It’s GO, GO, GO at Shad UNB as always! With CT projects due tomorrow and Open Day activities to plan for, chaos reigns and the Shads don’t stop! Even this morning, (the only morning we were allowed to sleep in!) the computer labs were packed with Shads working on projects.
9 o’clock brought the moment for which many of us had been waiting for the past 3 weeks: DOWNTOWN FREDERICTON DAY!!! Splitting up into groups of 8, we headed downtown and ‘Shad pace’ even increased slightly in the excitement! First stop was the market, where Simosa Delite, along with various vendors selling fresh fruit and homemade smoothies, were mobbed by a crowd of 58 starving Shads searching for breakfast.
With the sun beating down, any open door blowing cool air into the streets was a popular place to be. Judging from the number of paper bags labeled ‘Geek Chic’ that came back to campus, however, we all know which was the MOST popular! Perhaps the most well-known store to UNB Shads, Geek Chic provided us with endless entertainment, from lightsaber chopsticks and periodic table shower curtains, to nerdy t-shirts with ridiculous slogans… only at Shad!
Back on campus this evening, the final night of project work was pandemonium! Line-ups for the computers, groups panicking to cram last-minute details into business plans and put final touches on prototypes, and the campus running completely out of paper. Now, with most projects ready to be handed in, UNB Shads are ready for…? a morning to sleep in?
