Midterms, Poker, and Colt 45s

This past week was the week that I had my oh so lovely midterms. I kinda of lucked out with my school though, during midterms here there aren't any classes. Of course that also causes people to say "hey that's so easy on you guys, we have to go to class during midterms and ours are spread out more". Yes fine part of this is true, not that it's easy, but that others are spread out. Some people I know have midterms spread out over a month during which they need to write them. But think of it this way, all that stress and studying that is involved with midterms that you have to deal with for a month is still equal but crammed into 5 days (actually 4 days for me). So after writing my 5th midterm in 4 days my brain was completely fried, not tired, but so amazingly scattered and fuddled up that I was finding myself randomly blurting out jargon at the oddest of times. So in celebration of our completion of midterms we decided to go out drinking. The plan was to meet up at the Billiard club with a bunch of people from our class but beforehand a few of us were going to go play poker at our friend's apartment. Ah yes but when one goes on the bus one can't take open alcohol. Of course there was a run to a local liquor store involved here with myself and other-matt (together we form the Mattastics). Neither of us knew what to buy until we came upon the Colt .45s, ok...I came upon the colt .45 and just started laughing. They didn't have what I came looking for so I figured why not buy it just for a laugh (I really wanted to drink it out of a bag, hobo style). Being a beer snob of sorts it was quite disgusting, actually I think everyone was grossed out by it, but mostly me. Let me tell you though, drinking a 40 of that stuff relatively quickly because it was gross does wonders for your inebriation. Meanwhile, while this consumption was going on we were also playing poker, and I have quite the reputation for poker let me tell you. A reputation for being really bad at it that is, but this time for whatever reason I was cleaning the table and really really wish that we had been playing for money. urg I could have made so much...Yes, right now I realize that this is going nowhere quite quickly thus I will end it abruptly.
