Day 39

Today I met Helen, one of my friend's roommates.  She's a quiet girl of Asian decent but lives in Norway.  It was a relief to finally meet a Norwegian who didn't make me want to die my hair blonde, lose 20 pounds and giggle at everything.  We all went to get coffee, stop and an art fair and grab some fruits and veggies on the way back.  I tried my darndest to really get to know her but she was extremely shy, adorable, but shy.  She seems like an awesome girl and I know why my friends are fond of her.  She wears minimal makeup, flannel shirts, colorful scarfs and cool ankle boots.  I'm sure I would love her, the only problem is...she doesn't drink coffee.  What a horrific discovery.  Given that my student life revolves around several cups of coffee a week, I'm not sure if I could ever get on that well with a non-drinker.  I'm not ashamed to say it's my drug of choice and I should really admire people like Helen who don't give into the divine but evil quality of coffee.  Kudos Helen.
