Old Chapters.

As soon as I got back from my cottage over the long weekend I went right to work on the managerial accounting assignment that is due soon. I sat in my room with my computer and papers spread out all over my bed. During times I would have to get away from it all and head downstairs to warm up some pizza in the microwave. I then would sit on the big brown couch and eat my pizza starring out at the curtains. This would be come a regular routine during the whole day. I only got away from the computer once when I had to bike over to the Lansdowne Mall to pick up some black ink at Island Ink Jet. I now wish I purchased the double pack for $45.00 dollars when I was in Kingston just this past weekend. I had to go on yellow.ca to find out locations of computer stores to find ink. One particular store was listed as Peterborough Computers, when I called with my cell phone a woman’s voice answered simply with a “Hello?” in question. I explained how I was looking for a store called Peterborough Computers she sighed and had to tell me a story about how they are no longer in business, and haven’t been so in three years. I settled on Island Ink Jet and purchased the black ink for $28.86 dollars (plus tax).

I took some time and checked out the local EB Games in the mall since I was there and found a rare treat. Two old PC games were shrink-wrapped together and on clearance sale for $3.99. OpenKart and Warm Up! by Microids. I can’t resist buying old computer games with the ridiculously large boxes and the person behind the counter had to tell me the story of their locations in the store over time and how they originally were priced at $45.00 dollars roughly.

I biked back home to continue working on my homework. It’s very intimidating when you’re riding your bike around and all these cars are zooming past you all the time, even if you’re on the sidewalks. It makes me wonder why everyone couldn’t just bike around town; they’d save so much money on gas.

When I arrived at my temporary pad in the Peter Robertson Place I immediately installed my new ink cartridge. I had to change the printer settings so that it would only print out on grayscale using only the black ink. I then went to print out my assignment and realized I had no printer paper. Just one of those days I thought. I printed it all out on lined note paper instead. It actually looked really cool seeing all those income statements and formulas printed out on that type of paper.

Finishing up my assignment took longer than I thought and I couldn’t get it done tonight, so I realized I skipped out on class for nothing. I’ll have to finish it in the morning I suppose. I already e-mailed the prof with the usual excuse that I had family issues to deal with. In reality I didn’t have a laptop to do this damn thing when I was at my cottage all weekend. A laptop would really make my life a lot easier being stuck here in Peterborough for the summer. Many of you don’t know this, but I am jumping onto someone’s connection, and it’s really unstable because I believe it is really far from my location. With a laptop I could really just carry it around and connect at coffee shops and what not. Oh well. I am only here until June 14th anyways.

Well that’s it for now, it’s been so long since that I wrote a real blog post, so you’ll have to excuse if this one is really all over the place.

Peace.
