Vatsanaxayphone Detoudom: 4 February 1997

Last Friday, my friend and I went to UConn to pick up one of our friends to come back home for the weekend. We left home at about six o'clock and got there about half an hour later. When we entered the building, we heard the music playing so loud I thought they were having some kind of party. We went up to my friend's room and saw them playing a Nintendo game. Most of the students go back home for the weekend but there were still many students that live too far away from home to keep going back and forth that they must like staying in the dorm. After a while, we went to the student union to shoot some pool. It was fun while it lasted. We made a team of two and bet on each other. Whoever lost more games had to pay for the table. It was fun for us because we shot them out for the first three games. It must be because we were not afraid of losing and played however we felt like it, while the other team was arguing with each others for not making an easy shot. We played eleven games and won eight games and they were about to close the room in about half an hour. So I said to them we will play one more game and this time whoever loses will pay. This time I had no idea what went wrong with my team; we suddenly couldn't make a shot. I thought, well, they just got lucky on their last chance. They were so happy to beat us and laughed their head off because we had won so many games and I had to set up a stupid rule to make us end up paying for the table.
