Quotes!

When I first applied for this internship I had no idea I would be paired with another intern nor living or working with them day in day out. When I first met Alicia, my partner in crime.... er... I mean partner in saving the environment here in Puerto Princesa... I will admit I was a little nervous, she seemed pretty easy going but a little shy. However after our two months of facing cultural barriers and many different foods and festivities we have developed a unique and quite hysterical friendship. Alicia is from Cape Breton, NS but has lived in Newfoundland and attended both MUN and MI for the past 4 years now, her accent can sometimes be as thick as mine... I blame it on the newf boyfriend. Anyways we have been keeping a quote book and I thought I would share some of the hilarity with you. Hope this makes you smile and potentially laugh a little :)
