I survived a 7pm-7am overnight shift at work followed directly by an 8am-3pm shift at my internship. 24 hours with no sleep and constant movement with no falling in the ground, passing out, or exhaustion crying. I am a machine.
(A very tired machine who is wondering if she can keep this up for the next 9 months)

People of Highland Coffees: Maryland Batiste
It’s hard to think of anyone more recognizable in Highland Coffees than Maryland Batiste. A long time Highland supporter, Maryland has been warming hearts at the shop since 1992. You can normally find him on the armchairs by the door, headphones on, listening to music on his computer (a donation from a Highland regular), or on the courtyard telling stories to friends and strangers.
“Clarke has done a lot because he helps people in so many ways and knows all about the community,” says Maryland while sipping on tea. “I was sad when I got the news [about the closing].”
Over the years Maryland has become close friends with virtually every Highland employee. Two years ago Highland employees, alumni, and shop regulars set up a fund to pay for Maryland’s new dentures. With Clarke’s blessing and support, and donations from the community, the fund raised several thousand dollars and Maryland got a new smile in July of 2013.
“We don’t need to lose this institution,” says Maryland, “it’s like family and a home away from home. If we lose this place, I wouldn’t know what to do.
