Coming To An End

Hey,

As reading week draws to a close nearly I think its time to reflect on the weeks activities as I can tell you now that reading week isn't for reading because no student I know actually has done.

So Sunday came and I got a phone call from Kat asking if I fancied a trip up to China Town and Kensington Market to show Sian around the place. I didn't realise it was -13 when I went out so I had Kat and Sian constantly asking me if I was ok as I went out in a jacket and cargo pants. Turns out I didn't really feel the cold until we were on our way back after a Tim Hortons stop for hot chocolate (This was 4 hours after we set off). Anyways through the markets of China Town and Kensington we went into numerous costume shops and tried on some stuff as people are getting ready for St. Paddy's Day which isn't for another 3 weeks. Sian got a few things from China Town for home and then Kat insisted on taking Sian to the condom shack which was kind of like a small Ann Summers with a Canadian twist sort of. Had some laughs in there for what we found from badges to novelty phones etc, etc (I'll spare the details).

Tuesday was Pancake Day and apparently Mardi Gras so at work we made face masks and at the ILLC after work Sian, Kat, Louie, David and I made pancakes with orange and lemon juice, sugar, ice cream and golden syrup. Such a good night as none of us knew how much of each thing to put in so we played trial and error, which we actually got first time round so yay for us.

Wednesday was at Mick E Fynns with the gang for a nice relaxing night and I shocked everyone when I said I wasn't drinking. I even shocked Adrian (guy who works behind the bar). Anyways we a nice night as I beat Louie twice at pool after his usual jokes about him being the best in the world.

Thursday was Sian's last night in Toronto so we planned to take her out to the Madison, which got changed to Piccadillys and then changed again to Brunswick house for a Cancun party. Eitherway Sian wanted to get absolutely wasted. So after god knows how much alcohol they had back at Pitman and at Brunswick we ended up chilling at Louie's until 6am. Sian just kept drinking all night even at Louie's. So silly for me had loads of energy when we all left Louie to finally go to bed. I just went back to mine, dropped off all my stuff and grabbed my gym stuff and went to the gym which opened at 6:30am and I played basketball and had a mess around for an hour and a half then crashed out on my bed at 9am.

Work when I woke up but before work I went round to Pitman to say bye to Sian and blah blah blah then of to work where we did homework for like 10 minutes (whoever had it) and then we watched Racing Stripes. It was better than I expected actually. Then I spent all night at Louie's watching movies on my laptop. Only on my laptop as he has got lots of dvds from England and realised that they won't work on his laptop as he bought his laptop in Canada and its not multi-region.

So this has been the end of my fun filled reading week in Toronto. Now back to lazy weekends and finish off some plans for next month at work.

Anyways best be back to that so catch you laters
