Hey!! Christmas was great, I got some really nice things, my mom had bought some stuff while in NYC for me, so that was very nice. I also bought myself a digital camera for x mas. It is pretty nice, it is a 5.0 MB and it has movie mode. Also Richard bought me a memory card for it, so that was nice. Yesterday I went to the mall with Jackie. I bought a nice top for tonight, whatever we're doing. I also bought some nice smelling body spray and lotion from AE. I hate shopping in there. The sox are $6.99 each, it is ridiculous. I had that gift certificate for there so I used it. I bought my shirt with the gift certificate that nanny L had given me. Richards mom gave me a nice top from Old Navy. Mom and Rich got us a cordless phone, but it's not working to great right now. Sam says that he can't hear me talking back when he calls on his cell. So I've got them both plugged in right now.Lisa bought me a nice mini bar set and some funky glasses. She alos got Sam some nice beer and it came with a nice glass, he's already used it a couple of times. Anyway gotta get going, Jackie, Shannon and I are going to the mall, Jackie has some gift certificates at Sears. They match prices, so I think she's going to get the same camera as me. It's 399$ at Sears and only $219 at Zellers. write later.

Today was my last exam, woohoo!! It was at 9am. The only thing was that I forgot to set my alarm clock and woke up at 10:21am. I jumped out of bed, put my sneakers and coat on and ran to school. I got there in six minutes. I was still in my pyjamas!! I knocked on the door and I told my proff that I was sorry and had slept in, she let me go in and write my exam thankfully. I wrote in about an hour and a half. This exam was alot easier than the midterm. The exam only covered part of chapter 6 and 9 and 10. It was alot less to know. I think that I rushed through some of it, but I know I got the majority of the true and false, and multiple choice questions right. I don't know how well I did on the short answer. I know I passed but I don't knnow how well, she is a really hard marker. I got my second essay back though and I got an 82% on it, so that was a relief. Now I'm done for the semester though, I don't have any other exams. I have the rest of this week to do a little xmas shopping and then the puppy and I are going home on Saturday. There were still alot of people in the class room after I had left, they had been there the whole time too. I didn't find it super hard, it would have been good to get some more studying this morning, but I didn't think it was that hard. Anyway I'm going to go take the puppy to the for a walk and to the mall. Zellers doesn't mind her. She just sits in the cart. Write later...

I think I did really well on my Deviance exam! I've been sick and hadn't' studied to much, there were ten review questions and I only actually wrote out 2 of them, I kinda studied the other ones, but not a hell of alot. The two ones that I did write out though, were the ones he chose to give us on the exam, there was a third question, but it wasn't to hard. I went out Thursday night, after my exam, with Jackie and Julia. Apparently I got quite drunk, I personnally don't remember to much. I had a cherry martini, 2 smirnoff cesars, a smirnoff ice, and 1 1/2 beer. There were these two guys who were buying Jackie and I drinks all night. Jackie got me home safely and sam took care of me for the night. I have my social welfare exam on Tuesday, and then I'm going to go home hopefully. The puppy is still up here, I don't know if mom and rich are going to pick her up tomorrow or not, if they can't I won't be going home until Friday. Jackie just invited me to go play pool with her and some of her friends at about 10pm. I think that I will start to review some of my social welfare before I go out. It would b e good to know how much I have to do tomorrow and Monday. And Sams christmas party is tomorrow night at 7pm, so I 'll only have the day to study. I think that I'll go do that now........write later

Today was a good day, mom and richard dropped the puppy off yesterday. She's going to stay until this Sunday coming up. Yesterday was the christmas party thing at Jackies and Shannon, there were six of us there. We drew numbers and the presents that we brought were numbered so everone got a gift and gave a gift. There was a 15 dollar limit, so that it would be fair. I got a $15 dollar gift certificate from American Eagle and three chocolate bars. I never shop at AE, they are way to expensive, I'll be able to buy some socks, I guess, I'll wait until the boxing day sales and see what I can get with it. It was fun, we all ate way to much junk food and sat around talking. Tonight was Shannon's 20th birthday, her and Jackie invited me over for supper and cake. Jackie and I made the cake after supper, it was chocolate. We made it look like a penis and used the extra batter to make muffin sized little cakes, which turned out well to use as the balls. We got some pictures, it should be funny. We ate way to much cake though, we're all going to be sick tomorrow. Sam and I went to zellers today with the puppy and I bought her this super cute suede jacket, she doesn't mind wearing it either. She is such a great dog. I'm going to do some stidying tomorrow. I'm going to go watch shrek 2.

Today was the last day of classes for our first term! Then we have a reading period, and after that exams. I'm very glad that I only have two to write. I got my second essay back, he gave me a C+, which was very generous. I'm going to rewrite it, so I didn't put to much effort into it, I had alot of other stuff to do. I turned in my rewrite of my first one, so hope fully that'll be in the A range. I did pretty well on my social work paper too, compared to all the people behind me anyway. I got 21.5 out of 30, some of the people behind me only got 15, and one only got 14.5. That's the proff who is very unprepared too. Tonight I'm going out to the social club until 12am, cause they have$1.75 beer and mixed drinks, and then we are going downtown to sweetwaters, they both have no cover for the ladies, so Sam will have to pay coiver twice, maybe I'll pay for one of them for him. He got paid today so he gave me his share of the bills. Jackie and I went to the Regent mall around 2:30pm to find a new bar shirt for her to wear. We searched in September for one for me, I found mine at Walmart!! It's a cute little beige halter top. We went to every store in there, and finally we went back to one and Jackie found 2 bar shirts (well I actually "found" one for her), they look great. It's amazing to find bar tops in this city. Jackie and Sam don't get off until 10pm though, but I'll just do some reading til then, actually, to be quite honest, no I won't.I'm not going to lie about it. Mom told me that her and the puppy are coming up on Sunday instead, which works out just as nice. Anyway gonna go watch T.V or something.......write later..............have a great weekend also!!!!

Hey, I went down to that career resource centre today to ask about careers that will be available with a BA, majoring in either Sociology or Criminology, but the hours are from 8:15am-12pm, and 1pm-4:30pm. I got there at 12:20pm so I didn't want to hang out there with nothing to do, so I came home. I'll go down tomorrow after my first class ends at 11:20am, then I'll still have 40minutes to talk to the "counseller" type person. I was just talking to mom and she said that she might bring the puppy up for me this Saturday-Thursday, I have to go ask Pat though, I don't think it would be a problem.Pat enjoys the puppy also. Mom said she was going to make an appointment for Cizmo at the groomers soon and get the guy to put little pink bows in her fir. She bought these bows while she was in New York. I would like my puppy to come and visit. I would have to study, but it is only for my Deviance class, which isn't the toughest class in the world. I hope my social work proff gives us a good review for the exam, she is very unprepared to teach the class. Then I have my deviance class in the afternoon, 2:30pm-3:50pm, but he always lets us go at 3:40, if not earlier. Tomorrow Sam and I are having roast beef for super, I think it will be very good, and we've got all the vege's to go with it. Today for lunch I made a great salad and we had bacon wrapped chicken pieces, which also were very good. Oh and I had some baby carrots, I've decided to eat healthier. I looked up online about acne and eating habits and realized that I don't drink enough water, and probably don't get enough fruits and veges. So I am now committed to drinking more water, less coffee, and more fruits and veges. I already feel good about this new resolution of mine. Anyway I'm going to go get something to eat for supper and work on some stuff......write later....

Hey, I went to see my academic advisor today, she was actually helpful. She's not my real advisor, just filling i for maternity leave. She was very helpful. I told her that I have decided not to become a social worker, and that I was going to take a major in sociology, but professor Clow (my soc teacher last year and this year) had made me rethink that. He is a very angry man, and doesn't sound to happy. He is bitter, yes bitter is a great word to describe him. Anyway she said that I shouldn't allow ine proff to change my mind completely, and then I told her about my second interest , criminology. I told her that I was thinking about leaving university because I didn't know what jobs would be available to me after I graduated. So she told me about a career centre at the alumni building. Why my othere advisor had never told me about this is beyond me, but I think that will be very helpful in deciding what I want to do. I think that I will stay and finish out a degree though, I don't want to be a "drop out", for lack of a better term. I was going to call and tell mom about my new decision, but then I remembered she is in New York, I hope she's having fun, I had a blast when I was there. Tonight I am going to the winter formal thingy, I think that should be pretty fun. Write later......

Hey this week is super stress free compared to last week. I don't have anything due until after xmas, well actually I am rewriting an essay, everyone in my literature class is. I have an appointment with him tomorrow, co it will be due on December 2nd, but it's just a rewrite, so that'll be nothing. He gave most people in the class a C+, but I got a B. So, hopefully if I rewrite it I can bring it up to an A.I already know where I can make some changes, but I think I'll wait and get his ideas first. I went to see Bridget Jones last night with Jackie and Anne, and Annes friend, but I forget her name. Anne will be taking her second semester at a University in Texas that is somehow connected to St. Thomas. My stupid Social Work proff, made us do these presentations, 5 minutes is supoposed to be the limit. There are still a bunch of people who need to do theirs and ones who just didn't show up the days they were supposed to do theirs, and she's lettting them do it over. She's not the brightest woman in the world. She doesn't seem to realize that these people may have missed presenting their newspaper article on Nov7th, and then when they are allowed to do it, because of not showing up, the articles are from november 10th. They just didn't have it done in the first place!!! Stupid Woman!!! There are only 3 classes left, and all we're going to do in them is listen to stupid presentations, and people ramble on for 15minutes, the limit is 5, does she tell them, nope!! This means there will probably be absolutly no exam review, not that there was one for the midterm, but nothing for the final. We are the guinea pig class, this is her first time teaching it and she's going to correct the mistakes she made in this class in her next one. Tomorrow evening Sam, Jackie, Shannon, 2 guys, and myself are going to see great big sea, and it is Jackie's 20 birthday. We are then going out to Dolans, a bar here. On Friday we are going to the Christmas formal, and then out I think. So it's been a nice week. And I only have 3 exams to write. December 8, 9, and 14. Then we're done until January 3rd. Anyway gotta run and go to the mall to buy Sam a pair of pants he had seen for xmas and buy more coffee. write later....

Hey, I am going to kinda rethink the whole not coming back thing. I still don't think a BA is worth it, but I'll reconsider. I'm going to make an appointment with a woman who helped me out at the beginning of the year, she was helpful, my academic advisor is a complete moron, so hopefully I can make an appointment with this other woman, I know which office is hers, so I'll just go to the student affairs office, and point at her door, and say I want to make an appointment with the lady that's in there. Hopefully that will work. I don't know, I'm just not very happy at school anymore. I do pretty well in my classes, but I'm not very happy. Anyway gotta finish my deviance essay, I'm doing it on prostitution in Canada. It's coming along pretty good, but it has to be longer.Write later.

hey, I just had my sociology test, it's worth 25% of our final grade!! This is a full year class. He gave us 10 essay questions on Monday to prepare for today. He picked 2 of the 5 in one section and and 2 of the 5 in the other. We were allowed a piece of paper with some notes on it as a memory aid. He didn't pick any of the ones that I thought he would and had worked hard on, he picked the 4 most unobvious ones for him. He's a Marxist, we all are made very aware of that ALL the time. I prepared th marx and liberal question very well, ya think he asked it, nope!! He's so strange. All he does in class is bad mouth the text book, the authors are liberals, and do half assed lectures, with little blurbs and impressions of star trek characters!! I probably got a B, but with him you never know, he's such a strange marker. But I'm not going to worry about it. I've decided not to come back to St Thomas next year. The only reason that I came here was for their bachelor of social work program, now that I don't want to be a social worker and it's super hard to get into the 3rd and 4th years, I think I'll take a year off or go to Community College in SJ. Cause I have completly lost my ambittion to study this crap. I have come to the realization that a BA is a complete waste of time, and I just keep thinking that every time I'm writing an essay or doing a test. I've already paid my tuition, so I'm going to finish out the year, and I'll still have 2 years of university on my resume, but this isn't what I want anymore. i only have a few more classes left until exams. I'll figure some stuff out over the xmas break. There are lots of things I can do. This is just a waste of money, I'll spend it better elsewhere. Anyway I only have one class left and then I'm going home and napping, I was up until 1am writing essays and doing more of those questions, and writing my the notes that we were allowed. AHH, I can't wait til my nap. Hopefully Elaine will be able to give me a lift home. She actually was driving by this morning while I was walking to school and stopped and drove me the rest of the way. She's a nice lady, she's in my social work class, my deviance class, and my literature class, 3 out of 4. I think I slept funny, ny shoulders are acheing pretty bad, I'll take an advil when I get home, before my glorious NAP!! Woohoo for naps!

My weekend at home was very nice, but went way to fast. The puppy was great. I slepe on this inflatablt pool thingy and put couch cushions on the floor beside it. The puppy slept right next to me on the cushions. It wasn't super comfy though. Hopefully Rich will put up the day bed for me at xmas time. I just looked up my exam schedule, and i have an exam December 8th, 9th, and 10th, and one on the 14th. I think it will be alright though. You not supposed to have more than 1 exam in a 24hour period, but I'll make due, I don't want to stay and write it at the end. I am so stressed, my Sociology proff handed an essay back today, it was from the very beginning of the year, before we were supposed to read anything, and I asked him about it, aboutWhat is your understanding of Atlantic Canda? I wrote it, without doing any reading or research, because I asked him what he wanted, and he said I want to know what you know-or think you know. So I just wrote it on what I thought I knew, we had done some class questions, just to get the ideas out there. I got a C!! A fucking C, on a paper that I thought was pretty good, cause he didn't want any research done. He's nuts!!! Does he understand how wacked out he is. It's an opinion type essay, people should have at least gotten a B!!!Anyway gotta go write my literature essay.....grr...

Hey, Sam did get hired on the spot. He worked all weekend. I had a nice weekend at home, it went by really fast though. I went to the west side medical clinic, I had a bladder infection, so the guy gave me a three day prescription. He asked me about my health plan, and I told him that my dad was a boilermaker and I paid upfront for prescriptions and then got my money back a year later. He laughed and just gave me 3 sample ones. I had to sleep on a blown up thingy for the pool, it was just long enough, but wasn't very comfy. I put some couch cushcions on the floor beside the inflatable thing, in case I rolled over, and the puppy slept right beside me. She's such a great little dog. I have so much to do though, I did get some reading done while I was at home. I have a test on Wuthering heights tomorrow. I found a good summary and analysis of it, I already read it in high school and just need to be reminded of the general things. I have to write a literature essay this week to, I have no idea what I'm going to write it on. I figure something out. Anywhoo gotta get to wrok and read that summary.....

Hey!! I am going to Saint John tonight, my bus leaves at 5:40pm and I arrive insj at 7:40pm I think. Then I am going to the Howard Johnson to meet mom, she's doing something for mary kay. Then I'll have ALL weekend to do nothing, or maybe lots of stuff, who knows? It is great! Sam's job hunt is going well, he's had some interviews already, he went to the regent mall and got interviewed on the spot for one of those kiosk things. Then the hilltop called him and he has an interview there at 2pm.We are going to get going soon, I'm going to go pay the electric bill. Hopefully they hire him on the spot, then he'll have something to do this weekend while I'm gone.Anyway gotta go.....

I got my computer back yesterday. Scott was able to retrieve everything!! Even the stuff I had saved in my documents. He even gave me a windows XP disk professional. That is what was on my computer, but we couldn't find our copy, so he just gave me one. And he didn't charge me anything! I didn't have to pay a dime to have it fixed, well Sam and I gave mom 20$ for gas. She really is a great mom, she had other stuff to do than drive up here and get my computer, but she still came up and got it for me. I'm going home in 3 days! I don't have a bed any longer, so I'll be sleeping on the couch, hopefully Rich will blow up the air mattress for me though, cause the couch is a little short for me. I'm going to take Friday off, and stay home all weekend. Then I have a test on Wuthering Heights on Monday, I hate that stupid book, I'm not reading it again, I just looked up summaries for it and found a really good web page, it has chapter summaries and the analysis' of them. I did get alot of work done on my social wlefare essay last night, I'm going to finish that up today and work on my Deviance one tomorrow. I was so nieve!! I never even thought about prostitutes being in Fredericton, or smaller cities like this, but I looked escorts up in the phone book here and there are 6 different agencies here, all ensure discretion. Anyway I'm going to go make some lunch, mom bought us some food, and I made some home made bread. It really turned out good for my first time. I made this from scratch!! I'm very proud of myself. Anywhoo gotta go do some work before Sam gets home, I don't know where he is, hmm....

Hey! I came home yesterday to find out that Sam had deleted some dll files. These are files you need to run your computer at all. So I callled mom, she told me to call scott, the guy who had built it, and ask him how to fix it. So I did and we tried a couple of things over the phone that he talked me through, then he told me that I would have to bring it in to him to fix. So, I called mom and she drove up and got the computer, she brought Gizmo up for the night. This was why I hadn't given Sam administrative powers, so things like this wouldn't happen. I've told him multiple times to stay out of my computer, but he's always in there "looking around", and this is what happens! He just doesn't listent o me sometimes. Thank god it was fixable. I'm taking his administrative staus away as soon as I get my computer back. I was so freaked out, all there was was a blue screen!! And I had just got home from my social work class, I had gotten my midterm back, I got a B-. And my feet were wet, the water from the street had seeped through my sneakers, and then he tells me this.I was not impressed. At least Scott can fix t in a day and mom is willing to drive it back up to me. Sam went to sj to see his parents. The puppy is at Pat's apartment right now, I didn't want to leave her by herself and Pat likes her.I only have one more class, literature and it's only 50 minutes. I'll ask the lady I know if she could give me a lift home after class, it's all rainy out. I wore my boots today, so my feet aren't wet, just cold. Anyway I'm going to go grab a coffee before class, it starts in a bout 20mins.....

Hey people I had my Deviance midterm today, I think that I did pretty well. Probably a B+, hopefully better though, I just don't want to jinx it. Halloween was fun, Jackie, Sam and I went o a party at one of Jackie's friends houses, well it was a friend of a friend, cause the first friend ended up being sick, so he didn't go, so we showed up at this random persons party. We had fun though. I was the good witch, jackie the wicked one, and Sam the tin man. We all looked very good I thought. There is a picture that one of the Darren, a guy that we know, took, of me with my drink in my hand smiling about something, and eating a chocolate timbit. It was great they had three different boxes of timbits there. I had a whole wack of mini donuts, they were great. I have to start working on some of my essays, my literature one got moved from November 8th to November 15th. Which is helpful for some, but not very much to me, cause I'm coming home for Rememberance day weekend. I'm skipping classes on Friday. One of my proffs I think is considering cancelling the class because he realizes no one is showing up, or at least very few. By the way, thanks for all of the recent comments, it's nice to see, keep it up! Anywhoo I gotta go start working on those essays. Write Later

Hey!! Jackie just dropped by alittle while ago and told me that the party date has changed to Saturdayinstead of Friday. That works out well anyway cause Sam gets off at 10pm on Saturdays. So, he'll be able to just come with us instead of meeting us there. His costume is great, it's gonna be better than Mine or Jackie's, but he's gonna be sweating his ass off. He is being the Tin man from the wizard of Oz asnd so he wrapped a shirt in the silver duct tape, and got a paper hat from work and wrapped that up too. It's going to look great. I'm the witch of the east and I'm the good witch, so far my costume consists of a star wand with pink fuzzy stuff. I'll have to work on that some. Jackie has her costume done, she showed me when she came over, it looks great. I'll have to go through my closet and find some pink stuff and go to the dollar store and get a crown of some sort. Today was pretty good I had my social work midterm, it went ok, but I don't think anyone in the class did super well. She gave (or didn't give) a reallly shitty review, nobody knew what to study pr focus on, out of 6 chapters. We hardly even talk about the chapters in class and then our first big test is our midterm. The proff is wacked. She said that she might not do the presentation thing, or exams with her next class, that gives them a huge advantage over our class. After that I went to the computer lab and searched the student library website for articles for my next social work and deviance essay. I found 17 articles on homelessness(SW) and Prostitution (D). So that cut down on the work I have to do at home. Then at 2:30p I went to my Deviance class, we had a guest speaker, who actually spoke about her studies on prostitution, it was really interesting. THEN my proff handed backsome more of the first essay's that we wrote, he's been handing them back 5-6 at a time. I got mine back and I got......an A+!!!!! I was so freaking happy, he started handing them back awhile ago and I started worrying about my grade, thinking oh shit probably should've worked harder on that......I probably didn't do well.......but then he handed it back and I did really well. That made my whole freaking week nicer. I'm going to go read a chapter for my sociology of Atlantic Canada class, and do some other work.....

Today was a long day, I only have 2 classes, and since I dropped my history, I have nothing in between the two of them. I have my social work class at 10am-11:20am, and then my deviance one isn't until 2:30pm-3:50pm. So, I come home in between. But then I'm walking to and from school twice, which is kinda tiring. My social work proff is on crack, she's nice enough, is constantly asking us what we like and don't like about the class, but is not to bright. She judges where we're supposed to be in the course by where other proffs are in the same course. She doesn't take into consideration that our whole class is doing live presentations on a current issue that the other proffs aren't doing. She's nuts! She is testing us on the first 6 chapters of the text book and put us into a group for each chapter, I was in the group on chapter 5. She wanted us to say what we thought was impotant in the chapters, and she was then going to make the test up around what we thought. I really don't care!! Just tell us what is important like the rest of our proffs, and stop getting us to teach an intro course to ourselves!! She's nuts!! I have like three different essays to write this weekend, one for social work, deviance, and literature. Jackie and I are going to a halloween party on Friday, Sam is going to meet us there when he's done work. We were thinking of being the wicked witches. I'm the good one, I bought a star wand with pink fluffy stuff on it. We were going to make sam the tin man. We're still thiinking about it. By the way thanks go out to Peto who commented on my last post, even invited me to go somewhere!! I don't even know this guy, so all of you who do know me and aren't commenting, Shame on you!! Thanks Peto (:
Anyway gonna go do some more reading.....

Hey!! Mom and the puppy didn't come to visit today, mom was tired and didn't wake up til late, so it wouldn't have been worth it to come up. She said she might come up next weekend though. That would be nice. I have my social work midterm on Thursday, she hasn't really told us what to study, she has been pretty vague. Then I have my deviance midterm the next Tuesday. So, I've got some studying to do and I have to write a couple fairly large essays in between all this. And they both have to have at least 5 different references, (articles), and I can't sign on to the web advisor to search the school library. I have to go see the registrars office probably about that, I'll do it tomorrow. Friday Jackie and I watched a movie, drank and went out, it was a really nice evening. Saturday Sam and I went to the Cellar and got a drink when he was done work. That was also nice.Anyway gotta go.....+

I went and got my hair done at Walmart, cause Jackie had gotten her hair done there and it turned out really nice. I've had some bad experiences with hairdressers in my time, and was a little worried. At walmart you just walk in and sign up to get your hair done when a hair dresser becomes available. I went in and signed up at a good time, cause a girl finished as soon as i got there. She put blond highlights in my hair, she used foils, and it made it look really natural. She said I probably wouldn't need to get them touched up for another 3-4 months. Which is good, and when I do get them touched up I can just get the top ones done, so it'll be cheaper. I showd her my grad pic and told her I wanted that style and she did a really good job. Anyway I'm gonna go do some reading and study some stuff, cause mom and the puppy are coming to visit tomorrow, I think, I haven't been able to get ahold of her, just a messgae she left this morning.

Hey!! I finally did drop my history class on Monday, I don't care.....I'll just take a course during the summer. That history class would have brought my GPA down something terrible. I got my mark back from my social work class presentation. I got a B-, 73.3. So it wasn' t a really low B either. My Deviance Proff had schedules our midterm for October 28th, like my social work midterm. Then he moved it to Ocotber 26th, so that a guest speaker can come on the 28th, and finally today he changed it to November 2nd. He's crazy.It's always a little interesting to go to his classes, he's REALLY laid back. I asked him about what type of fprmat he wanted our last essay to be in......he told me APA orMLA, doesn't matter to him, as long as it's done. It was kinda funny. I think I'll do pretty well in that class. So now I only have one midterm next week. That'll be good. Oh Sam figured out how to use my burner the other day. I had never used it cause I didn't know how and never had a reason to burn anything. Mom and the puppy might come up and visit me on Sunday, which would be nice. Mom was going to get some stuff off of my computer, but I just sent it to her in emails with attachments, so she won't have to do that, hopefully she still comes to visit. Anyway gotta go do some reading....

I had a great weekend!! I went home Friday, then I went to Lisa's play, which she was amazing in! (congrats). It was a really great play. Then on Saturday we went to Coles birthday party shortly and then went to a dinner theatre with Tammy, Frank, Elaine, Debbie, Melissa, and one of Melissa's friends. It was a very enjoyable evening, we're going to go to the next one that they have. On Sunday evening we went to Darrens parents house for turkey dinner, it was very good.On Monday we didn't have anything planned so I mom drove Sam and myslef home. It was a great weekend overall. Then I got back and worked on my social work project, which I presented today. I think it went ok, I wasn't nervous at all, not going to school in the morning, not while I was sitting there, But then when I got up in front of the whole class, I still wasn't nervous, but for some strange reason my whole body started shaking, it was really strange. I got a burn on my arm from the stove yesterday and still hurts pretty bad. I only touched it for a second, but it left a nasty mark. my history proff is on crack! We have our midterm in two days and he just gave us the review today, there are going to be questions on 2 different things, you can pick from 5. But on the review he gave us 7 topics, so we don't know which ones he'll choose, then there is an essay question. He is a horrible proff. I leave the classromm confused every time.Then after I do all that I have to write an essay, blah!!

Today was very productive!! I finished my essay on the Partition of South Asia, I worked on my social work presentation, it's almost done! It got kind of cold in here so I did a load of laundry so I had a reason to put the dryer on. It worked, it is quite a nice temperature in here now. I'm going to start on my second book for literature, it actually sounds good ( I read the back). It's called Asleep by Banana Yoshimoto, hehe Banana!! (: It was translated from Japanese. I'm going to work on my Deviance essay tomorrow, and my social work too. Finish that up and I'll probably be able to go home for Turkey weekend. Anyway I'm going to take a nice hot bath....read my book some.....maybe watch some T.v and go to bed. Not that I get to sleep, Sam works until 12am, so he gets home shortly after, has to unwind a little and then comes to bed, so I haven't been getting much sleep lately. It's really lonely here without him to. I had alot to work on, but it's still lonely. Tomorrow he has the night off though, so that'll be nice, maybe we'll go do something if I get some stuff done. Write later...

Woohoo, It's Friday!!! That is always something to be happy about. I had to finish rading a book for literature. I have a test on Monday. It was really strange. The author really tried to pack to much information into 266 pages. This guy had had 2 marriages, one with a drunk, he's a proff, he taught at different universities around the world, he's a big whinner who's never happy with what he has, because he dwells on the idea of loosing the what he has. He had a very sexual period during his twenties..... and the book goes on and on like this with all these details and it ends really strange to. Just going to sleep at their cottage. That's it!! After all this busy happenings in his life, that's how the book ends!! It's crazy! (The Professor of Desire) Anywhoo....Sams at work tonight, so I'm alone until about 12:15am. Tomorrow morning/afternoon mom and the puppy are coming to visit for the evening and probably spend the night. The test on Monday shouldn't be too hard I've taken six pages of notes both sides, so I know what's going on, except with the end. I think I'll go online and check that out right now...write later.

Hey!! The puppy came up to stay here all weekend. It was great, I love her so much, she's a great little dog. I took her everywhere, we walked so much. I got my exercise for the weekend. Everywhere we went people just kept telling me how pretty and nice she was, jealous I'm sure, but when you own such a great puppy a certain degree of jealousy from people can be expected. I introduced her to Jackie, who also likes her. I finished my history paper/draft that's due tomorrow. It is a horrible class. The proff sucks and the text book is really confusing. I can deal with either or being bad, but not with both. I am going to do horrible in this class, and it is to late to drop it, and I need it to be eligable for the BSW at the end of the year. He has one of the authors coming to give a lecture on Thursday, hopefully she'll be able to give alittle bit of light on what the purpose of her book is and what it is supposed to mean.I think I'm going to take a bath tonight...just to relax a little bit. I think I'll go do that now....

Today was a great day, I only had 1 class today and it was my literature class, my proff is really funny adn makes the class interesting and easy to follow. Tomorrow I have three classes, one of them is history (argg). It's a horrible class. He assigned us an essay and I think no one in the class understands it. The text book is a piece of crap. I looked it up on the internet for some help understanding and all the critics wrote that it was confusing, the editor was bad, spend your money else where, and just don't buy this book, I'm going to talk to my proff about it tomorrow. I have some time after that class. But anyway back to togday being good. My class was good, then I got my black ink refilled for $15. Then as I was about to leave the mall I decided to look in stiches. I seen some jean skirts for $12.99, so I tried one on and it was seriously short. I went ahead and bought the skirt though. The girl at the counter told me to by a size bigger and I'd be able to wear it on my hips. So I bought it and while she was ringing it in she told me that they had been marked down to $9.99, so I only paid $11.50 for it, so really if I wear it once I'll get my money's worth. It really is ridiculously short. I've owned one skirt this short and it had shorts underneath. Anyway gota install this new ink and print some stuff.

Hey! Today mom and the puppy were suppposed to come up to Fredericton for a visit. I had been looking forward to it all week. I even left a party early last night, so that I would be up when mom and the puppy arrived. Mom had told me they would be coming up "early". So this morning comes and mom calls me and tells me that her and the puppy are not going to be able to come up. She gave me a good reason, she had to finish typing the books fora class she is teaching on Monday,but I was still disappointed. Sam got called into work again this afternoon. He gets called into work alot. He's been picking up extra shifts all week. He turned one down for yesterday, cause we had plans, but he took all of the other ones. I'm going to go meet him at 4pm and we're going to go to the grocery store to pick up a few things. I really have to work on some stuff for school, I slacked off yesterday. Anyway gotta go get dressed and do some school work before I go and meet Sam.

Today was pretty nice. I like all of my classes except the history of modern asia class. It's so freaking confusing and my proff talks about asia in such a strange way and there are all these asian and indian names that keep popping up that no one can even pronounce!! And he just gave us our first assignment, but the freaking text book is so confusing I have no idea what is going on. He'll talk abou the past in one breath and then a fact from the present in the next. He is not making this any easier. Sam went in to work t the Fredericton Inn last night and they offered him a full time job. So he is going to work at both the inn and pondrosa for awhile. Because the Inn said they would work around his ponderosa schedule. So now he has 2 full time jobs.which is awesome. AND I got our cable bill for this month, it's due on October 2, the same day Sam gets paid, and it's only $34.91. Which is really only $17.46 each. So that's pretty great. The only down fall about him working, I don't get to see him very much. I haven't even seen him yet today, and I'll be in bed by the time he gets home. The other day Sam and I went down to Zellers and they were having a sale on those lipton sidekicks. They were only $0.97 there, they are regularly $1.79, we picked up a wack of them. We might go back and get some more.Anyway gotta go study. Write later.

Today was pretty good. I didn't sleep well last night though. I kept waking up every half an hour if not more. However I was able to find out that I can shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, and brush my teeth in twenty minutes. I have been really giving myself way to much time to get ready in the morning....there was no reason for me to get up as early as I have been. I was giving myself a good 45minutes to get ready!! My sociology of atlantic Canada proff isn't really assigning anything yet. It's kinda nice. I've asked him if he wants us to look things up on the net for questions he gives us or if he wants us to read anything....and he keeps saying no. I had him last year too. He just laughs at me...and says " your just itching to get into this stuff"". It's kinda funny. Most proffs want you to do an insane amount of work in a very short time. Sam is doing pretty good too. He got a call from the pnderosa telling him they have a shift for him to work tomorrow. Which is great because he wasn't even supposed to pick up his schedule until Friday. Then shortly after that the Fredericton Inn called and told him that they were really in a bind and wanted him to come in and work. He'll make $50-$60 just tonight. Hopefully they will keep him in mind when they have some extra shifts. And now it's pretty quiet so I can study alittle more. Anyway gotta go......

Today was a very good day, I only had one class...intro to literature. I really like my proff. He seems really nice. We don't have a midterm or final exam in that class either. We have alot of papers/essays and some quizes, but no exams. I think that is great....now I only be worrying about 4 classes to take exams in.I went to the gym afterwards. I'm not in as bad a shape as I had assumed I was. I can still run over a mile in 15min and go at 4.6 . I also can still do the precor machine...I was sweaty but not hurting.Tomorrow I have 3 classes. I have to go do some reading soon. I really study better in the evening, after supper. I miss my puppy terribly though...she's so great. I have pics of her under the glass of my round table. I have my social work class, history, and deviance tomorrow. I hope my history proff is good. Anyway I gotta go read.....comment!!(:

Hey sorry about the delay in posts, but I've been busty and hardly on the net. I had classes yesterdya and today, I like most of the courses, and some are just mandatory to be eligable gor the BSW. I didn't realize this, but I was missing some credit hours from group A which are amndatory for the BSW. My student advisor, stupid twit, said my schedule was fine when she seen it at the end odf last year, but I went up to the student affairs building just to check if it was necessary for me to take a class. It was necessary...and...it was also necessary for me to take a history course to be eligable for the BSW at the end of the year!! I could've went the whole year without knowing this because my student advisor didn't advise me well enough!!I figured it all out now though...so it's ok, but really what are these people getting paid for? anyway gotta go...write later
Krista

Hey, I move tomorrow afternoon, I'm very excited! I was just looking at some classifieds....there are a few jobs that Sam can apply for. He'll need to be driven to a couple of the addresses, cause I'm not to sure how close they are to us. That'll be alright, he'd just take the bus in the winter. We aren't moving until Frisay morning, we get the truck tomorrow afternoon and then are just going to load it. Then on Friday morning we are going to go up. Anyway gotta go finish packing.
:)

This is my last day working in this hell hole and I'm so freaking happy. No one is bringing my mood down today!! I only have a little over 6hours left to work here and I'll be done forever!! (or at least unitl next summer). I showd up 7 minutes late today, mom took me to lunch at subway.....but oh well...what are they gonna do, fire me? HA!! I just went and got a coffee which makes me a happier person anyway, but now I know this job is ending....and its ending today!!Fablulous!! I hope everyone I've ever met, event he ones I didn't like to much, are a little bit happier right now, cause I'm exstatic! WOOHOO....gotta go (:

I got AWOP yesterday and today!! I didn't have to come in until 8p-2a yesterday and 815-215 today. Its great! The day goes by nicely and the shifts aren't so bad. Tomorrow is supposed to be my last day, but I got the schedule and I'm not even on it! So I left a note with my buddy at RPM to check it out. I have a good shift tomorrow. I work 2pm- 1045pm. Its nice, then I'm going to go out. Then I'm going to spend a couple days in my pjs. Thats it. I'll get up, shower and change into clean pjs. Thats it!! It'll be great.
:)

I only have 5 more days left to work here, not counting today, but still only 5 shifts. Then I have to get ready to move up to Freddy on September 3rd, mom and I are probably going to go up a day or 2 before that to clean and bring dishes and stuff up. And the first weekend that I'm going to be in my new place mom and Rich are going away, so the puppy will come and stay with me.Woohoo!! She's a great little puppy. I think we have almost everything to move, but to my surprise Sue said she would pick me up some stuff too. Thanks Sue!! Anyway gotta go.

I'm having a horrible day! All these stupid people calling to check rates and then yell at me because the rate is to high. Like I can change it!! I tell them that I'm just reading what it says on my screen, and they continue to bitch. I'm tired and I don't want to be here at all. Thank God I have tomorrow and
Friday off. Then I only have 6 more shifts and I'm done!! WOOHOO!!! I have to work until 2am today too, and it's been busy, so I don't think I'll get home early, and there were a whole wack of people that signed it before me and also get of at 2am. Gotta go......breaks over.....

Hey I'm having a pretty good day, it has been steady and I'm going to give my notice today. I went to give my notice to Brian (supervisor) and there was a note on his computer saying "out to lunch". If your going to go somewhere to eat, just write that your going out to eat. Writing "out to lunch" is just setting yourself up for some sarcastic remarks. Anyway I'm just a little happier now that i have decided to give my notice. Even though I'll still have to work for 8 more days, I think that it will be a little better. August 13 will be my last day, but I have it off anyway, so it's really Thurday the 12th. WOOHOO!!!

Hey...today is going by pretty fast, it's nice. I signed home early and I think that I have a pretty good chance of getting it. I signed up for it as soon as I got off the bus. It was great cause I signed home early before everyone else around me. I wen tup to tim hortons to get a coffe a few minutes ago, I also had a ham and cheese biscuit. It was all very good. I went into the mall and on my way back to the cendant door, when I saw a girl from high school...who I really disliked, she was in my art class last term of high school. Her parents are both lawyers...so that (apparently) ment that she went to law school too and knew everything about anything! She was an evil dirty bitch....if her parents were both lawyers...they must have been gravely ashamed of her. Anyway back to why I wrote I seen her, I hope that since I seen her coming out from cendant that she works here full time and amounted to nothing.. I mean I hate working here, and it's only seasonal...so I hope she works here all the time. Anyway gotta get back to work... I know that was all very harsh, but she really was an evil bitch.

man I want to go home so bad. I signed home early, but lately they are being tight in giving  it to anyone. They used to give it out all the time, you'd get sent home on a saturday, now you can't even get out of here on a Tuesday!! Its stupid. I have to work until 2am today too. I feel sick and really hot. Its warm in here, to me anyway, the girl beside me is wearing a sweater, so thats not saying much. I just want to go home. Grrr....

I want to go home so bad. I hate this stupid job! Today was good though, other than having to come to work. Mom and I went out to the car liquidation sale out east. We looked around and found a snazzy blue chev cavalier. Mom and I took it for a test drive, she liked it and she bought it! It's really nice, it has ac, cd player, spoiler on the back. She got it for a really good price too. The guy came back with the first rate the bank gave him and then he called them a second and third time to get the price down, and since it was the last day of the sale, the bank dropped the price. It's  a 2001 and only had 61000 kilometers on it. I enjoy it very much and I think Rich will break down and teach me to drive now. Anyway gotta get back to work.....write later

Hey today has got to be one of the longest days out of the entire work week. I get tomorrow and Friday off so this the last day I have to work and is the latest shift of the week. (until2:15am). I plan on doing some definate lounging on my days off. I don't think I'll stay at his job until August 27, I think I'll leave on the 13-15. These kind of hours just suck the whole day into them. I go home adn dont' even sleep until 4am, so I don't get up until later, then I shower, get dressed and ready for work. It's a vicious cycle. And I for one don't like it. I'll be moving away and getting back to school in no time. I'm going to miss my puppy so much. The special way she trotts up to you when you arrive home, the great way she snuggles. I'm going to miss her terribly. But mom said she would drive her up to visit for some weekends to, so its not all lost. I have to call the truck rental place tomorrow to reserve a truck for the 1st of September. Anywhoo gotta get back to this job... I've had a goo couple of nights, Monday I got 54 reservations, last night I got 49, and tonight I still have 2 hours left and have 40. ttyl

I only have 4 more hours of work left and then I'll have two whole days to myself!! WOOHOO!! I don't know what I'll do in those two days, but I won't be working, and that's something to look forward to. I think I'll see who's free to go see a movie on Thursday. It's still cheap night and that's always nice. I had a funny little man for a cab driver last night. He was nice. He was telling me jokes and little stories and stuff. It made the drive go by fast. He told me a story about his first taste of a taco bell chalupa. I'll just tell u he did not have a good experience, it was very burnt. I wonder when my sister is going to be singing in Saint John Idol again, if you read this Lisa let me know. she has moved on to the second round. Anyway gotta get back to work. Write later...

Hey I'm at work right now, on my lunch break. I signed up for home early, I got it last night too. I met up with Sam cause we were going to hang out after work ne way, but I got off early so I called him. We met up and were going to go to O'learys or something, but he got all mad at me cause I wouldn't lend him $ for smokes, so He went home instead. So I ended up going home too.I don't smoke, so why would I lend money to him to buy smokes?? Exactly, I wouldn't! I lent him $20 a little while ago when he was still working at Rockies, but I knew it wasn't being spent on smokes and i knew when I would get my money back. Now that he's not working I wouldn't know when I would get my money back, so I didn't lend it to him. He got all pissed off and went home to get smokes. If I get home early tonight, I'm going to call Amanda and Tasha, I just seen them drive by on my way back for Tims. They also must have tonight off. Anywhoo gotta get back to work now.............Write later

Congratulations to my cousin Melissa!!! She wrote me and a few other people telling us that she just got excepted to go to Dal!! She is going to be one of the richest, smartest, most famous doctors in the world. It'll be great! I can see it now....All the publicity that I and my relatives will get for being her family. We'll all probably get to go on Oprah one day!!woohoo!! Good job Melissa!! Anyway just had to write as soon as I found out, I'm still at work, but it's pretty slow, and I'm on my lunch break, so I thought I'd write asap. All of you who visit my site can congratulate Melissa in the comments and I'll make sure that she sees them (Melissa-check quotes).
Anyway gotta go....write later.

Hey!! I'm playing hooky right now. I really didn't feel like going to work today, so I called in sick. Which is nice, I'll do some laundry and dishes. I'm not to worried about it. I have about 10 hours time and a half for working Wednesday 12am-215am and 8 hours on Canada day. That will make up for the shift that I miss today. And I filled out an E form so I won't be taxed anymore,bonus! I am getting so excited about moving into Sam and mines apartment. Mom is going through this crazy cleaning where she is trying to get rid of a lot, so she is giving me the old coffee and end table. She also bought us a utensil set the other day. I'm surprised that she found one for a low price, all the sets that I seen were like $50+. But she said she got them for only $10. Her and Rich went down to the states for the Canada day weekend. They went camping. I hope they have a nice time, I don't know how much either one will like camping, but all the same, I hope they have a good time. Anyway I should probably go get dressed. Write later....Comment (please)

Hey!! Today was a good day, I finally got to go home early from work. I had been signing up for Awop, thinking that that was what u signed up for to go home early, but I learned today that Awop and home early are 2 separate things, so I signed the home early one, just to see if I'd get it(the guy at the desk said that Avis didn't usually get it). Well he was just being a downer!!! I was supposed to work until 12:30am and got sent home at 7pm!! So, now I'm at home, it's raining so there isn't much to do, but I like it just fine compared to being at work!! I work on Canada day,I thought that I'd get a shitty shift, but I only work until 10:30pm!! I'll still have lots of time to go have fun and celebrate.

Last night was a good night, I had lots of reservations and I got quite a few transfers. Today I don't have to work until 5:15pm. I have to work on Canada day though, I wasn't there on Friday, when everyone was told to put their bids in, so I didn't get my bid (for hours) put in until yesterday. That kinda sucks, but oh well. I went and filled out an E form yesterday at the pay roll department. I won't have anymore taxes taken out of my pays now. I guess if your a student and your tuition and living expenses are under 8 thousand this year, you don't have to pay taxes. So I'll get to keep my full pay, last pay they took close to 2 hundred dollars out. I think that I will quit at the end of July beginning of august. I won't want to do this for the whole summer. I told them I would be able to work until august 20, but I don't think I'll make it.Anywhoo gotta go.

I went to the Buccaneers pub this morning with mom and richard. I took him and mom out for breakfast/lunch for fathers day. We all ordered steak and eggs. Richard ate his super fast. But mom and i noticed that our steaks were still pretty red and blooding after we had eaten a few bites, so we sent them back to be cooked again. Mom got hers back and it was fine, but mine was still squirting blood when I poke dit with my knife, so I sent it back once more. I think that the little bit that I did eat made me sick though, I've been feeling horrible all day. When the steak came back the second time, I ate it, but the outside was cooked a little to much and the inside was cooked enough. So I've been popping tums all day. I feel a little better, but was sick to begin with, so that's not saying much. Anyway gotta go.write later.....comment!! (please)

I'm still not feeling well, but better than I was on Wednesday. People keep calling me to check rates, that's it, no booking or nothing, even though I tell them that the rates will change. What is the point of checking a rate, if you know that it is going to change?!! Stupid people, and then they tell me "hi, I'm just checking rates, I already have a really good one with budget, but I want to check your rates". They just waste our time!! I only work til 12:30am today, so at least I'll be done relatively soon.Other than that my days off were spent well. Not feeling well, but better that this. Thursday Sam and I went to the aquarius with Paul, Amanda and Tasha met us there too. It was very nice seeing them.I only have 4 1/2 days of work left until my next days off. I'm already looking forward to them. Anyway gotta get working. Write later.

Hey, i am sick right now, but still came to work. I feel horrible, hopefully I get the awop I signed up for. I'll go home early and go to bed. All of the people tonight have been calling to ask for rates on all the different cars, but then they don't make a reservation,even though u tell them the rate will change!! There is no point in checking a rate, if your not going to book!! the rates change really fast around here!! Stupid people, i hate them , hate them all. It probably wouldn't be so bad if they didn't waste so much of my time, but they talk to me about stuff I will never care about. Anyway gotta go.

Hey, I'm at work again, it seems like the only time I remember to post is while I'm at work.Harry Potter was pretty good, not half as bad as everyone had made it sound. There was a lot of stuff left out of the movie though. If a person hadn't read the books, there would have ben a lot of unanswered questions. I've read all the books, so I know why things happen as they do, but it might have been confusing for others. Oh well. It was a 2 and a half hour movie, they couldn't really add anymore to it, without it being terribly long I suppose. Anyway I'll probably have to start doing actual work soon. Oh, I'm happy that your moving back to the same spot on princess, sue, it was a nice apartment!! Anyway gotta go....

WOOHOO!!Thanks for the comments guys!! Where are you moving on Princess street, Sue? Thanks for the offer of crashing at your place. Cabs are pretty expensive. I probably won't have another weekend off for the entire summer. I have Thursday and Friday off next week though. I'll be working every Saturday and Sunday though. A guy in my class at work, who's an majoring in economics, told me that you can request that cendant not take any taxes out of your pays. I think I' going to do that Wednesday. I'm going to go see Harry Potter, the prizoner of azkaban tomorrow with Gill. I've heard that it's not as good as the first two, but I still want to see it. I am liking my job. I get mostly nice people, with the few here and there that are just freaking crazy, but I don't mind the job to much. Actually I have seniority over some people in my class, they picked seniority randomly, but I'm ahead of some, so I got decent shifts for next week. Wensday I work until 2am, Thursday and Friday I work until 3am, but all next week I chose the earliest shifts possible, so I work until 2:15am at the latest. AND next week when we do our bidding for shifts, there will be some new recruits, so they will get the later shifts and hopefully my class will get some earlier ones. The time goes by really quick there, cause it's one call after the other all night. You get 2 15 minute breaks and a half an hour lunch. The people that I work with are all pretty nice, that makes it nice.

Hey I'm still at work. Right now our computer systems are down, so we're not really taking any reservations, cause we can't give people any information. It's pretty sweet, I'm getting paid for 45 minutes to do nothing. I did a lot today though. I got a wack of member service transfer and I got my fairfield transfer. AND one of the trainers made a point of letting me know that my transfer percent was really good. Not too high and not to low. Too high sometimes would imply that I was tranfering people unwillingly. I get off work soon and then I'm going to go out to the 3 mile with Sam and meet Amanda and Tasha there for Amandas birthday.It should be pretty fun. I only have a half an hour to go!! I work tomorrow, i have to take a cab to work and home again. That blows, but time goes by pretty fast here. i've had some pretty nice people today. anywoo I better stop goofing off......actually it was my trainer who showed me how to get on the internet while working. He showed me how to switch between screens. He's a nice guy. He has helped me alot today. Anyway I'm gonna stop goofing off......OH....COMMENT!!!!!!!!!

Hey!! I just got done my first real day taking reservations. We did some yesterday, but only for a couple of hours. Today I was on the phone for under six hours and made 30 reservations. When another girl from my class asked the trainer if 30 was good, the trainer said that it was very good for the time period and it being or first day. There were some trainers walking around , so if we had any problems and weren't able to solve it ourselves quickly enough they would help us. Tomorrow I work 3:45pm until 12:30am. I'm going to go to the 3 mile tomorrow after work and meet some of my friends, it's Amandas birthday. I just called Gill and she might be going as well. Which would be good cause we could hang out and share a cab home later. Speaking of cabs Gill told me that she had quit working at Cendant after working the 6:30-3am shift for three days!! So we won't be able to share cabs anymore. I'm going to ask around and see if anyone lives around here and would be willing to give me a lift home for whatever amount of $. I hope that I can handle working that shift. I really like sleep and I don't know how well my body will adjust.(keep your fingers crossed!) Anyway I gotta go walk the puppy before it gets to dark out.........and please if your reading this COMMENT!! just write I read your blog and sign it...that's all I'm asking for.(:

Today is going pretty well. We're learning lots of new stuff. I'm glad it's friday though. I work 9-5 next week too. Tomorrow I have ot go out to leons to sign something to say that i want to get the armoire instead of the 5 drawer dresser. Yesterday I remembered this, because they were going to deliver it yesterday. I'm going to go out on Saturday to sign it, so I'll have the armoire this thursday. I was just at the Giant tiger store. it's pretty nice. They have nice bath towels for 4$ and huge bath towels for $7 something. I think I'll get one some time soon. It's packed in there right now anyway ao I'm not going to get anything today.Next thursday my class will be taking actual calls. There is alot of stuff that you have to know and memorize here. Anway gotta go..my lunch is almost over.(:

Hey!! Today was a nice day. It went really quick cause we learned a lot of new stuff. We had another test today, I didn't remember to study for it, I had read it through quickly because I knew we were having a test Friday. I dtill did pretty good though, 91.28%. We have a really big test tomorrow, it's going to be 104 questions. So I really should study. I completely forgot , so I told Gill we would hang out after work. I'll go study now, so that we can still hang out. oh..Tuesday was alright, we learned some new stuff, and had to get into partners, so this girl and myself got together and she was really annoying. She kept pointing out ANY typing mistakes I made, the second I made them. But on Wednesday I was grouped with these two guys, Bradley leaguer and Justine Bradley. They helped me out a lot. They were very nice and helpful. Today I got paired with Justine again and we worked for about an hour. He's pretty funny. Then the whole class got broken up into 2 groups and did a game where you match the state with the 3 letter code and the car with the appropriate latter. My team won. Then she let us go early. I went to the bargain shop to buy some bore stuff, sue had told me about a sale they ewere having (thanks!). I then ran to the mall to use the ashram before I went to the bus stop. I was running buy Laura Secord and I seen Deanna, and Julia Akerson. Julia works there and Deanna at the wild carrot cafe. I then ran down to the bus stop and waited, yes I said waited. All that running for nothing!!(: Anyway I'm gonna go study, write when I can...(:

I'm at Cendant right now. There are computers that you can use on your breaks. I'm pretty bored, cause right now we're just filling out information about ourselves. I just had lunch with Gill. She's doing her training right now too. We're not in the same class, she's about two weeks of training ahead of me. She'll be working the same shift as me!! I don't like these keyboards, my one at home is alot better, it has a wrist rest and it has alot of features. For some reason they gave us an hour for lunch. I don't know why because it's Victoria day and nothings open. I still have another twenty minutes before we start training again!! Grr.... Anyway I should get off the computer now...not that there is much to do. There is a fitness centre here that is open to use 24/7. So I don't even have to be working to use the computers or fitness centre.

Hellu!! I went to Moncton with Debbie, Melissa and Katie on Friday, we went to Mexicali Rosa's for supper, it was good. Then Melissa and I wen tout with one of her friends that lives up there and one of her friends friends. So we went to a pub and had a drink, wasn't anything happening there, so we went to another pub, we ordered some food, ate, drank and went back to the hotel at about 12am. It was alright, but I'm more of a club person than a pub person. I like to dance. This morning we went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast and then to Champlain mall. The mall was a HUGE disappointment!! All of the stores sold the exaxt same clothes!! It was a this bright, tacky stuff, just different prices at different stores. I saw the same shirt in three different stores!! So, we came home after that. I got home and Mom and Rich have gone down to my grandmothers trailer in the states. I wish they would have told me that they were going so that I could've got them to pick me up some Kaluha. But oh well, hopefully they will go down again and tell me about it. I start work in another day. I start at 9am on Monday. I'm getting pretty excited. Anyway gotta go feed the puppy. Write later........

Today was a great day!! It started off great cause at nine o'clock this morning my new bedroom furniture arrived. I now have a new dresser and mirror, two night tables, a neat headboard that has shelves in it, and I will be getting a dresser that has two drawers and doors that open to shelves (it's not in yet, next Thursday). That made my day nice and then at about 3pm Cendant called and offered me the job I had applied for. Not to bad I only handed one resume out and got that job. The first 2 weeks are 9-5pm, training and the third week will vary according to the need and amount of calls. Then I start my shift from 6:30pm-3am. But they send people home early if it's not busy. I'm not to worried about the hours. Its a good paying job. AND they know that I'll be leaving at the end of August, so it's only temporary. It's all inbound calls for people who want to make hotel/car reservations. I'm glad that I'm not doing outbound, I didn't want to have to call and harass people. It's between 30-40 hours a week. I think that I get two days off a week. I'm very excited! Tomorrow I will be going to Moncton for a Girls night out with my two cousins, my aunt, and maybe my mom (if she's feeling better). I just have to find time to get a void cheque and buy a lock. I had one in high school, but I have no idea where it is now. I even remember the combination!! A year plus later, so I wanted to find it, and it would have been nice not to have to buy a new one. But I'll deal. I got a job!! I was getting so frustrated! The jobs in SJ suck! Especially the student jobs, they pay minimum wage. I'm very happy that Cendant called, I was starting to think that I wouldn't be able to find a job until June/July, which would have been kind of pointless. WOOHOO!!!By the way I was just looking at the comments from yesterday and I would like to send a thanks out to Jackie. I appreciate your encouragement.(:

I went to my information sessin this morning at Cendant(9am). The woman did a power point presentation and then we did a typing test. After that she set up an interview at 11.30am with me. I went to it and I think I did very well. Some of the questions were hard to apply to my job experience, because I lack call centre experience, but I think she was very happy with my answers to the questions about working in a structured environment, like Cendant. She was a very nice person, I hope that I get to work there. The pay is only $8.50, instead of $9 because I'm just summer staff. That's still better money than I'm going to get anywhere else, so I hope I get it. The shift is from 6:30pm- 3am, but then at least I'd be able to sleep in, and not have to cancel any of my appointments. The training is three weeks anyway, I doubt that they train at night. Its 2 week class work and 1 week phone training, and then they let you loose on the phone. This wouldn't be the ideal working hours, but I'm sure I can make the best of it. OH!! AND in between 9:30- 11:30 I went shopping at suzy shier. I got a pair of jeans, 4 tanks, and a belt, and I bought a presatige card. Anyway going to go back down to the mall and grab a coffee....write later......Comment!!!

Hellu!! I just bought a computer desk and a 6 by 9 foot navy blue area carpet for mine and Sam's apartment. I got them both at a good price. The area carpet was only 42$ (taxes included). It's nice, it is stain resistant, and durable. I applied at Cendant on Thursday, They called me on Friday to set up an information session (Monday), where I learn about the section that I would be working in, and then there is a typing test. Mom said that they tell you right after the test if you got the job or not. I hope I do alright. I do check the student job site, but all of the jobs are either in St. Stephen, Coleson Cove, or very low paying. Hopefully I get hired at Cendant. My friends Tasha and Amanda work there and Tasha really likes it. It pays decent so that's an up side to working at a call center. Today has been alright. It's almost supper time, so I'll see what people want for supper. I would almost rather it be a night where we all fend for ourselves and make our own little meals. That would be a lot simpler. Oh, I turned the radio on the other day and the first thing that I heard was that STU will be increasing tuition by 6%, which will raise tuition by another 220$. Like it's not expensive enough. AND the government taxes the hell out of students. They tax us once and then again on the same thing to lower our tuition tax return. AND if Richard wasn't claiming me on his taxes, I wouldn't get anything back!! It's so dumb. The government likes educated people (I'm assuming) but makes it as hard as possible for them to get an education. Anyway enough of my complaining. If you read this blog today...Wish me luck on my interview!

Hello, sorry about the big delay in posts, but I haven't been feeling that great. Not cause of my wisdom teeth, just not feeling great. I am never going to find a job in sj. I'll probably end up working at some minimum wage paying job again. There is nothing available. All the obs for students are in st. Stephen, Coleson Cove, or are minimum wage. Or even worse... They're working at day cares. I'm going to print up a resume and breakdown and bring it into RMH. I know...not going to be a good job, but it pays well and they are always looking for people. I rather work there and get payed moderately well than go somewhere else and work just as hard, but get payed crappy. I think I'll do that tomorrow. It is kinda strange the swelling in my face hasn't gone down to much. Its been a full week since I got them out. Anyway getting hungry...write later..

Hey all!! I got 3 of my widom teeth out Monday. I don't know what I was so worried about, I was put to sleep completely and when I woke up I just had a lot of goss in my mouth and it was a little sore. The Tylenol 3's help alot, I barely notice the pain until they start to wear off. I have to go back and get my mouth checked out in about a week. I didn't even realize until recently that Richards birthday is approaching very quickly, May 7th. Mom and I are probably going to get the car Friday (the 7th) and buy him some fishing stuff that he kinda asked for and pick him up an ice cream cake. Actually he and Sam are out fishing right now. I thought that was very nice of Richard to invite Sam to go fishing. Also he not only invited him but asked one of his friends if he could borrow a pole for Sam to use. I believe they are trying to catch trout. Them on mothers day we are all going down to the chance harbor that Richards family is having. It should be nice. Anyway it's almost 6pm and that means I can take some more Tylenol. Woohoo.....

Hey, I'm at moms work again, but I'm going to hook up my computer at the house tonight, I got a modem put in this morning. Then mom, Sam, and I went to Fredericton to look at an apartment. We liked the first one that we seen, so we signed the lease for September-end of August. It's a cute one bedroom ina security locked building that is close to the malls, bank and the university. We payed the damage deposit and the first months rent. We are both very excited. I already have a lot of stuff, I bought a lot when I was thinking about moving out this summer.We will have to rent a truck to move up there with all our stuff, cause Rich doesn't have the truck anymore. Anyway I should probably get going, I just remembered that I left Sam at the mall because I was just going to deliver a coffee to mom and then return. OOPS!HEHE! gotta run.....

Hey I'm at moms work right now so that I can use a computer. I had an appointment at Dr. Crafts this morning, I get my wisdom teeth out May 3/04 at 2pm. I only need to get 3 out. I do pretty good with surgeries,n so I'm not to worried. I'm not going to pass out resumes until after I get them out, cause I don't want to get a job and have to request 3-4 days off right away. AND I'll have tylenol 3's afterwards so I should be alright. I don't know what I'm going to do today, I really need some new clothes, maybe I'll check out Brunswick square and see if I can find anything interesting. Not that there are many places to buy clothes. (my mom is such a good teacher!) Anyway I'm kinda hungry, so I think I'll go get some food soon. Anyway if any from school is reading this, comment and tell me what your plans for the summer are; where your working, vacations, etc.

Hey, I'm going home in about an hour. It'll be great!! I'm going to talk to mom about the whole apartment idea, cause its about 3 thousand dollars more to live in residence. That's sharing a room the size of a walk in closet with someone. I mean the people at the caf are great and I'll miss them if/when I move out. But I don't want to get roomed with someone that's really irritating. I still haven't told Sam about my idea yet, cause while I'm still undecided (not really me just mom), I don't want to get him all excited. But I get to go home and see my puppy and sleep in my very large bed. I'm really looking forward to it. AND I'm very exited, cause I finished the last economics class of my life today! I went down to the bookstore and sold my book for 7$ right after I finished the exam, I would have probably enjoyed burning it more, but selling it was a little more practical.

Today was my sociology exam, which went very well. He gave us 13 review questions (essay questions). On the exam he choice 5 of those and we only had to pick 2. Then there were some "name the theoretical perspective" questions from different quotes he gave. Then there were some fill in the blanks, I really hate fill in the blanks, it's just random quotes and your supposed to know what's missing. Overall I think that I did well. I have economics tomorrow, which I did a lot of studying for today and I have until 1:30pm to study tomorrow. The exam isn't until 2pm. Then I'm going to come back to my room and finish any packing that I haven't already done, which isn't much; I'll probably just unhook my computer and clean it off, these rooms get so dusty. Then I'm done school for 4 months! Get to read, or not read whatever I want! Not writing any essays all summer.It'll be great. I hope I can find a job soon, all of the postings say preferably not a student, permanent position.Anyway going to study economics while its quiet and get to bed early. I slept so horribly last night. I was really worried about living in residence next year and not knowing my roommate. I think I'll see about getting an apartment. I'm going to ask Sam if he wants to get a place, he's moving up here next year. anyway gotta study.night all!

Hey just got done working on my sociology review. I got 12 out of the 13 questions done. He's not going to test us on all of them it was really just a good review of the whole years work and the most important things. It took me approximately 6-7 hours, it was pretty brutal. I was so frustrated by the first question that I decided to start with question 13, 12, 11, and it worked out pretty well. It seemed like he just put them in the wrong order for things to be related to one another. I don't know if it's going to be a essay exam, multiple choice, or short answer. Cause our last day of classes he was in London apparently, so his wife came in and taught. His wife is a professor if your wondering. I hope I'm prepared enough for the exam, I think I will be, I'm not to worried about it. Wish me luck if your reading this, you can do that by clicking on the comment button just below the text window this comes up in. I was thinking "well maybe people aren't commenting because they don't know how". It was one of those "aha" moments, so if you haven't commented up until now, its understandable! But now that you have the directions, I will expect some comments. Gotta go get supper and study.(:

I have 2 exams today, which I am very prepared for, I studied psych all day yesterday, and I just got done studyine some philosophy, which was great causes there was no one in the study lounge, so it was supere quiet. I'll finish these two and then I've only got 2 more to do. One on Monday, and One on Tuesday. Then Rich and Sam are coming to get me and I'm going back home. I'll have to start passing out resumes as soon as I get home, I really need a job. But the thing is a lot of places, call centers in particular have people work nights, so I don't know how much I'd like that.But I'll make do. It would probably be better to work nights than days or evenings, cause at least I could just stay up town until I had to go to work and then at whatever time in the morning the bus would be running again. But if I were to work days, I'd have to pay 12$ for a cab home all the time. I'll check the job banks, which really suck, but I'll check anyway.

Hey I was thinking, who's to say that I'll get a bad roommate, I got a pretty good one this year. Maybe my luck will hold out. And if not, I'll have seniority over any first year, so if there is a problem, they'll be moving, not me! HA. Fabulous. So I'm not to worried about it anymore, what will be will be. I can't change that she decided to move out, so I'll deal. Talk to some people about rooming and if not see what happens. I feel better, I was talking to mom and she's pretty excited to have me come home shortly. I'm pretty stoked too. I'll be home on a Tuesday, I'll see if Sam would like to go out Thursday, Tasha said that her and Amanda go out on those nights, I'll give them a call. Good night all!!

Hey, Meghan just told me that she's not moving in with me anymore, she's been thinking about getting an apartment for awhile. I don't know how long "awhile" is because she told me that she would move in with me next year, even put her 300$ deposit in. Then two or three days ago a girl offered her a room in an apartment they are leasing and she told me today that she's moving in with them. So, I'm going to probably get stuck with some first year student. If she'd been thinking about it for awhile why would she commit to moving in with me and then change her mind 5 days before school is over? Why wouldn't she have said " Krista I don't know what I'm doing next year, you should find someone else". But no that would have been to easy apparently. 5 days left of school I don't really have many choices do I??? Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!!And like I'm not stressed enough, but I have two exams tomorrow!

Just got done doing the first bit of my studying, which took all morning, took a break for lunch and still worked on it for 2 hours. There is a lot of information that she wants us to know. Its crazy, some of it we've already been tested on though, so I'm kinda familiar with it. I didn't like how this Proff taught at all. All semester we went to class and took notes, that's it. No time for discussion or questions or review of the previous days work, nope, nothing. Sometime swe did these little mini experiments, but those only lasted 10 minutes and we were back to copying notes in no time. But she gave us review sheets before all of our tests, so I already have review questions done for some of the chapters, that I had completely forgot about til I was going through my book. My typing, cause I just noticed, is getting quite abit faster. No lessons thank you, this is the Krista teach yourself method and I have found it to be very acceptable. My roommate just left, so I'm going to do some more studying before loud hours. Gotta do some studying, I wonder what my philosophy proff would like us to know for the exam, he gave no type of a review at all. I'm just going to read through my notes, and maybe some quotes, but I'm not going to read the whole book over again.Anyway gotta go, 4 days and I'll be home, no studying at all, I can read whatever I want to whenever I want to! Ahh....It'll be great!

I just got finished my CRIM exam. It was 80 multiple choice and 60 true/false. I hate true and false. I went through it and did all of the ones that I knew right away, that were obvious. I got a little discouraged, cause I had studied ALOT and didn't know to many for sure. Then I went through it and did the ones that I really had to think about. That went pretty well and then I put them on the scan tron, I always read the question again and see if I put the best answer. I found some errors, fixed them and finished filling out my sheet. It only took an hour and a half. Now I have one down and four to go. That's better than nothing. I have two Saturday, one Monday and one Tuesday. Then Rich and Sam are coming to help me move my stuff. I already have another box packed, and would've packed another last night, but all of the boxes have been taken. I think I'm going to go take a nap, I didn't sleep well last night, and a nap sounds pretty nice right now.

I would like to apologize for the previous post, I got a little caught up in the moment there. I will sit down and calmly talk to my advisor when I get home in 6 days. I will get thing sorted out and keep you posted on the outcome. Once again I apologize for the outburst, I hope you have a great day.

Mutual funds are complete and total bullsh*t. Its ridiculous! First the 'financial advisor' gets you roped into this thing AND then when your not happy with it (because your constantly loosing money) they won't answer your emails!! Its stupid, if your reading this, take this word of advise, mutual funds are the devils work! This post may be a little dramatic, but I am pissed that this chick won't email me back!Its dumb and I could just be making a little bit of money on interest in my money master account, not loosing it after a month and a half. I have to study now, I think I'll go get a tea, I'm a little flustered.:(

I had a very productive day today. I got up at 9:50am, took a shower, got dressed, ate, and went upstairs in GMH to study. I remained there until shortly after 12, got some lunch, brought it up stairs within and began to study again. I studied until 3pm, came to my room for a break, had supper a few moments ago and am going to resume studying shortly.Ahhh....the never ending excitement of University. Its great. There is so much that I have to study. Its crazy! While I am on the computer I will do the online questions for each of the many chapters. I think I'll give mom a call first, before she has to go to work.

I almost had a heart attack, I went all year without loosing my meal card. Its been great, today however I went down to the caf and didn't bring my purse(like usual) I just stuck it into my back pocket. So a few minutes ago I was thinking about going down just for a break from studying, grab an apple or something. But it was gone!! My meal card was not in my purse, where I had thought I put it earlier, was not in my back pocket, it was gone!!I was very sad, I figured woohoo I went a whole year without loosing this thing, as some people I know have. But I thought maybe one of the girls down at the caf found it, so I went down, looked where I had been sitting, asked, but no luck!! So I came back and in one last hope of finding it, I cleared my bed off and shook out the blanket. AND then it happened, my meal card came flying gloriously out, it was a beautiful moment. I am still successful at not loosing the card!! That made my whole night just a little bit better, and a whole lot more exciting then usual. Gotta study, I'll write tomorrow.....

I am still procrastinating, I really should be studying, but haven't gone I haven't gone back to it yet. I did study for an hour, then I took a break, and the break lasted a little longer than I had first expected. I was just going to go get a tea and get back to work, but I talked to Sam and Lisa for a bit and then unexpectedly I won on roll up the rim, it was only a donut, but I still won, I never win. I was then obligated to go share this with Shannon. Then we talked for awhile and now I'm back to study.

Hey I got back from home a little while ago, Rich drive me up, (thanks!). I had a very nice weekend, the puppy was great. Mom wasn't feeling to great though, she got bit by something as her and Rich were leaving the Dominican, she got to the Moncton airport and had to take an ambulance to the hospital on Wednesday night, then they drove home at 11:30pm. So mom wasn't feeling to great all weekend and still wasn't feeling good when I left. I hope she's feeling better now. Sam and I went out to the Aquarius on Saturday, Ryan and Melissa met us there, they had on really good drink specials. Apparently I ramble when I'm drinking (according to Sam), he doesn't drink now, so he might not remember what he was like when he drank. I did some laundry and now I am taking a break from studying, no one is here! Its crazy, its extended quiet hours for exams anyway, but this is eerily quiet. Anyway gotta get back to studying, I only have 8 days left of this year!Gotta go, and seriously people if your reading this, anyone, Comment!!

I got out of class so early, it was great! Usually it's just an hour and twenty minutes of copying notes, but today she just went over the review sheet (which is ridiculously long) and asked if we had any questions about it. After that we were allowed to go. It was only twenty minutes. I hope my next two classes are that short. Well I enjoy Criminology and she always lets us go early, so I don't really care about leaving early in that class, but then its ohilosophy and my proff insists on keeping us the full hour and twenty, although he did let us out twenty minutes early on Tuesday. That is going to be such a brutal exam, there is so much reading I have to do, interpret and then figure out what the philosophers "really" meant when they say anything. Sociology he never tests us to hard and we went over the stuff we need to know on Wednesday, I'm really only worried about economics, and that's the last one I write, so I'll have lots of time to study. Have a happy Easter everyone!

Just got back from our wing dinner at Mikes, it was really nice. About 21-23 people showed up. They reserved a whole section for us. I had a chicken pesto pasta dish, it was very good. I also had a coffee and a Baileys, which they charged me $5.75 for, how crazy is that? I got told to go home and leave at one point, but I think the person didn't hear what I said at all.Hopefully anyway. Whatever.I am going to go home tomorrow, I hope mom and Rich come get me, I loath the bus, absolutely loath it. I'm going to start packing soon, and work on some economics, since I have the room to myself and there are no distractions.(Meghan went home earlier, not home, to her boyfriends house rather) So I'm going to go pack, read, and go to sleep, hopefully mom gives me a call.

I was just thinking, what does mom consider late? Cause she said that their plane was getting in 'late' Wednesday evening. But really what time does that imply? Are they coming home that night, or is it so late that they will be staying in Moncton? hmm..... Anyway I only have 4 classes laeft of my first year at st thomas. Its crazy!! Soon to be three actually, I have a class soon, my last economics class, of my entire life! And yes I do mean entire, that class is going to bring my GAP down horribly. I am going to have to study my ass off toget even a B. He gave us 2 tests all term and I didn't do so great on the second one, but its worth 25% of our grade. The other is worth 25% and class assignments are worth 10%-20% and our final is worth 30-40%. He's an ass of a teacher to. anyway gotta go, can't be late for my completely unproductive economics class, write later.stupid proff......I'll show him.....thinks he's so great.....

Hey, I only have one class of each left, so 10 classes and I will be done! I get done Thursday at 4pm. Hopefully mom and/or rich will come get me. Talked to Sam tonight, he got one of his tests back, he did very well, I'm happy for him. He;s taking good care of the puppy, letting her out in the morning before school and out again later when he gets home. She's been eating great. I figured out why she'll eat on the first day the can is opened, its because its still room temperature. She doesn't like it right out of the fridge, its to cold. After 20mins sitting out its not good for puppy's to eat. If you put it in the microwave for 30 seconds its the right temp! Now the puppy will eat better. I'm happy I get to go home soon, I'm done with studying constantly, only for exams, then I'm done. I hope Xerox calls soon for an interview. Anyway I'm going to read and play some solitare, then go to bed. Good night all!!

Hey this weekend was nice, Sam had called here and found out I was coming, so he made some supper. It was very sweet of him. Saturday we just hung out at the house with the puppy, it was nice. Not that we really had a choice, cause the bus doesn't run in Westgate at all on Saturday or Sunday. Stupid cabs in sj are seriously overpriced! Here its $4 to go anywhere that I've ever wanted to go. Could be from downtown to school, but its only $4, we are getting ripped off in sj. I paid 4$ to the bus stop in Fredericton, 30$ for my ticket, 10$ for my cab home, and 11$ for my cab back to the SMT station in sj, AND the cab was 30minutes late, I called at 5pm, Sam called at 5:10pm to see if they sent one , the woman said that the cab was in westgate, I called at 5:20pm, she again told me he was almost there, Sam called at 5:30 and the chick asked him "Westgate, that's the one off of Manawogonish road, right?". Why wouldn't she have asked that the first time we called??!! Sam then gave the cab company directions to my house and the cab driver showed up shortly after. My bus is supposed to leave at 5:40pm, we arrived there at 5:45pm and the bus was thankfully still there. People don't EVER call Royal Taxi if you have to be somewhere, even if you call early to make sure that you'll be there, don't, and I repeat don't call Royal. They have lost one customer here, and I hope that everyone that reads this will also stop calling them. Follow in my footsteps people!! Anyway gotta write an essay and finish another one and I 've already been goofing off for a considerable amount of time, OH wait, one more thing, while I was home mom called me from the Dominican, how cool is that! I guess they're not going to get some package thingy. Anyway good night all, I'm off to be constructive! hopefully.

Hey this weekend was nice, Sam had called here and found out I was coming, so he made some supper. It was very sweet of him. Saturday we just hung out at the house with the puppy, it was nice. Not that we really had a choice, cause the bus doesn't run in Westgate at all on Saturday or Sunday. Stupid cabs in sj are seriously overpriced! Here its $4 to go anywhere that I've ever wanted to go. Could be from downtown to school, but its only $4, we are getting ripped off in sj. I paid 4$ to the bus stop, 30$ for my ticket, 20$ for my cab home, and 1$ for my cab back to the SMT station, AND the cab was 30minutes late, I called at 5pm, Sam called at 5:10pm to see if they sent one , the woman said that the cab was in westgate, I called at 5:20pm, she again told me he was almost there, Sam called at 5:30 and the chick asked him "Westgate, that's the one off of Manawogonish road, right?". Sam then gave the cab company directions to my house and the cab driver showed up shortly after.

Hey, just got done sociology, he told us some stuff that will be on the exam and gave us a bonus essay that we can write. We'll we had to go get it ourselves, so I did. It has to be a 4000 page essay, like we don't have enough on our hands right now, a bonus essay would have been a little bit more practical, like 1000 words, that could've been does easily, but no he couldn't have done that. We had a quiz today, I did alright, but a reasonable bonus question would be nice, freaking Nazi!!Then I have an economics class, with a proff who teaches nothing that will ever be on any test in that class. Its crazy, he teaches us things in his half assed manner, and then they have nothing to do with anything. Its crazy. But it will all be O.k, cause there are only 2 more classes of each. That's it, then Easter, then exams,blah. Anyway gotta go

Hey, I was just talking to mom, in the Dominican! She found a computer and logged onto messanger. She said its beautiful there, just like a dream. She said that her and Rich have spent alot of time together, and its been nice. I'm really glad that they're having a good time, she said that they were going to go with a group in a jeep somewhere, so I hope they have fun. Also I got my essay done, its not quite 10 pages, but everything is there, if I were to make it 10 it would be ALOT of ramble. I'll see if there is anywhere else that I can add some stuff later.

WOOHOO!!! My first class was cancelled! Its great, cause all that we do in my psychology class is copy notes, its freaking ridiculous! I mean we have a text book that says all the same stuff, but we still are forced to copy it down, crazy! Anyway my friend that sits beside me in that class had two of the reflection bonus papers done, I had completely forgot, so now that I have an extra hour+ I can find some articles and summarize them. THEN....I can date them for today, and say that I had them done or today, but class was cancelled, hehehe.scandalous!! Anyway I have to start work on my devious little plan right now, with all this extra time, HA!!

Hey tonight was our house dinner. It was a good, meal; chicken, potatoes, carrot's, and a chocolate mouse with a strawberry. It was sad though, cause all the 4th years gave speeches and awards to people that had helped out. I think I made a good decision choosing to live in res again next year. There was a speech made by someone on the house alumni. She said that the friends that she made while living in Vanier were priceless. Some had been in her wedding, one was her best friend, she had a fiance here, she had net the man she married here, she just had a very memorable experience in general. I think that I will try to get involved more next year. I am now going to work on my essay, which I've already added to and is now a little over 7 pages, I still have to write the conclusion and will have to sum up the opinion of two philosophers, so I can make that another couple of pages easily. I hope mom is having a wonderful time in the Dominican right now. Good night all!!!

Tonight was our wing meeting, at 6pm. Jackie and I went to it after watching Wm& Grace ( an enjoyable shoe, I would recommend it to all). There were wing awards and some peoples roommates made up some interesting ones, I made up Jackies and she made up mine, we're not roommates, but she lives in a single and my roommate is never around to participate in this stuff. I recieved an award that says, this is to certify that Krista Flower has successfully completed a year of living in Vanier Hall and is hereby honourd with the award: Most likely to spill coffee. I thought that was a good award, I'm getting better at not spilling it, but I still have trouble walking with an open coffee (or at least a full one). I gave Meghan the most beautiful hair in the world award, because she really does have great hair, I'm sure that everyone is pretty jealous. I know I am!(: But then again she puts a considerable amount of time and effort into her hair, and I'm just pretty lazy when it comes to stuff like that. I only have 15 classes left, 3 of each! Its crazy. Oh and mom and RIch are leaving for Puerta Cana tomorrrow morning, they are leaving sj at 4am to get there and have breakfast. Sam is at my house puppy sitting (thanks hun!). Which is great cause the puppy LOVES him and follows him everywhere so she probably won't even notice when mom and Rich leave. I'm glad that he's puppy sitting instead of bringing her to someones house and making her stay with people that she doesn't really know. That would be RIPPING the puppy from her home, she would be devastated!! This really works better for everyone, plus I'm pretty sure Sam doesn't mind staying at the house, its quiet, my beds reallly comfy, and we have satelitte, so he'll be alright. Plus the bus stop is just outside our door, even closer than at home, really the front lawn is the bus stop. Its pretty nice. Anyway I had a pretty unproductive day filled with tea, coffee, supper, Will & Grace, and some more tea. Tomorrow I'm going to do alot of work though. Tuesdays and Thursdays are kinda rough and tiring cause I have 3 hour and twenty minute classes right in a row. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday its only 2 classes and I have a lunch break in between them. So, tomorrow is really a better day to do work than today, I made a good decision. Night all!!
