A NIGHT ON THE TOWN I ' m so glad it ' s Thursday night. We can go to Rickey ' s. So am I. Thursday is such a good night. Everyone is always there. Well, I don ' t know about tonight. The Islands is having a good special. I ' m going to the Islands this weekend. I ' m so glad it opened up. Gainesville a place like that. Yeah, the Islands is great. I can ' t be. lieve some of the good groups they get to play there. The groups are so much better than the groups at the Rat. It ' s funny. I never go to the Rat now that I live off campus. Me, either. I guess it ' s just a good place to go when you live on campus. What else are you going to do this weekend? I ' m going to go to happy hour at tomorrow after classes. Do you want to come? Sure! Two for one . . . I wouldn ' t miss it! And the best looking guys are there. I also have a date tomorrow night. He ' s taking me to Pinocchio ' s. That place is fun. They have some good comedians performing. It reminds me of a Las Vegas club where everyone sits together at one big table. Make sure you have reservations, because it gets crowded. I ' m pretty sure he made them all ready. Do you want to eat at Joes Deli tonight before we hit Rickey ' s? Sounds good. Want to split a gator tail with me? Sure. I haven ' t eaten all day. Maybe we should go to the Islands after Rickey ' s. What do you think? Well, I ' d rather stay at Rickey ' s all night, but if you want to go the Islands, we can go Saturday night. Okay, that sounds good. Do you know what I like about going to school here? Every night there is a place with a special! Yeah, Monday night Joe ' s Deli has pitchers for two dollars; Tuesday is happy hour at Bennigan ' s; Wednesday is ladies night at the Islands; Thursday is free at the Rat; and you can go to Rickey ' s Pinocchio ' s, and everywhere else during the weekend. M. Klarman Kinks Rickey ' s is a popular place to meet people and have fun. The Missing Persons perform in concert at the Islands. 42 Night On The Town

J. Costa Welcome home, roomie! How ' d it go? Ugh. As usual, I had a busy day. So did I. Tell me about it. Well, you know I had a big exam this morning, right? Yep, when did you stop studying and go to bed? I didn ' t. I was up all night studying and drinking coffee to keep me awake. Bummer. And to top it all off, when I got to class, the teacher had already passed out the exams. I made my grand entrance and then shimmied between the rows to get a seat. I bubbled in my answer sheet only to find out that I skipped a question and had to redo the whole test. How do you think you did on the test? I heard it was a killer. It was. If I ' m lucky, I passed. If not, maybe next time. What did you do the rest of the day ' ? After the test I went to the HUB to buy some school supplies. I ' m sure glad the lines go down after the first two weeks of classes. I was not in the mood to wait in lines. Tell me about it. I had to wait an hour and a half for a computer today. And when I finally put in my program, the computers broke down. All that time and work — gone, in a puff of smoke! Sounds like you ' ve had a great day, too. Hey, what time is it? I want to get my laundry done before dinner. Do you have any change I could borrow for the Nope, but it wouldn ' t do you any good anyway. I was just down there and it ' s going to be busy for a long time. I saw one guy go in there with four huge trash bags full of dirty clothes. Oh, great! Well, I ' m going home this weekend. Maybe I can wait ' til then and good or mom can do it for me. Sounds like a good idea. What are we going to do about dinner? I ' ve had it with canned ravioli and popcorn. Let ' s go out somewhere. Okay. But let ' s not stay o ut too late. I ' ve got to go to the library tonight and write a paper. And I have a meeting tonight, too. I wonder what life would be like without classes and studying? I don ' t know. It sure would be differ- ent, though. C ' mon, let ' s go. I ' m starving. The library provides peace and quiet. Dave Adinaya and Robert Dubois do Gator Jaws at a football game. GPA gets busy between classes. Some students spend all their extra time in the rooms. Life As A Student 41
