Rocking The Roost & Chilling in Pyjamas

When third week of second semester is already over it seems like that there are some traditions that just doesn't change: Thursday is the Roost day, the most social day of the week. By that I mean that if you haven't seen your friend during a week for some reason, Thursdays in Roost is the right time & place to do that because simply everybody are there. The pattern of the evening is more or less this: Gather around to someones place around 8-9pm to hang around with some of your friends. After few hours, around 11pm go to Roost, upstairs to our "international corner" and meet rest of your friends there during the evening. In the case that you don't anyone (is it even possible?), open the conversation and make new friends... International won't bite and they like to have chat :) Roost will close around 1.30am (early, I know!) and then if you are hungry go and have a taco fries (gift from Ireland to the world) and go home or just go home without eating.

I wondered why Roost has become the most popular place among exchange students because obviously there would be Mantra on Mondays or Brady's on Wednesdays that haven't achieved even closely similar kind of popularity. After thinking and talking with some people I made a conclusion: Mantra is just a nightclub, Brady's is could be also counted as nightclub even that there is the ground floor without DJ / Band. Everyone of us who are here can go to club when they are back in their hometowns but in Roost there is both live music and club and it is the live music that makes it different.

After parties in Roost on Friday people usually feel more or less tired, that's the reason for the basic rule of academic timetable in here: Don't choose any courses for yourself on Friday :p So on last Friday evening what would be better way to relax than have a pyjama parties. People made or bought something "evening snacks" (warm toast, pancakes, nachos etc.) which we enjoyed with hot chocolate / tee and of course with a great company.
