2/29/12 Day 48

Wednesday! Today was optional and I bet you would take the day off right? Well, I decided not to. I knew even though I had work I would just be on the computer all day. I found no point in doing that and since they made the class trip start later, I figured it would be fun to go to Hampstead park. It turned out to be a really fun time. Got to walk around the park a lot, feed the ducks and swans (the black ducks are the most vicious), watch some of the girls go swimming in the pond , eat lunch on parliament hill and on the way to the park we passed where George Michaels lived. Not all in that order but that’s basically what we did. It was a lot of fun and I thought it was a lot better spent in the park then in the flat where I know I would have just been online procrastinating on my work and loosing a full day to nothingness. Later, we came back maybe around 4ish pm. I took a shower and ended up going to dinner with Krista to a place called the Heritage Inn. It is a Caribbean food place. We went because she has been dying for some Jerk chicken and finally a place that has it. It was a new place for us to explore and it was a cute place. She ordered her jerk chicken and I got oxtail. It was the only non-spicy food they had and I don't like spicy food. The food was great the drinks were another story. I had a pineapple punch. I figured it was like fruit punch but just more pineapple. It was actually really disgusting and very thick and was icky. Thankfully I was able to get some tap water. In the end it was still a nice place. We had actually planned that night to go to a pub quiz (a trivia games that pubs will hold). Before we headed to the Westbury (club/pub on our street) to check it out we saw a bakery shop on the way to the bus stop and decided to get desert before the pub quiz. I got this chocolate type cake thing. It was pretty good and Krista got the strawberry kind. We stuffed our faces while on the bus so we would not bring it into the bar. When we got to the Westbury we just got a table and watched the pub quiz go on since we missed registration and ordered some drinks. Soon enough Amy had joined us and after a while Vikki and Amanda came as well. By the end of the night I had a screw driver, sex on the beach, pina colada, 2 crack baby shots under 2 hours. If people wonder why less alcoholic beverages get me a little more than they should its because I drink them quite fast. After that I ended up heading back to the flatts around 10pm since I had to get some work done and Thursdays are my busy days. When I got back I just went to my room did some stuff I needed to get done. I guess people think its funny to make fun of me when I drink. I don't think people realize I don't get drunk enough to black out and not remember what is going on. Some of my roommates thought it would be funny to tell me how wasted I was and how I was using up my minutes calling my parents (in which I had lengthy conversations with about things we needed to talk about such as birth right and etc.) and all that type of stuff. I'm not going to lie I was getting a bit annoyed because I don't make fun of anyone else when they are drunk so it was a bit obnoxious at times but I bit my tongue and let them have their fun at my some-what expense. That was basically my fun filled day. Now Thursday. Oh the fun day of just classes. Yayness.
