Todd:So, Alex, you're still at university.
Alex:Yes, sir
Todd:So, what's a typical day at university like?
Alex:A typical day at my school, let's see, well I would usually get up, well last semester; I would get up around 8 or so. My first class would be at 9:10. It'd be an hour so around 10:10 I'd get out of class, you know, have lunch, and I was actually a part of the college radio station
Todd:Oh, really.
Alex:So yeah, I'd hang out there, play some music, you know, joke around, play some pool, go to class. It wasn't too bad.
Todd:Yeah, where do you play pool?
Alex:Oh, well, anyplace that I can really. There's a pool table right next to my radio station at school so I usually play a lot there - a place called Mr. Pockets, too, where I live. They're pretty inexpensive so, I play there too, but I'm not very good. Like the pool table at my college was, it was a bar pool table so you have to pay money for it, 50 cents a game, and I must have put at least a hundred dollars in there and I'm not any better than when I started out, so I don't know.
Todd:That's OK you have other talents.
Alex:I guess.
Todd:What's the allure of pool? Why do college kids like to play pool?
Alex:Oh, I have, it's really a mystery, it's very ambiguous. I don't know. It's just the pool tables there and something with hitting balls with a stick into little holes, maybe, but it's a lot of fun. I don't know why I like it as much as I do but even though I'm not so good I like to play some pool.
