A pretty good week off of work
Well, Friday was my last day off from work. From Tuesday to Friday, I used up the last of my paid holiday days (I get 15 paid holiday days a year plus 12 sick/personal days). Okay, so here's what I did (brace yourselves, this is a little long).
Tuesday
I went to Red River Community College to apply for a distance education course. I needed to take a day care related course as part of my job as a child care assistant. It's mandatory amongst child care assistants here. Oh, and the day care will reimburse me about $100 - $150. Afterwards, I went to Canadian Tire and had a new battery installed in my car. I'm preparing for the winter. I barely started my car last winter, and I won't let it happen this winter. Then I went to Kildonan Place for some ITG 2. I managed to see Bong, Rob, Paul, Juju, Ashley, Lawrence, Liz, Darren, Al, Johnny, John (little po), Braeden, Sami, and Mike. We had a good time. Oh, and I managed to see Liz get her first AA on Sexy Planet Oni when the two of us briefly went to Rucker's. Great job, Liz!
Wednesday
I get a call from Red River Community College approving me of a distance education course that I could take. It's a course on physical health and safety at the day care setting. I gave them my address and they will be sending me the textbook, notes, and assignments to me. I have to complete the assignments within 6 months of receiving the package. It cost me $289. I picked up Karly from the Health Sciences Centre around 3:45 p.m. and we went shopping at the Forks. It gave me a few ideas what to get Karly for Christmas. We picked up her mom at work and headed to her place. We had dinner and watched some television. Karly's dog Jimmy wouldn't leave me alone. While we were watching, Jimmy kept on nudging my hand as if he was saying, "Pet me, bitch!" Meh, Jimmy's a good dog. I left her place around 11:30 p.m. and headed home for bed.
Thursday
I met up Karly at HSC for lunch for about a half hour. Afterwards, I went shopping downtown. I went to the basement of The Bay and I found a little something as a part of Karly's Christmas present. She likes Ed The Sock, so I got a Best of Ed The Sock video and it only cost $2.99. I headed for Kildonan Place for a little ITG 2 action. I met up with Bong, Rob, Paul, VJ, Braeden, Ashley, Fernando, and Al. Man, I can still here the singing of "Sweet Dreams" in my head. Bong, Al, and I were singing that at the arcade. I left around 6:00 p.m. and headed for Best Buy. I finally got a network adapter for my PS2 and another small part of Karly's Christmas present. She has like six or seven Game Boy Advance games so I decided to get her cases for her games. It was $4.99 for eight of them. I got home around 7:00 p.m. and tested out my adapter on DDR Extreme 2, I played a 4 song non-stop course and I ranked in the top 100 (#21 to be exact). I went one on one with a guy on TwinBee Heavy. We both AA'd the song but my opponent had 8 greats and I had 12. Oh well. I played a little NHL 2K6 afterwards and then I played some 1942 and 1943 on my Capcom collection game. The hockey and Capcom compilation game cost me $40 U.S. total (plus tax of only 6.5%) when I went on that weekend with my girlfriend to Fargo.
Friday
Tried to go online with my DDR Extreme 2, but I couldn't challenge anyone. I could connect and see my ranking but when a challenger would face me, it would say that it couldn't connect. Oh well, at least I managed to go online with my NHL 2K6 game. I downloaded updated NHL rosters onto my memory card. I headed for the UMGA open house and saw Bong, Drew, Tannis, both Pauls, Braeden (who I scared at GPA's at the University Centre), and Adrian. Paul (not Pyko Paul) and I came to a conclusion that night. Red Bull doesn't taste that good. We each had a can, had some sips, but it didn't appeal to us. Meh, someone's pain is someone's pleasure. Anyway, I managed to play a bit of Bubble Bobble and Street Fighter III there. I picked up Karly from work and we had dinner at McDonald's. We won a free small coffee and a cheeseburger from that Monopoly contest they're running. I took her home afterwards and kept her company. I left at around 11:45 p.m. and headed for Pharaoh's. Some girl ran up to me there and gave me this huge hug. I forgot what her name was but she was so glad to see me and dragged me onto the dance floor with her female friend. Boy I get the weirdest luck when it comes to women and I don't even try. The music was great as usual, but they didn't play Shooting Star that night. Oh well. We all left at 2:30 a.m. and headed home.
Well, that's my Tuesday to Friday thang. Night night for Cliffy boy!
