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.....
Tuesday, April 06, 2004
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, 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
Thursday, April 01, 2004
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!!
