Day 84: Grease Monkeys

 Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom!

"This assignment sucks" was frequently uttered during our attempt to work through it, often with expletives.  Essentially we had to look at a product called Grease Monkey Wipes and how the marketing factors involved in a hypothetical situation where they would enter into the Canadian market.  The product, a cleaning wipe, did not impress us.  For the record though, I think I would've probably needed a Grease Monkey Wipe at that time to get all the crap off of my face that had built up over the course of the last 30ish hours.

Fast forward a few hours into the wee-hours of the morning, and we're done!  Aside from our presentation for Communication (CMN124), this was probably the other big annoying pain in the ass for us.  So had we not been extremely sleep-deprived (It had been three days since I really slept for more than two hours at a time) we probably would've celebrated.  Alas, I think Andrei's one arm-hug of the wall was the best any one of us could muster.

One particular thing that caught my attention though was the hot dog stand pictured below.  Apparently it is usually there pretty much 24-hours a day.  Although later in the night a van pulled up and the owner slept in that, or so Lindsay told me on her way back to her place on residence. 

Ford for Mayor?  Rob Ford?  No.

Much of the morning was unventful after we finished.  We finally played a game of Age of Empires, although not really as much as any of us probably wanted.  Some folks were making noise at around 7 or 8 AM though, waving signs and yelling Ford for mayor.  I was unimpressed, save for the fact that a bunch of people picked a pretty crappy time to try and promote something.  Commute home was largely characterized by sleep, as was the rest of the day. 

About halfway through the slew of assignments and what not due before school pretty much ends.  Much of the urgent stuff is over though.  Just couple papers and projects left.
