spice tea bag. One of the greatest flavors ever, ps. And to my surprise I was charged .16 cents for a damn cup of water! I'm assuming, as you can see from today's picture, that it was because Ithaca College "Proudly brews Starbucks coffee". I just paid for the damn name on my cup. How annoying. Today's post was a bit of a rant, but in the grand scheme of things its just a little hiccup, nothing too serious. Plus, I just got some really exciting news of a surprise vistor arriving in Ithaca tomorrow so my mood has been turned around! Oh, and yes I took this photo during class.
