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.
