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!!!!
