restaurant. They truly know the meaning of “fast” food, because by the time you get to the end of your order, the first part is ready on your tray. This is especially great because they don't sacrifice quality. The burgers aren't kept under lights-- they are made fresh, which means you can ask for no onions (or whatever) and they will do it without a big fuss. The fries are always nice and hot. Wendy's also has the best prices with their 99 cent menu. The rest of their prices are about the same as other places, except with Wendy's you get better quality and quantity.

The staff is generally nice and polite, and don’t try to rush you through. While

Wendy's really gives them.

The only negative comments | have about Wendy's are that the buns tend to be cold, and the drink mix is too watery.

| enjoy going to Wendy's because they have a nice atmosphere to eat in-- it's comfortable. | also really like the fact that | don’t have to clear my own table!

found a good time at the Old Dublin Pub on Sydney Street in Charlottetown. On Saturday nights, the Old Dublin is host to Gordon Belsher. Gordon is a very entertaining singer and even takes requests. | got my cultural fix for the month (as well as a sore throat from yelling along with everything) when | heard Barrett's Privateers, Sonny's Dream and the Unicorn Songall inthe space ofan hour. David Weale would be so proud.

Oh yeah - this is at least in part a restaurant review. | suppose | should mention food. | have also been to the Old Dublin during supper hours and found the spot to be nice for a quiet meal at a low price. The entrées, such as chicken fingers and salad, are good and rumour has it that their potato skins are second to none. The Old Dublin is one of those fine restaurants which gives out lovely chocolaty things for free if it’s your birthday. You also get sung to. The staff at the Old Dublin is excellent. | recommend the Old Dublin Pub to anyone who is hungry, whether merely forameal or foranight's entertainment. | give The Old Dublin full marks-- five barrels of stout.

P.S. Ina slightly different class is the Claddagh Room, downstairs at the same address. The Claddagh room is more of a dress-up and know-which-fork-to-use restaurant with a delightful seafood menu. Maybe if the X-Press will loan me its Diner's

Club card, I'll review them for next week. Shannon Younker

‘What really matters

By Faith Hunter

Eight reasons why school stresses you out

1. You didn’t do your reading (for today, or last week, or....)

2. You forgot to save your three thousand word essay before you turned off the computer.

3. Your professor hates you (and you don’t even know why, because you’re never in class to ask her).

4. You're malnourished (you can’t afford education AND lunch).

5. Your degree is costing you so much money that, by the time you get it, you won't be able to afford a frame.

6. You can’t hear your professor’s lectures over the snoring of your classmates.

7. Your final exam is worth more than your car (and your life, too, if you fail it). 8. Exam week is so stressful for you that it should carry a mental health warning.

Eight things you can

do to reduce stress

|. Try reading your textbooks with your eyes open.

2. Spend as much time studying history as you do studying your girlfriend/boyfriend. 3. Watch the professor occasionally (even though your classmate is cuter).

4. Think more positively (positive you'll fail your history test, positive that...)

5. Don’t procrastinate. Start papers the day before they're due, not the day after. 6. Say as little as possible in class (if you talk, the professor may realize that you

‘don’t know what day it is).

7. When asking for an extension due to the death of Cousin Fred, remember that this excuse works only once.

8. Relax-- there’s more to life than school (Right?!?).

Now you're thinking: “Is she always this corny?” NO! I'm only this way under very specific conditions: when I’m alone, and when I’m with someone else (Boy, the drunker | sit here, the longer | get). Well, gotta run.
