Day Twenty-Three

Day Twenty-Three - April 7th, 2009

This morning I helped take pictures of a Doctor in the AVC giving chiropractic therapy to a horse. My job is so weird sometimes.

I also helped Sarah move out of her apartment this afternoon. It was a pretty big job, she rented a U-Haul and everything! Did you know its only $20 dollars to rent one of those big trucks? I kinda want to rent one, just for kicks. Anyway, it was kinda sad to see her move out of there; she had a few fun parties at that little place. At the same time I think it was time she left.

Back to paper writing.

Ciao,

Patio.

Day Twenty-Two

Day Twenty-Two - April 6th, 2009

I don't have much time and I don't have too much to say.
Worked on my paper all day, so I didn't do anything exciting.

Wooooo.

Exciting I know. We are almost free though! Just another couple weeks!

In the meantime everyone should watch some Chi-City videos. I never get tired of this guy.

Cheers,

Patio

Day Twenty-One

Day Twenty-One - April 5th, 2009

Today was a complete write off.

After sleeping in until 12:30, I spent the rest of my day doing the following:

  • Watching youtube videos.
  • Reading Alchemy.
  • Cooking food.
  • Reading photo websites.


Most of the day was spent reading the above book though, which is definitely a terrible idea during exam time. I just can't get it out of my head that a month from today I will be on a plane, with four of my best friends, headed for another continent. I thought being addicted to Tetris during exam time in first semester was bad for the work ethic, its got nothing on planning a trip to Europe.

Cheers,

Patio

Day Twenty

Day Twenty - April 4th, 2009

Hearing from a totally irreputable source on the internet that there was a minuscule possibility that the Frosty Treat was open, we decided to go on an adventure.

It was a sunny and warm afternoon, so Kate, Laura, Isaac, Connor and I ventured to Kensington to get some ice cream at the Frosty Treat. Known for its delicious soft-serve ice cream, diner food, and annoying commercials ("Don't drive by! Drive in!"), The Frosty Treat has become a favourite of anyone within an hour drive of Kensington.

We weren't going to miss an opportunity to go there on such a nice day. but by the time we had gotten close to Kensington the sun had left and was replaced by some dreary clouds that were definitely foreshadowing the fact that Frosty Treat would be closed. Seeing this once we arrived we changed our game plan and booked it to Summerside in search of Micheal's Pizzeria. After a couple calls and some u-turns we found the place and put in an order for a giant pizza. Having twenty minutes to spare we wondered around the bustling city center that is Downtown Summerside. On our walk we discovered stickers advertising www.vampirefreaks.com, were made fun of for taking pictures, and were belatedly April fooled (we think) by the Baptist church. It was an interesting walk to say the least. The Pizza was pretty good too.

Later that night I picked up my friend Bethany and we headed downtown to see 'The Lesson' at the Guild. It was a one act play put on by a local theatre troupe called Sheep-for-Wheat. It was hilarious, dark, and very well orchestrated. Chris, Meaghan, and Kelsey put on a very convincing performance. Major props.

Even later that night I met up with Katie, Tristan, Chris, and Jeff and drove out to Al Doug's for his birthday party. It was whitetrash/southern style themed; this made for some interesting costumes, especially Tristan's :S *shutters*. Jeff decided on the spot to become a southern baptist minister and I became the liberal vegetarian cousin from New York who was in town for a family reunion. I couldn't find my cutoff jean shorts, so it had to do. It was a good time, but I was definitely ready to go once 3:00am rolled around and everyone seemed sufficiently drunk.

Cheerio,

Patrick.

Day Nineteen

Day Nineteen - April 3rd, 2009

Laura and I are serious about taking pictures.

My apologies for not having a picture attached to this post. I had actually taken all sorts of pictures today, but I left my camera/kitbag in the office at school, so that I wouldn't drunkenly break something. Don't fret though, once I get my camera back, I will edit the picture into this post.

Today was long and tiring, but I had a lot of fun. In one day I managed to go to the dentist, get a filling, take pictures with Laura down at peakes quay, dress sharp, attend the UPEISU banquet, catch THT's set at the cafe, hang out with Katie Darrah and co., and go to hunter's for Brenton's birthday.

Tomorrow night should be fun too. We're going to see The Lesson at the guild, followed by AlDougs birthday party maybe? Hmm? Yeah? We'll see.

Goodnight,

Patrick

Edit: edited for picture.

Day Eighteen

Day Eighteen - April 2nd, 2009

Last class cupcakes, deliciously provided by Darrah.

Besides work and hanging out with Laura, these are some things that I did today:

-Finished my third year of classes at UPEI.
-Ate so much DQ.
-Witnessed Jeff'm trying to throw up on K-Rock
-Watched almost an entire season of ANTM (skipping over the drama/reality crap).

Productive day Patrick, good job. After Saturday I am really going to have to study, but until then...

More reality TV!

Cheers,

Patrick

Day Seventeen

Day Seventeen - April 1st, 2009

I think it was somewhere between pumping coins into that contraption at BK trying to score some free sodas and photocopying our hand prints at Walmart that Jill and I realized we don't act normal for our age. No biggie.

I'll let Jill take care of this entry, I think she summed up my day fairly well.

April 1st- Give Away Your Money Day v.2
Patrick and I have made this a tradition. We hit up Burger King and won small fries and a large softdrink playing their coin game. Then we went to Jumbo (saw Mallory!) and got free popcorn, a bunch of gumballs (no free rentals), a spongebob sticker, and put a bunch of dough in the Children's Wish donation boxes. Theeeen we went through the McDonalds drive-thru twice and put money in their Ronald McDonald House slots that are right under the windows. Then we bought 5-cent candies, through money in a kindergarden yard, made photocopies of our hands, left them in an abandoned binder (owner: Katie Hood). We also threw a lot of money out the window.
Also, unrelated to giving money away, but related to getting stuff for free, this morning I got a free slice-a-pizza and a free movie rental from That's Entertainment just for being in the Student Center. Big day!

Those kindergarten kids are going to thing they struck gold tomorrow. In case you were wondering what 'Give away your money day v2' is, you should check out Jillian's Holiday Calendar. It provides a lot of fun adventures, like the one we took today. It ruled.

Other things that ruled today:

-Lost
-The haircut Laura gave me.
-Finishing my Entrepreneurship class.
-Melcat april fooling me by telling me my jeans were red. She got me good!

Goodnight,

Patrick
