The Octagon Bar: Cut class and come on in!

[Techie2000]

My books were expensive. I got seperated from my people so came back to the dorm thinking they'd be here, but it's empty...

I might go back looking for them.

 

[U2democrat]

Yeah college textbooks are freakishly expensive.

 

[Techie2000]

okay they returned back to the dorm after a bit, and I showered and stuff, now it's night and boy I am tired abnormally early. I am only staying awake because there are girls down the hall and they might come in this direction

Is this even a bar anymore?! Where's a girl to go to dance and get a drink?

A word of advice ~ amazon

Even for international orders it can be a lot cheaper than the uni bookshop.

You can still order drinks. We had sambuka and baileys not to long ago

I had a great friday night.

It was all swing music, poker and vodka.

I didn't hang around for the 4:00am aftermath though.

Poker

How about we start a game here in the bar? Shuffle up and deal!

 

[A_Wanderer]

Well anyhow university finished around 3, went home, got changed and headed out to friends place a few suburbs over.

Then by around 8 a few of us had met up.

At 9 we went out into the city, and that was all good

Got back to his place at 2, started playing poker, that wound up well enough,

Then when that finished we had a series of elaborate drinking games ~ my head was spinning when I went to bed.

It was a great night, good clean wholsome fun; except for the drinking, gambling and other stuff

I got a call about 5:00, they had opened up some sort of Sambuca knock-off; it sounded like the dregs of that evening.

 

[U2democrat]

w00t! my next class isn't until 3. i'm loving college!

I don't know how to play poker...

But I would like to learn!

 

[U2democrat]

I learned everything I need to know from Celebrity Poker on Bravo

 

[Adam'sbaby]

So poker is easy to learn

 

[U2democrat]

Well the rules are....but learning to read other people and avoid being read is a whole different matter.

No friggen kidding!

I've finished my two year associate's degree, but the textbooks over two years(six quarters - that's six batches of classes to buy books for) ranged from $40 to hundreds of dollars. Lucky for me I had a scholarship from a high school vocational track that was paying for those books. Never had to pay a dime. Those books should have gold plates in them for what these people are charging.

 

[U2democrat]

You're very lucky.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

mellencamp's knees are disturbing me

[the rockin edge]

[U2democrat]

[the rockin edge]

[U2democrat]

I just spent $51 on TWO books and a personality test thing.

Plus I have 5 or 6 more left to buy.....

 

[Adam'sbaby]

^Damn those books.....

I'm gonna go buy some of the books I need tomorrow and I'm mentally preparing myself for the worst

 

[U2democrat]

Life's not fair, is it? I just got back from my 8 o'clock class and my roomie is still in bed asleep

*goes behind the bar...finds something with caffine*

[Adam'sbaby]

I just had coffee...

 

[U2democrat]

I don't really like coffee

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

would you rather me go back to his ass?

i'll allow it

 

[U2democrat]
