<p>Modulation, I love how you’re on CC in the middle of the school day. lol.</p>

<p>@ brooke18, Rice is a very wet campus. Each residential college has a 40K+ budget every year–among other things, at least a couple thousand is spent on kegs and alcohol in general for public parties, college events, and of course Beer Bike/Willy Week. A typical weekend may look like this:</p>

3pm- your college stacks turn on feel good weekend music and you chill with your friends in the quad
4pm- head down to Willy’s Pub for happy hour
6pm- grab dinner in one of the serveries or off campus
8pm- pregame with your friends or watch a movie
10pm- find a private party to go to or keep watching the movie/hang out
2am- go back to your college</p>

<p>SATURDAY
12pm- brunch in the servery
1pm- go to target to buy stuff you need
3pm- club meeting
5pm- early dinner in the village
7pm- go to a play put on by another college
9pm- pregame/hang out

<p>they only sometimes ID if you’re actually buying a drink, but anyone can get in.</p>

<p>Essay
I will write about a Table. How the table is important to me: In Africa my family and I were in a war and so we hide underneath the table from the bombs. Now, since I am in the USA for many years, don’t know exact number… but anyways, now my parents uses it to talk about bills and how will survive for next day. </p>

<p>So the essay will be a contrast of the use of a table in two different countries and two different situations.</p>
