I like math. I mean, how could I not when mathematical information is practically encoded in my Asian genes? But I digress.
I'm not going to lie. I have an incurable weakness for flavored coffee. Starbuck's, unfortunately, does not offer flavored coffee and additional flavor shot would cost about $0.55 more bringing my large (but since we're talking Starbuck's term, Venti) coffee to $2.50.
And then I discovered Espress Oasis, conveniently located inside the Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC, if you will.) Coffee flavors change daily and I can get a large coffee for $1.90. YES! Come exam time, I chug the Hawaiian Hazelnut flavored coffee with skim milk and Splenda like no tomorrow.
Another favorite drink at EO is the scrumptious sugar-free chai latte. Yes, sugar-free can be just as yummy, if not more. I was a late bloomer when it comes to chai and ironically enough, this was the first place I had ordered chai. Creamy, frothy, aspartamey, and full of spices... mmm! Needless to say, the chai elsewhere simply cannot compare to this wholesome goodness.
I had to knock off a star for the s l o w service, especially during peak hours. Seeing how we're talking hospital time, peak hours means 6-8am (although one could easily argue that it's just about any hour of the day.) So feel free to take a powernap while waiting in line. Chances are by the time you're up, you'll see that there are only 5 people ahead of you, as opposed to the 20 or so.
And just for the record, I never liked math, but advanced calculus just killed the last bit of tolerance I had for math. read more
