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!!

Hey, just got done another dreadfully long philosophy class. Only 3 left! Then not another philosophy course, essay, discussion, lecture, in my life!! I'm glad that I have the professor that I do though, some of them are pretty bad, so I've heard. I'm going to work on my essay, I found two other hand written pages, that I had forgotten to include while I was typing it up, score! That made my whole week just a little better, and when Jackie carried me across the mud/puddles, she just picked me up and threw me over her shoulder! It was great.(thanks Jackie) Haven't heard back from Xerox about that job, but I think that they are posting it until April 6th. The start date is May 5th, so I'll still get a little bit of a break. It would be nice. Gotta work on the essay, I heard some people talking in my class, and some of them haven't even started. They're hoping to write a 10 page paper in one weekend. That's crazy!!Anyway gotta go

Hey, today has been agood day. I was talking to Melissa earlier and she told me that it would be crazy of me to miss last class bash, now that I'm 19, so I've decided to stay up here until the 9th of April. So today is 11 days til I get to go home. I think it'll be fun. I went on the internet and found a whole wack of simple shooter recipes, some of them have some very creative names. Ones calles ducks fart. I forget what it had in it, but if you would like a copy of it, and I haven't already forwarded to you, email me at trinity16@isaintjohn.com, oh and I apparently have a hotmail account still. Its trinity16@hotmail.com, I just don't get any mail at that one, but you can send me mail at that address, if you want to, it has all of these addresses saved in my contact list, and I have no idea who alot of them are anymore. I'm very excited to try some of the shooters.

Jackie and I drank here with Nicole last night for awhile, then Jackie and I went out to the Social Club. It was nice, we both had fun. I spent the night over there again last night. It was great, we've been saying all year that we should have a "sleep over" or something to that effect and now we finally have. It was nice. There are only 12 days til Easter Weekend, well 11 until I'm going home, April 8th. But 12 until the actual weekend. I hop I get a call back from Xerox, that would be an awesome job, and its only for 4 months, so they wouldn't expect me to transfer up here or anything. Plus $11 an hour never hurts work on my essay, I got a lot done yesterday, that's why I didn't feel one bit guilty about going out. I only really have to compare the two views of Augustine and Boethius and write my conclusion. It might be a little under 10 pages, but he's not to strict about that. My last 10 pages essay in Humanities was only 7 pages and I still got 100%. It was nice cause it was worth15% of our final grade. I recently just applied for a scholarship type thing and needed a reference letter. I asked my philosophy teacher and he wrote it up for me and gave me a copy the very next class. He said that I was a hard working who was improving consistently and would probably come out of his course with a B+/A-. So I'm pretty happy about that. Hopefully the A-, but a B+ is still good. I'll know in June/July if I got any of the scholarships that I qualify for. I hope I get one or two, its always nice to get free money.

Hey, today was good. I went to sociology this morning, he gave us a couple of the topics that will be on the exam. It was nice. Then to economics, where he continued to be as boring as ever! I am never taking another economics class. in my life!! Flutzey started, but she's gotten a tiny bit better and I think she's playing on the other side of the room, so its not as loud. She's still playing way to high for any song, but it's still the same three songs. 13 days 'til Easter weekend! Then its extended quiet hours, so people can study, so I won't have to listen to her anyway. It'll be great. Now I'm going to go down to the study lounge on first floor, work on my ten page philosophy paper, and go to bed later. Oh Meghan's man "friend" is coming up to Fredericton this weekend, so I signed the sheet so that he can sleep here(in her bed), I would just sleep in Jackies room, but she told me earlier that she's going out and she's not sure if they will even find each other tonight. He has friends up here too. oh, I just mailed a resume to Xerox, $11an hour for 37.5 hours a week. Inbound, english.

Today I had a criminology test, I had figured that she was going to give us a great big long test before our final exam, so I studied my little butt off. Went in there this afternoon. It was only 40 questions! Multiple choice and true or false. I was done writing in a half an hour! it was crazy, I had an nice long break in between my second and third class. Then in third period, philosophy, he let us go ten/twenty minutes early! It was a great day. Breaks left and right, usually I don't get any breaks in between them, all three right in a row. Maybe I won't mind having those breaks in between my classes as much as I thought I would next year. Really I still get done my days at the same time as this year. 2:20pm on mon, wed, friday and 3:50pm on Tuesday and Thursday. That's fine with me really. I'll have lots of time to do stuff in between classes, like maybe reading that I "forgot" to do the night before. And next year I'll have a lot of professors who I like or have heard are good. Really I was worried about nothing. If I do have any problems I'll take it to jackass student advisor, Ryan, he sounds helpful, unlike my no good, useless..........But anyway I can't dwell on the fact that I got stuck with the shittiest possible advisor in the history of advisors, So I won't dwell on that. Hopefully I don't have her next year, I wonder if I can ask for someone else...;(

Hey, I was just doing up my schedule, writing it down and seeing what it looks like. Well didn't I schedule everything with an hour and twenty minutes between my first term courses. on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have 3 hours in between my classes! hopefully I can get an appointment with my student advisor, not that she's at all helpful. Maybe she might know a way for me to fix it, if not next year my days are going to be long.

I just looked in the School calendar that gives us information about degrees, courses, etc. I looked up what the minimum GPA is for a BSW. Its only 2.7! I'll be able to get that, what was I worried about?! That doesn't mean that I'll get in for sure, but I have a chance. There's a part that shows how they assess and choose the people for the BSW. One section (worth 15%) is called the Experience criteria: work, volunteer, life and learning experiences. I have TONS of life experience AND a shit load of character(in moms opinion). If anything bad ever happens in your life, it builds character. I've had alot of bad shit happen to me, I'm full of character. I feel very happy now. Gotta study. bye!

Hey my student advisor emailed me back, I had some questions about what I needed for courses next year. I guess that no one is actually in the BSW until they are accepted to the professional stage in years 3 and 4. I'm in a bachelor of arts like everyone else. I can still apply for it next year, but if I don't get in I can still say my major and minor are something else. I've taken some courses so that I'll be able to major in soc and minor in crim. I like both of those courses. I also was taking a human rights course for the hell of it, and I guess that I needed it for social work, so everything worked out well. I am very happy about that. I have a crim test tomorrow, I've already studied some, but need some more. I'm doing pretty good in that class, I think I have an A average. I like the teacher, she's pretty cool. I wanted to take a course with her next year, but it filled up before first years were allowed to register for courses, I guess it's a popular course. I think I'll take it next year.

Hey, I just got done fixing my schedule for next year. I noticed that I had a course that didn't sound all that interesting and had nothing to fall back on if I don't get accepted to the 2nd part of the social work program. They only take 25 people at the most and not even that many if they don't want to. So, I made it so that if I don't get into the 2nd part I will still have the courses to be eligible to change my major to sociology with maybe a criminology minor. Hopefully I get in, but now at least if I don't I'll have something to fall back on. I feel much more at ease knowing that. Cause there are a lot of people in the social work program and I don't know if my GPA would be high enough to beat some of them. And I think you have to have a certain GPA just to apply, I'll look into it later. I can't believe I'm already registering for classes again. I can still remember sitting on the floor in the living room, papers all over the coffee table, trying to make up my schedule for this year. Crazy!! Anyway I'm going to study some Criminology before I go to bed. Night!

Hey, went home this weekend. Seen Tasha, Amanda, and Jessica on Saturday. I guess Tasha and Amanda are going to go to Florida on May 9th, 2004. They invited me to go with them but it would be an odd number of people and one of us would never have someone to get on the rides with. I checked out the resort that they ware going to stay at, and it looks really nice, Orangeville resorts. It would only be approximately $350 for my plane ticket and about $400 to get into the parks, the resort is free because they work at cendant, in the travel department. I'm still thinking about it, Tasha wrote me an email that Jessica might be going and a friend of Tashas, but thats still an odd number, so I'm kinda fucked either way.

Hey I just got done my sociology class, we had a quiz, I did pretty good. We go over them after we hand it in, so I knew what I answered for the questions and can tell how many I got right. Like 70% I think. Anyway I'm going home tonight. I have to take the stupid bus, whish I hate. I called mom up on Thursday night, and she was all like 'oh yeah I can come up and get you, we can go to chapters.' Then I heard Rich come in and remind her that they had to take the car in to get the tires aligned. So he kinda burst my bubble. So inevitably I'm taking the bus, which takes me all the way up town, but mom and rich have tanning around the time my bus gets in, so they can come get me right after they are done tanning at 7pm, my bus gets in at 7:15pm, so it works out pretty well. Then we are going out for a late supper. Saturday I'm going to hang out with Tasha and Amanda when she gets off work, then we're going to go out to a club or something. It should be fun. I'm kinda looking forward to it, we didn't get to hang out at all over March break, so this will be nice. There is only 3 weeks left til Easter weekend and exams. This year went SO.. fast. This semester especially. Anyway gotta study for an economics test I'm having in about an hour. Write later maybe.

Whoa, did I ever over react. Next year will be second year, who's to say that we will even have any problems. Next year I'll be really busy, and I'm sure she will be also. If I am studying and she starts next year, I can always ask her to stop for the time being. When I knocked on her door, and I wanted her to stop, I didn't even have to ask her, she opened the door and offered. I really do like living in this room, and if I really need to do or write something I can always just go to the study lounge or to the library. It will all be fine. I really was just was over reacting. I'm fine now and have had time to think about it.

Today I put my residence request in, Meghen even told me to put her down as a roommate for next year. She's still not sure what she's doing about her friend that wants to be roommates, but said that she wants to be roommates with me. I was just talking to Flutezey and her roommate for next year, and she is also staying in her same room, Next to me! But I already put on my sheet that I want to be in this room, so tomorrow I'm going to go and chnge it to Jackie's room now, she can't hear her at all. I hope I can change it! I will take a nervous breakdown if I have to listen to that next year. Gotta go study

I forgot to write this on Monday, but there's this guy in my economics class who I think Fancy's me. He has already told me that he'd get me a free week membership at his gym, cause he knows that I work out everyday. Well anyway on Friday I was talking to him after class, I walked over to Tims and I offered to get him something, cause I have a ridiculous amount of money left on my meal card. He said no thank you, and I said not even a cookie? He said that he doesn't usually buy things that he can make at home. He said that he'd bring me some chocolate chip cookies Monday, he's been baking them for a long time. So on Monday He brought me 3 chocolate chip cookies! How freaking nice is that. And the cookies were great! I'm going to ask him for the recipe, Meghan wants the recipe too.

Hey, today was a good day, I didn't have a sociology quiz, but I studied the last night, so I'll be prepared if we have one Wednesday. I have psychology midterm tomorrow, but I'm kinda procrastinating studying. I answered all of the review questions, and there were alot of them, and now I'm just kinda taking a break(long, mind you, but still just a break), I plan on getting back to it relatively soon. I just finished my tea, peppermint, which I enjoy quite a bit. I also enjoy slip on shoes, I really had underestimated moms genius all these years. I don't know why I never tried them sooner, I am in pure glory by owning these shoes now. I not only have black ones, but when I realized the comfort of them I went back and bought them in navy blue. Its Great! O.K time to study, right after I dust..... and brush my teeth.....and...

I'm done writing my criminology paper, have to do some touch ups with the citing, but I can do that tomorrow. My psych teacher is a nutbar. We have a test on Tuesday march 16th, she gave us a review sheet. That was alright. She's testing us on a chapter we haven't even done, I mean at all, haven't touched it. Not that it matters much cause all that we do in class is copy tons of notes, I swear she must copy the text and put it on the over head, cause that's pretty much it.But she doesn't just let us copy the notes, she talks about stuff while we're doing it, and thinks that we hear a word that she's saying. She's burnt! So right now, I'm answering all of the questions that are on the review sheet and I am so frustrated, some of them we have never talked about. My crim paper is only 4 and a half pages, but I'll add more to it later on. And to top it all off, I've got a really bad headache. I really hope flutzey doesn't start up again. She started at 5pm, so I went and got some supper, ate in the common room, and when I got back she had finished thankfully. If she starts up I'm just going to go next door and tell her I've got a headache and request that she stops.

Today I was slow getting started on my essay, but now that I have started I'm already done 3 pages, hand written, it only has to be 5 pages. Double spaced with 1.25 margins. This is great. It's a research paper, and being a first year student I can't really make any statements or opinions yet (according to my proff), so I'm just quoting the f*ck out of it. I put it into my own words a little, but really it is just a lot of quotes. Its fantabulous! I wish more proffs would assign papers like this, I mean it was a lot of work to pick a topic, find articles and figure out how to use them, but after that it is all down hill. I don't have a lot of papers though, some people have had proffs that give them essays for every class. I haven't wrote any essays for sociology (except for the midterm, that was an essay question), this is the first one in crim, haven't wrote any for economics, only a few for psych (but 2 of them were for bonus points last term), but a whole bunch for philosophy. But I like my proff, hate writing the essays, but he'll go over your draft with you before you hand it in and tell you where to add stuff or take stuff out. Although I'm not looking forward to writing my next essay, 10 freaking pages. Thats just ridiculous. Last semester I had him and we had a 10 page paper due at the end of the term too. I only wrote 7 pages and I got 100%, so maybe he'll take less in this class to. Anyway going to get back to writing my essay, write later maybe.

Hey, tonight instead of writing my crim paper I'm drinking and Shannon, Jackie and I are either going to a party or to the social club. Which is a good club that I enjoy going to. Flutzey is making a horrible attempt at playing her flute AGAIN. That is O.K cause I'm drinking and going out tonight. Tomorrow however I'm going to be working on my paper and will ask her to stop if she starts and plays the same songs over and over. I think she might be up to three songs now, but none of them are any good, she must look for the most irritating songs in the world. Whatever she can enjoy her relentless flute badgering tonight.

Miss x, whom we'll now refer to as flutzey is at it again, with the same two songs! Again! Today was moderately productive, went to psych, got a review sheet thing (we have a test next week), then I went to Crim, it was decided that we will have our test next week, March the 25th, which is great, then I finished off with philosophy, handed in my paper and we read some. When I returned to my room I made some notes from the articles, went to supper, and came back and finished making some notes. I'm going to figure out how to use the info that is given in the articles in an essay that will hopefully make some sense. Now I'm going to start working on the project, and study some sociology later.

Guess what, well I'll tell you what, my neighbor(one of the girls in the next room, whom we'll refer to as miss x) received the second part of her student loan. She bought some things... a T.V....some clothes maybe....... And a flute. You may be saying, 'oh great a flute, some nice music...'Well NO, I've been listening to the same 2 songs at a pitch that is way to high for the last three days! The same 2 songs. And loud hours are from 4-9pm every night. Do ya think she followed that? nope, a proctor tallked to her today or yesterday about it, thank god. The same 2 songs, a whole new world and some other annoying one. You may be thinking, great only during loud hours, that's not to much.Wrong!!! Cause miss x finds it necessary to practice (the 2 songs) over and over again for an hour and a half to two and a half hours. Then she takes a break, usually ten to fifteen minutes.And starts up again, yes people, again. (2 songs!!). I am SOOO... happy I only have a month left here, any longer and I'd be getting violent. AND you'd think, we'll someone who is just starting out, and doesn't really know how to play the flute, would buy an inexpensive/used flute.Nope miss x spent $300 on this!! I hope she realizes that she's not good, and gives up soon, or gets some lessons because she realizes you can't teach yourself to play the flute. And I've gotta stay in my room more than usual, because I'm writing a paper and need to see my computer for the articles!SO I'm stuck in here! And you'd think miss x would realize or take notice of meghan and I Always turning on the music, as soon as she starts playing. Not just turning it on, but loud , so her stupid flute is drowned out. but no, doesn't even notice.Anyway I'm going to have a cup of tea, read and go to bed. Good night all!!

I just got an email from my crim proff and she said that she would be open to moving our test to march 24th, and that we will discuss it in class. I hope it gets changed, that would give me a lot more time to study, and work on my project. And I found my article that I had deleted by accident. I looked for it all last night, and finally gave up and just emailed the librarian and asked her for some help. She emailed me back with directions on how I could find it, and it only took me 2 minutes to find this article. It made my day.My sociology class was pretty good to, we didn't have a pop quiz today, so we'll probably have one on Friday. That'll give me much more time to study for that to. This is turning out to be a pretty good week. Oh, last night was small ville night, and I had watched it last week at home, forgetting that we get it a week ahead of normal cable, and Jackie forgot to watch it last week, so we both missed the cables last week of it. Last night was the one that I had already watched at home. So we both missed an episode, and were a little lost on what was going on.Stupid satellite being a week early........

Today was very long. Sociology was ok. We are still talking about Marx and his view of things, in great detail. My proff is definitely a Marxist. So we are going to spend way to much time on this topic. Economics was extremely boring as usual. But then again I never was a big fan of math and graphs. Tonight I finished up my philosophy paper. Tomorrow I'm going to bring it to my proff so he can give me any tips that he might have on how to improve it. Then I'm going to work on my crim paper. If my flashdriver arrives tomorrow. My paper is due this Thursday, on Tuesday I have a psych test and a criminology test, and on that Thursday I have the crim paper due. So its a busy week to say the least. I'm really looking forward to all of the work. There is only one month from today left of classes. But they run from April 15-22. So I don't know if I can make it to my consultation on the 19th, to get my wisdom teeth out. Hopefully I can, but the exam schedule isn't out yet. I'll talk to mom, see if she can reschedule it. Anyway gotta do some reading.

Hey, sorry for the post delay, but moms computer isn't working at the moment, so I couldn't post at home. I had a lovely break. It was needed. It kinda makes me miss home more though, but only 5 and a half weeks and classes will be done, then exams and school is done. Fabulous. I mean, I like school, but I could be done and be just as happy. I have a 2 page essay due this Thursday and a 5 page crim paper due next thursday.oh, I also forgot my flashdriver in moms car, she wanted to borrow it, never ended up using it. It just sat in the car the whole time. I realized that earlier, so I called and mom and she is going to send it in the mail tomorrow, with speedy delivery or something. I'll just save my work somewhere else for right now, I have a whole wack of unused memory. Anyway gotta go write that essay, write later.

Hey, sorry to be so slack on the posting, but the computer at home is busted. My break is going very well. I had a dentist appointment though. I'm getting 3 wisdom teeth out in April. Big fun, but at least it will be done. And its only 3, cause one of my permanent teeth was knocked out, so the dentist just moved all of my teeth forward, and when my wisdom tooth came in there was room. So only 3 have to come out. Ha to all of you who needed all 4 out!! Sorry about that, just trying to make getting my teeth out sound a little better.(" only 3, not 4"). So I'm pretty happy about that. Went to supper with Sam tonight, it was good. Going to lunch with Lisa on thursday, but I don't know where to meet her (if you read this before Thursday comment and tell me where). I'm going to look for the numbers that she gave me, her work number and everything, I feel pretty special :) Anyway gotta go. Try and write soon.
