August 6

No classes on Fridays! We all slept in and then Jillian had a breakfast date with a guy she met on the plane on the way over here. Too bad there wasn't as much of a connection off the plane. =( But at least she's getting herself out there and trying new things! =) I made some breakfast and then got ready to go downtown for a pancake lunch date. The pancake house was in an old church, so it was pretty cool actually, and it's open 24/7! I was pleasantly surprised how well the date went, so we'll see where this goes... My expectations are pretty low because I know I'm not looking for anything serious, just having some fun. So it's low pressure. Then I went to the bank to sort out some stuff so I could pay rent online, automatically. Jillian and Lina met up with Ashton at a mall, so I just went home and took a nap, made some dinner.

Here's a photo of the Pancake Manor:

We went out to Caxton Street for the Quest Society Party, which was OK... Met some new people, but nothing too exciting. There was a raffle with some pretty good prizes. Jillian and I won free movie tickets!! Well, when I say we "won" them, I mean in the way we have both won raffles before: the winner gave his prize to us for being so damn deserving! ;-) Anyway, Caxton Street is pretty dead on non-game days. So, once we left the party, we were shocked how empty the bars were. We decided to go to the Valley for a better scene, but when we got there, half the places were empty too! I guess Friday is not a popular night to go out... They still pour the WORST drinks. Lina and I watched in horror as one girl bartender poured half a shot into the glass, and then shook HALF of it out in a shaker, dropped the shaker a few times when trying to twirl it, and then proceeded to fill the rest up with soda. We ordered shots to pour into our drinks and it still wasn't strong enough. I'm getting really tired of this... Instead of getting drunk, the alcohol just makes me tired, so by the end of the night, I'm always in a bad mood and just want to go home. Oh well.
