Cloudy's Cafe

Come in, be welcome, be comfortable, be yourself

Welcome to Cloudy's Cafe, a place to have a cup of coffee or a good
darjeeling and the finest in conversation and camaraderie.

The proprietor asks that you follow a few simple guidelines:

this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone

* no flaming; if you disagree with a viewpoint expressed by any patron, please do so in a civil manner

* any topic is fair game, but keep posts to the standards that Ziroc has set for the entire forum, please (ie: foul language is not appropriate and things should be suitable for all audiences)
-a side note from Cloudy: I see this as a place for those short
conversations about a new baby or the latest soccer fiasco, not for things that are big enough to warrant their own threads, by all means give those things the space they need and post separately!

* Please, no one word or smiley posts (Ziroc has declared them 'real spam' and the proprietor doesn't want the reputuation of "good spam" to suffer!)

* do feel free to be serious or silly and enjoy the company of others while you are here. By all means POST if you have something to say, even to start another topic , we can handle multiple chats, we're a CAFE!!! But be courteous and don't disrupt a conversation just to disrupt it.

Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around the world. And purple napkins, of course!

The lighting is low, the golden oak counters and tables glow with inviting warmth. Near the window, the lighting is brighter, as comfy, plush leather armchairs wait for those who'd like to read a book while relaxing to music or just lazily watch the world go by.

PLEASE NOTE

This is a modified reminder that I've posted before in reply to someone asking "can we spam the cafe". It still holds true, so I'm going to repeat it periodically for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Read the first post of the thread, it's NOT a spam zone. If you want to discuss you grades, a problem with a teacher,the weather, your neighbor's new car etc.....etc.. (real life conversations) this is the place. I don't mind a SMALL amount of spam but when the Cafe gets to be 8 pages in one day and it's all one liner pure spam, I have to ask people not to do it because most of the members who would come to talk about their day or things that they want advice or sympathy or cheers on, will not post in that atmosphere. I want you to be comfy here, but not at the expense of other members.

So the answer is NO, I don't want to see page after page of roleplay spam or one liner spamfests that could be done on msn or aim etc. because our goal is to TALK WITH one another , not fill up a cafe in five hours.

Howdy again, Cloudy!
Heh... finally read that little disclaimer post you make. Wasn't it so much fun, though, when we filled up the cafe's in 5 hours or less?
Got 61% on my math final. Not bad, considering my math mark(64%) and my actual time spent awake in that class. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well done Sir G, was that the exam where you were aiming for 20%?

I have maths tests in a week. Only need 14/50 to get a B (pass) and 20 something out of 50 to get an A (highest you can get on that paper).
I think I'll get in between B and A. The stuff we are doing is WAY to hard.
We work in modules, so group 1 does modules 8, 9 and 10.
Group 2, only one group below us, does modules 6, 7, 8. Their hardest is our easiest, so unfair .

Spent about an hour trying to get on top of a huge wall on WoW (one seperating two areas) and I found out there was a ramp leading up to it LOL. I felt so stupid when I found out.

Sold our house *again*. That's three times now. First time the buyers dropped out, then the second did the same, and now we are onto buyers number three. Means I can't move until end of July instead of start, no worries though.

I'm the 'lucky' one who gets to sort out everyones season ticket applications and stuff. Basically that means getting all the money and forms in, and sending them off before July 7th. It doesn't help when one person fills the form in wrong, but my corrections look fine [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well that was just telling you guys everything that has happened lately.

So how is everyone else?

[Sir Goulum]

Yeeeup. [img]tongue.gif[/img] They had a lot of easy questions on it, that I could just do on my calculator. That's the only thing that kept me above 50%.

[Ivelliis]

Heh, well that's what it's there for! Problem with our exams are on the calculator paper there are questions about shapes, in other words questions where calculators are NO use whatsoever.

I've got a math final exam tomorrow, but it will be much easier than the ones that you are taking. I mean, how hard can multiple choice algebra questions be?

Other than that, I'm freakin bored. This is probably the 12th time I've checked the forum today.

*tries to remember the last exam he took - fails* Evening, all. Strange day, but not all bad. Finally got my webpage at DeviantArt going. It is really nice. Check it out, here.

*Looks around the Cafe, poking the decor*

Wow, I haven't been in here for a while. I've been more busy than I care to be, so I've had to cut down on my internet socializing time.

Had a few weeks in November and December where I was spending 80+ hours a week doing exam prep and writing papers. Much different from you lucky slackers who are doing measly math tests. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I was working in spring as part of my program, meaning that I have to be in school all summer. *Sigh* Only a year and a half left.

Welcome back, Aerich. A man get's tired of Fetnab's cooking.
