The end of the work week...

Soooo we survived week one of twelve of our final internship! Eleven more to go til we are real live SLPs! Woot! Woot! :D

We had another "night out" here in southern Regina on Friday. This time, we walked to the Southland Mall, about 40 minutes away from our mansion. What's in the mall you ask? The movie theatre, of course! It was Avengers day (review to come in another post). Perhaps the most amazing part of our journey there was when we both discovered a gargantuan green spinning cube. We blurted out "DOLLARAMA" at the exact same time! It was so incredibly adorable! Unfortunately, we had to walk past it in order to make it to the movie on time. It took every bit of self control and willpower we had to do this!

After the movie, we bought more expensive groceries using our Safeway club card. Despite the higher prices of nearly all food items here, bread is nearly about half the price (not hard to tell we are in the prairies, where wheat abounds).. Maybe we should go on a jailhouse diet, eh?

Moving on to Saturday, we had a little sleep in. It's amazing to be able to sleep in on the weekend, guilt free. Yah!!!! After brunch, we headed out to the local comic book store (Comic Readers on the "main drag", Albert street) for Free Comic Book Day. S was able to use K to get 5 free books instead of the 3 free books per customer. Yes! We then hit up the Dollarama since we were so excited after finding it last night. Exciting purchases including freezer bags, an umbrella, Tupperware and KD. Finally, we ended our excursion with a trip to yet another grocery store, this time ExtraFoods (it's like Maxi in MTL but with 4 maple leafs of different colors in their logo). This was an exciting discovery because 1) it's familiar to us and 2) it's more reasonably priced. We were actually able to buy chicken breasts without taking out a bank loan! Once back to the mansion, we continued our journey through Pamem: Katniss and Peeta, you crazy kids. This basically means that K read the Hunger Games out loud while S listened and occasionally fell asleep to the sound of her voice. Hopefully finish the book soon and have another movie to review.

In other news, we seem to have a new arch nemesis who takes "our" tv at the end of the hall! We will have to figure out how to deal with this problem before the next episode of "insert food network show here".
