Mission: The Archan Job
Location: Gorgio's : Archa IV

Samanthia exited the classroom, stifling a yawn as the lecturer droned on in his lecture nearly putting everyone asleep. She wondered if she should've gone for the other Professor in Archeology that was offering the same course. But then she had heard that the professor was even worse than this one and a leech. She shifted her carry all bag strap to her shoulder as she made her way towards the nearest exit to breath the fresh air to chase the cobwebs from her mind that every students had suffered. All ready a few students were discussing transferring over to the other professor.

She needed this course to complete the Ph.D. she was going for in Archeology and she would be set free to explore the galaxy in search of ancient civilizations and finds. "Yeah Right..." She muttered softly as she made her way to Gorgio's to meet up with her friend Selene, then it was back to the starbase to make the mad dash to each of her establishments to see how they was managing without her.

She smiled as she found a seat out on the patio like area that had extra tables under umbrellas to provide shade. She tossed her book bag onto the nearby chair at her table as she sat in in the chair. She looked around at the other students busily within conversations with friends and new people who shared their classes. She nodded to several other students she knew from previous classes and friends of Selene.

Some of the other male students smiled at her, seeing if she was alone or meeting up with another student or male friend. She checked them out as she knew they was checking her out. She still had her looks, but more mature than the average student. Some looked at her as if trying to figure out whether she was a student or a new Professor here to teach at the Archain University.

"What will you be having, Miss?" A young Archain Student that was working there to get extra money for college and what ever else the student may need extra money for.

"I'll have strawberry milkshake along with a side order of chips. The cheesy favored ones." Samanthia spoke softly, just loud enough to be heard clearly by the Wait Staff.

"And a chocolate shake for me!" Selene sang out as she sat in her seat, letting her bookbag drop to the concrete deck next to her. "Gosh! I hate first days of class! Blah! Blah to ad nauseum of what to expect! By now, the professors should know that we've heard same opening class remarks before!"

A few nearby students overheard Selene and gave a chuckle and a few "Yeah!" "Think we've forgotten from the last class we took!" A few remarks shot her way, getting more groans and twitters of soft laughter. "At least I was able to get caught up on my sleep!" To more laughter. "Or sober up if you had morning class!" Remarks shot about the patio to laughter and good natured ribbing from friends and others present.

Samanthia nodded to Waiter to accept Selene's order, "Double the cheesy chips," giving a few giggles herself at the remarks being made, while waiter updated her order and took off with a chuckle of his own. Looking at Selene, "I know the feeling. Maybe I've should've brought coffee to class just sip on to stay attentive."

"The professor would've either kicked ya outta class or snagged some for himself along with the rest of the students." Selene looked thoughtful.

"I'd charged at least some money for a shot of coffee. I'd be a rich woman right now if I did.... At least a lot more wealthier than when I entered the class of torture..." Both of them laughed softly as they settled back in their respective chairs.

"You got that right. But then you'd have to bring in at least a lot more than you need for self consumption to be able to do that." Selene looked over the other patrons, checking out the males.

"And pay the professor a cut of the profits. Or free drinks." Samanthia muttered to more giggles between them as their food arrived and set before them.

"Have coffee in each classroom where ya can grab what ya need when you need it." Selene spoke thoughtfully.

"But then everyone would parked around the coffee and beware of those who were late." Samanthia spoke with an eye roll and more laughter.

"Good point. Just bring yur own coffee to class.." Selene waved at a few friends she had spotted and waved them over to join them at their table.

"Have sticky floors and desks for the rest of the day! That will go good with other students following the first class of the day." Samanthia nodded to each newcomers to the table. Her bookbag ended on the deck next to her chair within a pile of others.

"Sticky floors?" One student looked puzzled at Samanthia, pulling up another chair to join the crowded table.

"Discussing bringing coffee to class for the first day class lectures." Samanthia replied smoothly. Getting more remarks and repeats of earlier comments from others arriving late to join in on the conversation. Getting the usual laughs, snickers and giggles. A few play-acting at professors subjected to invasion of coffee and other stimulant drinks into their classrooms.

After a good general laughter at the antics of others, conversation turned to more prevalence matters at hand. Study groups, parties to attend, general passing of information on professors to each other. Setting up dates for more private get togethers, Passing of general news that is prevalence and could effect the students.

Samanthia dug through the pile of bookbags, packs, purses and other carry all types carry stuff for her own bookbag. "I gotta run. Being manager of businesses, I can't stay to long." Once her bag was secured, she gave a few well known friends hugs of friendship to include Selene. She sniggered as she walked off, knowing S'er'in'e will giver the third degree of all different smells upon her personage. But good friends always get a parting hug, since it was an Archian custom amongst the best of friends.
