Coffee, random comments, and quietness

Arsaga's is a comfortable atmosphere. Books line the walls when you first walk in, but the other walls were all windows. Its a nice day outside, sort of cold so but really pretty. Around the room there are a few people reading or studying or just trying to stay warm. There are a few couches, leather chairs, a counter with computers, and smaller tables. The guy behind the counter was a little strange but really friendly. I ordered my coffee and had a seat. I began trying to blend in by reading to begin with and started listening to the conversations around me. Two men seem to be talking by the window, but I couldn't really understand them. They both seemed to have a very think Indian accent. In the background, there was some strange music playing. I'm not really sure what kind but it was almost like reggae music. Everytime someone order coffee the woman would grind the beans and it was a very loud, distracting sound almost like a train going over a bridge. You would think that would get very annoying to some people trying to study but it didn't really seem to bother anyone. Outside, campus is pretty quiet, I guess most people are in class at this point. The few people who are walking around seem to be walking quickly to get inside because it is a little cold. I'm listening to the guy behind the counter and he's talking to the other woman working with him. She seems to be very uninterested in whatever he is saying. "We've sold a lot of soup this morning, this new kind seems to be a big hit." She responded by going "Uh huh." I was like geez give the guy a break its so quiet in here the guy needs someone to talk to. Whenever people come in to order coffee, they stare at the menu and finally order something but most people are so quiet you can't even hear what they are saying. The register opens and you hear the sound of change clanking around or the credit card machine printing out a receipt. I really like this area, it seems like all the students in the building come here quite often just to relax or study in between their classes.
