Coffee Addict: French Press Coffee

How many cups of coffee do I need every day? Or...should the question be "how fast can I make a cup of coffee when I have a nine o'clock shift in the morning?" Anyway, I got this pretty French press coffee maker.

 Bodum Chambord 3-cup French Press.

 Actually, I was a little doubting about its 3-cup capacity after I opened the box at home. But, well, this may probably turn out to be a better situation for me cause it limits the amount of coffee I can have for one day.

I made my first French press coffee this afternoon. The coffee was organic Serena blend with medium roast. I expected to have citrus and floral tasting notes. Hmm...it was very smooth, right temperature (just perfect for sipping), and full-body flavor. I was not so sure about the floral taste, but the citrus one was obvious, wandering around my palate. If I want it stronger next time, I may have to mix one scoop of coffee with less water like 3 oz.

What a Week

 So…I've got a pretty stressful week. And here you go…...a sty eye on the left side!!!!!! It's painful, swollen, and tear-running all the time. I guess I deserved it because of keeping reading my previous work on chapter 1 & 2 of my dissertation. My eye could not stand the unfinished writing.

Finishing two chapters, should I just take a break and go somewhere to relax myself? Oh, yep...sure I should. 

Ladies and gentlemen, please meet my new friend Herman Wells, the 11th president of Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. 

We had a nice chat that afternoon. 

I told him that he could use some cardio exercise. 

He suggested me: you think writing a dissertation is difficult? Wait until you become the president of Indiana University! 

Hahahaha…...well, he got a point! (though it's not like I have a chance or anything!)

I was on the E. Kirkwood Ave. 

Behind me is the Indiana University in beautiful sunset.
