Mom and Rich drove Gizmo and the rest of our gifts up to us yesterday. Mom, Rich and I went out to Smitty's for a late lunch at about 2pm, we all ended up getting breakfast though. Pancakes and strawberries, sausagoos, bacon, and eggs. It was all very nice. Sam and I eat there all the time. They have breakfast, lunch, and supper all day. I had strawberries and banana pancakes one night at about 10pm, they were awesome. I'm wearing one of the sweaters I got for x-mas at stiches. This one is the medium one, and I'm wondering if the large will be tight rnough after I wear it for alittle while, b/c this one has loosened up some. But the medium and large don't feel that much different NE way. I don't know what the point is of having 2 different sizes when they don't feel any different. I went to stiches yesterday after lunch and bought a pair of nice jeans and two three quarter sweaters for $40.25 total. The jeans fit really nicely. Sam also bought a nice dress shirt at fairweathers and a sweater vest thing at stiches. I'm not to partial to the vest thing, but I'll hide it in a drawer after a bit.He has so many clothes he doesn't know what to do with them all, so when I'm not to fond of a certain item of clothing, I just put it in one of his drawers. (he has a big plastic container that I bought for him, b/c he was just throwing his clean clothes in the corner. He doesn't use the drawers). I got alot of nice things for x-mas. Sam did as well. I bought mom the closet organizer, I just hope that it gets installed in the closet. Rich and I put the shelves together x-mas day. I hope that Susan liked the present I bought her, I hope it fits alright. I know she liked the coffee though, her being just as much of a coffee nut as me. Anyway I'm going to go make some coffe for myself and possibly a sandwich. Write later......:)

I got home at about 12pm this morning. The bus was half an hour late arriving. We left SJ 15mins late to begin with and the bus driver drove kinda slow b/c of the snow. We were supposed to arrive at 11:15am not 11:45am. Whatever. I had a nice christmas. It was nice to see my family, I don't get to see them often. We went out Friday for Lisa's birthday. We went to Leo's supper club, it was good food. I had a good time and thought that I was being nice, but apparently not good enough. Whatever. Gizmo was supposed to come up to visit for a couple of weeks, before school starts. Since we took the bus she couldn't come. Mom and Richard are going to bring her and the rest of the presents up sometime next week or this week. All of my friends are still in their own provinces, which isn't this one. So, I'm kinda stuck by myself, which is pretty lonely. Sam works probably until 10pm. Then we are going to snuggle up on the couch and watch the movie house of wax, he got it for x-mas from his niece. I got alot of nice things. I got some really nice sweaters and scarves. One sweater is super fuzzy, I love it!! Richard got us alot of gift certificates, which is really useful for us. We got three blockbuster cards, a wack of tim hortons gift cards and lots of movie money for the empire theatres. Those will be really good, cause Sam and I go to movies on date night usually. Mom and Richard got Sam a really nice outfit. Some nice jeans and a nice dress shirt too. He really likes them. I'm sad that Gizmop couldn't come to visit, but the roads weren't the best for driving, so better safe than sorry. Anyway I'm going to go use one of those Tim hortons gift certificates and get myself a very large coffee....:)

I'm very excited about Christmas and people openin gthe gifts that I bought for them. I think I did pretty well this year. I bought Sam 3 new games at Blockbuster, it was buy 2 get one free and the one that I was planning on getting him was on sale. So I got the one that I wanted for 20$ less, buying him the other one wasn't to much more than I would have spent on just buying the game Spartan. I also got him a memory card, but I'm not letting him know that I got that one, cause it's something he really wants, so it'll still be a surprise when he opens it. I wrapped it once, but after I decided that I wanted it to be a surprise I put it in a larger box and wrapped it again, so he won't be able to tell. His parents were going to come and get us Thursday, but for some reason they couldn't leave Saint John until 8pm, so they wouldn't have got here until at least 9pm, then packing the van up and stuff, we wouldn't get into SJ until 10pm-11pm.So mom called this morning and it turned out that I have a dentist appointment at 2pm Thurday, so she's going to come and get us in the morning. Sam only has until the 27th off, so it would have been a whole day of his vacation kinda wasted. This is better I think. Maybe they can drive us back to Fredericton.He should be getting home soon....he's working a split today. I think I'll offer to buy us coffees when he arrives. Anyway, Merry Christmas!!! Write later.......comment!!....:)

Yesterday my friend Amy and I spent alittle over 4 hours studying for the adult courts exam. We went throught the text and tabbed what we thought was important. Today I studied from my notebook before I went to write it. I spent three hours writing it, lots of people finished before me and lots probably after. I think I did pretty well on it. She's a difficult marker, but I know that I passed. I'm all done now, 12 days until Christmas, I really have to get my christmas shopping done. The game that Sam wants, he rented it at blockbuster, no where sells it yet. I checked Zellers, game zilla, and seen if blockbuster was selling it yet, no where, it's called Spartan if anyone sees it while they're out shopping, let me know where. I finished mom and Richard, Lisa, and got Sam started. He'll be easy enough to finish. Sam and I are going to go to a movie tomorrow night, if anyone has suggestions, let me know. Maybe a comedy, I'll have to check whats playing. I just checked my Historical Reactions marks, I got a B for a final grade, not to bad. I liked the proff, maybe I can get him for something next semester. I don't have O'Regan for anything next semester at all, thank goodness, I don't think I could handle anymore of her classes. I think I did well in my other two classes. My classical soc theory and my soc of the family classes were pretty good. (other than the nasal proff, I have her for 2 classes next semester, I'm going to drop the one I don't need and pick up something else) Anyway I'm going to go online and play some games......cause I can.....I don't have anything to read....or anything to write....or anything to study...:)

Oh......I don't think my exam went well yesterday. I got there and I was already frustrating, after having worked on the take home exam the night before, and so I got there and felt bad to begin with and I worked on the mutliple choice for an hour, and I think that I didn well on those, she even gave us a bonus one, surprisingly enough, but then on the short answer, I don't even want to think about the grade I got on that part. They were worth 10% each and three of them. I might have done acceptable on the first one, but it was all down hill after that. I will be so happy to be done with school. I'm going to change my schedule so that I don't have the same proff for two classes next semester, I mean the teacher is an easier marker, but it's the nasal one, and I don't think I could handle it. I don't have Professor O'Regan for anything next semester, and I don't think I'll ever schedule anything with her again, she has been a pain in the ass for a proff. I'm going to check and see if I can get professor Hale for something, she is a fair marker, and it's always a take home exam with her. I'm going to hand in my exam for the class that I'm taking with her this semester tomorrow, I just finished it. I think I did a good job on it. It's a good 9 pages and I think I answered the questions well. After I hand that in tomorrow morning I'm heading down to the library to study for my Adult courts exam, that's my last one (woohoo!), but it's going to be insanely difficult, so I want to study really well for it. Anyway Sam jsut got home, gonna go rent a movie.....wish me luck on my exams......:)

Two Down, two to go and one write and hand in to my proffs mailbox.I think that I dis well on my historical reactions exam, I think that I did alright on my soc exam, probably could have prepared fo rit better, but oh well, at least its over!! The next two will be harder though. I think I'll start writing my sociology one after supper. Sam has today off, so we might rent a movie. I seen Gill before my second exam, we sat in the cafeteria and talked for a bit. She graduates at the end of this year!! I'm so envious! I asked her what she plans on doing after she graduates, she's unsure, might take a year or wo off before grad school and move out west. I'm not even going to think about grad school, blah. I just want to get out into the work force and start making some $money$. In the end it's all about money, ah.....money.... We put up our christmas tree, it looks great!! I had asked mom if she would look through her old ornaments and lend me the ones she wasn't going to use for my treee, but instead, when she and Debbie came up to get the puppy, she bought me some at Zellers, a package of green and red bulbs (some glittery, I love glitter!!), and some multi color lights and a nice star for the top, I think it looks awesome, but I'm a little bias, cause it's our first christmas tree and I'm pretty happy anyway. I took pictures to, one with it lit in the daytime and one at night. I think I will invite Sam to go for a walk with me to Tims.....write later....

I have two exams tomorrow. Blah!! I'm feeling pretty confident about them though. One is at 9am, I hate getting up early, ant the other is for 2pm. My first one, historical reactions, he didn't really tell us what to expect or what we should focus on, but I think it'll be an o.k exam. He said there were some opinion questions, so as long as you can back it up somehow I'm sure it'll be alright. Then at 2pm, I have my Classical Sociological Theory class. I think I'll do alright on that one, she told us exactly what we'll need to know. Then I have the rest of that day off, Thursday I'm taking Sam to lunch t the Fredericton inn for his birthday and then I'm going to work on my take home sociology of the family exam. Hopefully I can finish that on Thursday, cause Friday I'm going to study for my Charter exam and do the online part of it. I think I'll take a look at it on Thursday, when she posts it.Then on Saturday I'll go and write my Charter exam, take a break for a couple hours, study for my adult courts exam, which is going to be insane!! She told us that the average for the exam was a C+, that's including the high end and the low. So the middle will be around a C. On average she said most classes get somewhere in the B- range for a final grade. This is a second year class!! There are some people that are taking a criminology major, 4th year, andthey are having a hard time!! I am not looking forward to that exam, thankfully it's my last one, on Tuesday the 13th of December. Then I'm done!! Immediately following that exam, even though it's at 9am, and it will take about 4 hours (according to the Proff), and I'll be home around 1pm, I'm going to have a drink of some sort, I've got enough liquor here that I 'll figure it out, but whatever I decide on it's gonna be strong!! :) The 14th of December, I'm going to do Nothing, and I mean nothing, just sit around in my p.j's and watch t.v, possibly make myself something to eat (something very easy to make, like cereal), and sleep, that's it. It's going to be fabulous!! Now I have something to look forward to, excellent. Anyway now that I'm in a happy mood and have something to look forward to, I 'm going to continue studying..........

I am so tired today! Sam came home last night and asked if I wanted to switch date night to Friday. It's weird for him to have Wednesday and Friday off. It's usually Tuesday and Wednesday's., so date night is always on Tuesdays. So instead of going to see Harry Potter today we are going on Friday. When he got home he asked me if I wanted to go to the Hilltop for a couple of hours, i agreed and we went. he bought me four beer annd Timmy bought me one too. We danced and had alot of fun. We didn't get home until 2am or alittle after, and I have class at 10:30am mon,wed, fri. I think I'm going to drop my 9am class on tuesday and Thursday next semester, cause if getting to class for 10:30am is a challenge sometimes, I don't think I'd ever want to go to one for 9am. I haven't heard any great things about the proff either. I have to finish a webpage for my Historical Reactions class this weekend. I have to write the content and link it all up, it was supposed to be due Friday but he gave the class until Monday to finish it. Which is awesome, b/c I really don't have time to finish it by Friday. I still have to finish a research paper, and write my moot judgement for Friday. I wouldn't have had time tio finish it. It is worth 40% of our final grade, so you can fail the final exam (25%), but if you can make a good web page your o.k. Anywaqy enough ranting....gotta go to my law and charter class....write later....comment!! :)

My biological fathers dad had passed away on Sunday. I took the bus to SJ on Tuesday, mom had called Sam at home and told him to tell me to take the bus down instead of her driving up to get me Wednesday morning. He met me at school, which was very nice. We then rushed home and packed, Sam bought us some pizza for supper. Then we took the bus to SJ, well when I was purchasing my ticket my visa didn't go through right so the guy wrote me up a free ticket. So we got home and mom was at the bus stop waiting for us. We dropped Sam off at his parents house, then we went home. Wednesday, mom and I got up and got ready, went and picked Sam up and went to the funeral parlour. There were all these people I didn't know from a whole in the ground saying "oh, Krista, our little miracle". I smiled and was poliute. Inside I was thinking"what!! you don't even know me!! you didn't even know my name until I introduced myself!!" "OUR" little miracle. Whatever. I did get to see my sister though, which made it worth going home. Living in different cities and having very different schedules doesn't make it easy to see one another. We spent some time after the funeral at Tim Hortons talking about when we were kids and stuff. I'm starting to remember bits and pieces of my child hood in the last year or two. It's nice.I got home and realized that I have a research assignment due tomorrow. I checked my email and my proff, whom I has emailed Monday about missing class for a funeral, and it turned out that she ssaid that I could have an extension and just to let her know if I needed one. I skipped my soc of the family class this morning and Sam and I went to lunch at the Coffee Mill. It was nice. I went to my adult courts class and was walking home with my friend Amy when a guy from the same class pulled over and asked if we wanted a drive. I took him up on the offer and arrived home very dry. It was nice. Anyway I'm going to go work on the research project, and possibly take a bath....mom gave me some nice vanilla bath salts....:)

The puppy went home yesterday, I miss her already. :( I got some x mas shopping done yesterday when mom and debbie came up. We went to Zellers and the Regent mall. I gtot Sam a couple of things and bought Lisa something I think she'll like. I have this Case judgement to do for my Adult Courts class and it is turning out to be much more difficult than I had anticipated, should've known though, it's my ridiculous proff. Oh well. We went to Starbucks though while we were at the mall, and I tried a gingerbread latte and later on a maple latte. Both very nice, mmm...I have so much school work to do, it sucks!! I still have to start my research paper for my classical theory class, but kinda procrastinating.Anyway gotta get some more work done....wrtite later....

Hello all!!! I was looking at my last post and realized that it was from last Tuesday. I had a nice long weekend. My Thursday Adult Courts class was canselled, and I just didn't go to my sociology class, it was just presentations anyway. Then I had Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off, which was a nice break. I worked on a Case comment for my courts class, but after trying to understand a case for abotu 3hours Io finally gave up. We have the options of doing 5 and she'll take the besst 4 out of five, but I'm just going to stick with best 4 out of 4. I've gotten the same mark for the last three, and I wouldn't have done well on this one, so this would've been my lowest (would have been dropped anyway) so I didn't bother typing it up and wating ink for a bad grade. Seemed kind of pointless. My Charter class today it was online b/c Fridays we have online classes (my proff likes to go to PEI on the weekends), but last Friday was cancelled. So really we'll have 2 online classes this week. There are only 20 days left of school this term. It went really fast. I'm glad. Next semester I have some interesting classes. I think I'm going to drop one of them though, The proff is weird. I have to keep her for my modern sociological Theory class, but I think I'll drop her sociology and ecology class. I 'm not to sure if I like the way she teaches. She'll be talking start saying something, but by the end of teh sentence, she has switched theorists or go off in little rants about nothing. She is alright in her reviews for tests. She gives you the questions that will be on the exam, you answer them and your ready for the exam/test. (she gives more than are aon the exam and then picks some 20/30). but still pretty easy. I'll see what my grade is for this class before I make any decisions. I don't like her vioce though. It's unnaturally high and nasal. Lisa (since I know you read this occasionally) is there anything you need or want for Christmas? Let me know, either comment or email me. I want to start my x-mas shopping soon. I think Jackie and I are going to the mall this evening. I wrote to the library about my problems finding articles that implicitly use a classical theorists methodology in the writing, hopefully a librarian will give me some search tips. Anyway I've gotta get going to my class, write later....:)

My moot factum is turning out to be harder thatn I had anticipated. I thought, ok...I just apply the Oakes test...easy enough right?? Wrong!! It turns out to be alittle trickier than that. Any reasonable person can apply the Oakes test, I sonsider my self to be pretty reasonable, but I don't think that I can say tahta the objective of parliament in prohibiting the possesssion of child porn is pressing and substantial.Well I can, but I think "reasonable" means someone within the Criminal justice system. So I think that I have to find cases or something. I'm going to ask her about it after my adult courts class today. She teaches both, charter and courts. I got my review essay back from my Sociology of the family class, I got an A-. Woohoo!! I got a B on the presentation and my essay on it. I think I'm going to try and get this Proff for another class next semester, I like the way she teaches, a little random, but very approachable. someone asked her when our research paper is due (syllabus says November 24th), and she said " when do you want it to be due?" So now it's not due until Decemeber 1st!! Thats a whole extra week to work on it!! I really have to start working on my web essay thing. I haven't looked at anything to do with the Youth Criminal Justice Act, since I wrote my proposal. The next couple of weeks are going to be brutal, lots of work to do. Anyway I'm going to go sdo the reading for my adult courts class, didn't feel like it last night ;) Write Later....

I just realized that it had been a full week since my last post, I've just been checking the comments and then leaving. Killing some time before my Adult Courts class, but time is getting shorter now. We had a guy come in and show us how to use some of the library web resources better in our research. I likes it, it was very helpful, he gave us a booklet and stuff too. I have taken them before, but forgotten along the way some of the tricks, it was nice to get a refresher course of sorts, and this time actually have a booklet to refer to. This week has gone terribl;y slow, I'm glad that it is finally Thursday. My GST check came in Tuesday, so that was nice. Sam and I went to see North Country. I really enjoyed it. It's based on a true story about sexual harrassment in the workplace. It was good to go see it, now that I've learned some things about laws and charter rights. The U.S is alittle different, but still comparable. Some of the States have a three strike law. You get arrested 3 times in your life and you spend the rest of your life in jail! Doesn't matter if your 3rd strike was something stupid, like a speeding ticket, jail for life!! Anyway I gotta get going to my class.....write later....:)

Hey, it's been alittle while since I have written so I thought I should update those of you who read. I has two large assignments due on Tuesday, I had been very stressed out for awhile, while working on them , so it was a great relief to hand them in. I know I did well on one, I had some help figuring some stuff out from a guy in my Classical theory class. The other I'm not to sure, but I know the proff likes me, so maybe that'll help. Sam and I wen to Boston Pizza for dinner Tuesday (date night). We've decided that one week, the week I pay we'll go to a movie, and the next, when he pays, we'll go out to dinner. That if fine with me cause paying for a movie date on cheap night is cheaper than dinner out. The puppy has been up here for almost a whole week, mom told me that Richard is missing her, I think that mom is too. I'm going to work on my webpage for Historicalk Reactions tonight, and catch up on some reading. Sam works at 5pm so I'll spend some time with him first and then do school work. I have my adult courts class next, she is handing back some case comments that we have done. I don't think I did that great on the one she is going to hand back. Although they are only worth 5% or something, so if you get 4/5, which in theory isn't bad, it's only an 80%, then if you get 3/5, it's a 60%, that is a difference of an A- to a C+. Grr!!!Oh well our class mark is 10% and that's kinda like free marks, we'll for people who go to class, which I do. The girl who sits beside me in this class, had a problem getting my notes from her, she missed like a week and a half of classes, and didn't hand in the research assignment ( I thought she had dropped the class) asked me for my notes today!! I told her to download them off the class website. She is going to fail that class definately! She never comes, doesn't do the work, or assignments, oh well. Anyway I'm going to go get a tea before classs......write later ....:)

I had my midterm , and it was much easier than I had anticipated. Myself and the other girl at my table were the first two to finish. The puppy arrived shortly after I got home. Mom and debbie brought her up, stayed for a bit and then had to leave to get home for dinner. The puppy has been great company. Sam and I went out last night, we went down to Sweetwaters and the Rodeo at around 12:30am. It was ladies night so I didn't have to pay cover. Mark, Sam's friend from work who invited us to go, didn't even hang out with us. We all took a cab down and that was pretty much it. It was alright though, cause then I got Sam to myself, so we went and danced. It was nice. He bought me a couple of beer too. :)
I also had a blow job, which I had forgotten was a very nice little shot. I love whipped cream!! Today Sam and I hung out alittle while, and he left early to go to work, hoping to start early. He worked 51 hours this week, but still wants more.He likes the over time though. I didn't do to much today, Jackie and I went for tea, which was nice. I watched some T.V, baked some more cookies, and started working on a case comment for my adults courts class. The case is called R v. Born with a tooth, but has absolutely nothing to do with teeth and body being born with or without them. It's about an appeal about jury selection. I have no idea what the name is all about, if anybody knows, let me know.Sam went out again tonight with just "the guys" from work. I hope he doesn't come home to late, he usually works pretty early on Sundays. Anyway, I'm going to go finish working on that case.....write later...:)

I finally got my notes back on Tuesday from that girl, but then she borrowed my other notes, I thought she was just going to get them photcopied right away, nope. Just left and didn't return them today either. I'm going to tell her to get them online from nowe on. My proff posts them online, you have to download them though. And I go to class, I deserve my own freaking notes!! She hardly comes. I wonder if she just dropped it because it's a difficult course. Today was the last day to drop classes without academic penalty. If she did, she's in another one of my classes, which she hardly comes....and hopefully I'll get them from her in that class. I have a midterm tomorrow. My proff gave us 20 questions to study for the midterm, she said if we knew the answers to those questions, we'd be prepared for the midterm. The questions are SO random!! The text is screwy in it's layout and the way the author tries to explain things is stupid. Then in class, she just lectures, not notes themselves, just lecturing, and she jumps from subject to subject, and then draws screwy diagrams on the board. She is wacked, I took her over her husband, cause he is also a stupid proff. (you may have heard me rant about him last year) They are the only two sociology proffs teaching some of the required courses for a sociology major. So I'm stuck with either Beavis or Butthead, not a very easy decision. Blah. I also have been having trouble with a research assignment for adult courts. The peace officer is charged with bribe, she wants bail, how do you get it? well you can't! Because it is also a section 469, which is indictable! stupid wench, give us a question like that, not explain how to do it, and tell us that we'll do better on the second research assignment because we can see the mistakes we made on the first one!! She's horrible! I emailed her with a plea for any type of direction she can give me. Seriously.....how do these people get Phd's? Really are they handing them out these days or something? Anyway I have lots to work on, but I'm not going to do it right now, nope not even going to attempt it......I think I'll bake cookies instead......not from scratch, but we bought a nice package thing the other day that will do just fine.

Hey I can't get my Adult Courts notes back from the girl who sits beside me. She doesn't check her emails and hasn't wrote back to me about giving them back. She is in both of my classes Tuesdays and Thursdays. I seen her yesterday in the first class, she was sick so she didn't stay long and I asked her about the notes. She told me that she still hadn't gotten them photocopied, but she would do it after class. I figured that meant that she would give them to me in the second class. But she didn't even show up! And now I'm going to work on the research assignment with some other girls who sit around me, we are all going to take stab at tthe assignment this weekend and then meet on Monday to discuss our answers. However I can't get my notes back about Judicial interim release, which is a big part of the question. Blah...I'm going to stop lending my notes, I'll give people the option to go photocopy them right after or before class, but i'm not letting them leave my possession. And she wants to work "together" on the assignment, but she doesn't even do her work., I'm not going to do the assignment by myself and let her copy from me, no way, I'm just going to tell her that I'm doing it on my own and she can do hers on her own. For my Classical Sociological Theory class we have a midterm next Friday, so I hope she brought the review/study guide to class. This proff is so random, my notes are kind of a jumble of diagrams and unfinished sentences, she startss a thought, doesn't finish it and then movers onto a different idea altogether. It's not just me either, my whole class is confused by her. One good thing that happened though, I got an A- on the proposal that I was really worried about a little while ago. My proff seems really laid back about class and the way that he marks. The proposal was worth 10% of our final grade and the webpage is worth 40%, the actual exam is only worth 25%, and then the other 25% is just in class assignments and attendance. I don't think I'm going to have a hard time with his class. Which is a relief because my law and charter class and adult courts class are really hard. Tonight I'm going out with Jackie, Julia, and Jandra. Jackie and I went to the L.C yesterday and bought some cosmopolitans and some twiste shooters. We are going to drink at my place before and meet up with the other two later on. It should be fun. Friday nights are ladies night at most of the bars and clubs, so we're not stuck at one spot. I'm going home and going to take a nap. I didn't sleep well at all alst night. Sam stayed up to watch wrestling and I don't sleep that well with out him to begin with and then my mind was just racing with completly random ideas. It was not a good night, and then I wokr up around 7am and couldn't really get back to sleep, so I just laid there for 2 hours. Yes, I think a nap will do me quite nicely. I called Jody yesterday and asked him about my job, not that I want to work much this weekend, b/c i have alot of work to do, but I was curious to know when I'll be starting. He said that he hadn't been avoiding me or anything, but 2 people had just quit, unexpectedly and he had taken on their work on top of his own. Which is a valid reason for not calling me, but it's not that hard to call Zellers and ask them if the daily gleaner can put up a kiosk there, I'm almost tempted to aske them myself, but I don't know if I'm allowed or if the gleaner sets up a deal with the stores, so i don't want to push my luck,. Well...this has been a large enough blog for me, I think that I'll go eat my lunch and get some reading done......write later...:)

Hey, I'm at school right now, waiting for my Charter class to start in about an hour. Nothing much new going on. We had dinner at Debbie's house on Sunday, it was really nice. Dinner was awesome...*snaps* for debbie. There were so many people who came , there must have been 10-15 people there. I went out with Tasha and Tasha on Saturday. I had alot of fun. We drank at Tasha Robichauds house for awhile, and then went out to a club.It was nice seeing mom, rich and the puppy, but I missed Sam. I brought him home some turkey dinner. Which he enjoyed quite a bit. Last night Sam and I went to see the movie Just like Heaven. We both really liked it. He only has one day off this week. He only worked 2 hours yesterday, but they gave him Saturday off for some reason. They never give him Saturdays off. Weird. Anyway I'm going to go do some reading before class....write later...:)

I'm feeling much better about things recently. I still have a cold of some sort, but other than that I'm feeling pretty good. I handed that proposal in Monday, I have no idea how well I did, but he wouldn't explain to anyone how to do it, so I'm probably no the only one who had trouble. I've finished my library research assignment for my adult courts class. That wasn't due until Friday, but I completed it early. :) I have another one due Monday for my Law and the charter class, but I';m going to go do that tomorrow, so that I can have the weekend off. I'm going to go to SJ Saturday and Mom and Debbie are having turkey dinner at one of their homes, still haven't decided whos', on Sunday or Monday. I think I'm going to invite Tasha to go drinking, b/c every time I talk to her on Saturday she says that she wishes I was in SJ, so we could drink together. I think it will be a nice break from school. Melissa is going to SJ for the weekend too. It will be nice to see her. Anyway I'm going to go get a tea and get some reading done for tomorrow. Write Later :)

I am so stressed out, I'm sick to begin with, I have a really sore throat and I can hardly breathe most of the time and I feel sick to my stomach. I have to do a proposal on a subject for criminology, but my proff hasn't actually explained how to do one, he just showd us an example, like that means something. My friend Nicole in the same class has done a proposal before, so I think I'lll ask her how to do one, if he doens't return my email soon. I also have a research assignment due for my Adult courts class on October 4th, but she hasn't given it to us yet, so I'll only have this weekend to work on that too. She was supposed to give it to the librarian on Tuesday, when we went for our library tour ( which was pointless, b/c we sat in a class room and learned about the online resources, and never actually seen any of the library), but the librarian didn't have anything, which means 1/2 the class may already have it, those who went to the online seminar with her. GRRRR......... I am so happy that I'm not working this weekend, b/c I wouldn't have time to do half of the work that needs to be done, although I'm getting pretty broke and would like to have a pay cheque. Man my friend Jackie is working like 30+ hours a week and going to school full time, I don't know how she does it, *snaps* for Jackie. i do have my adult class next though and I'll ask her for the assignment, maybe she'll be resonable and give us an extension on it for us getting it late, probably not, but hopefully. I got no sleep last night. i just laid awake worrying b/c I ddin't know how to do this proposal and no one else in the class seems to be worried. I have to go to the library tonight or tomorrow or both depending on this assignement. The only good thing that happened today is that my proff said that I could use an American article for my research project, which is great cause I've already found soem articles that are American but thought I couln't use them. But the group that presented their projects today was ALL american, so it's not an issue. And it wasn't even like they were a group or anything, they just read their own separate articles that didn't have anything to do with one another other than being on the same subject. I can probably work on that this weekend too, when I'm not doing the other 2. I called mom last night, Debbie was at the house to and told them about my worries and they both suggested that I a) take some meds for my sickness, and b) have a drink. They probably didn't think that one through to much :) Mom always ssays taht when I'm stressed out or have been working alot, you need a drink, haha. I think I will take her up on that idea tonight though. Anyway gotta go....write later, and thanks for the comment in the previous blog Lisa.

One of my proffs, whom I have every single day, because I'm taking two classes with her, it burnt, no if ands or buts about ti, she's burnt. She gave us an assignment, didn't teach us how to do it, showed us what she wanted in class today, when it was due, and changes the next due date for the other assignment that was going to be due on Thursday. She actually realized that having an assignment due Tuesday and then having another one due two days later wasn't a good idea. She is so wierd. She is an alright proff for my 3rd year Charter class, but is making the 2nd year adult courts class impossibly hard. She said that she wants it to be a 3rd year coure, so she teaches it like one, which is crazy, b/c it's still listed as a second year course. I had a really good workout today. My class this morning ended alittle early, so I got to get to the gym alittle early. It's raining today which busted up my idea to go down to the library to change my password. Sam made some chili for supper, so I don't have to worry about making supper tonight, which is nice. All my courses just seem to be alot more work than any of my other courses have ver been. It's weird. Anyway gotta get some reading done, write later....

Last night Sam and I went to see the movie Lord of War with Nicholas Cage in it. It was a really good movie, based on true events apparently. We both really enjoyed it. We have date nights, last week we went to see the Brothers Grimm, which I must say I was a little disappointed with. Could've waited until it came out on rental. oh well. I have a ridiculous amount of work to do for school today, I'm just putting it off alittle longer, anyway I'll write later it anything exciting happens...:)

I found it!! It turned out that it was at the gym after all. It was Tuesday that I rememebr putting it into my purse. I went to the help desk, the student affairs office, and campus police office to find a student agenda. Not one of them had any. I had to go all the way down to the SUB building to get one, what a pain in the ass that was, i even brought 11 more agenda's up to the help desk to save he next 10-11 people from the trip to the SUB. At least I didn't have my charter class today, we have an online assignment to do, but it isn't open until 12:30pm, adn I don't want to run out of time, I have a class at 1:30pm. I'm just going to do it tomorrow at home. I still haven't heard from Jody about where I'm going to do the Kiosk.I'm really glad that he is getting me a place on this side of the river, but I wish he would keep me up to date with what is going on, or how much time I'll have to wait. Sam has today off, so we get to hang out together finally, I hardly see him, this week he worked 55hrs.I see him alittle while during his split, sometimes, and alittle bit after work, but not any real quality time together. He treated us to a movie last week, The brothers Grimm, so I think I'll treat us to something this week.At least I'll get paid this week, it worked out nice getting all of my commission this pay, and my 19 hours, cause it'll work out to a decent pay. Next class is Classical sociogical Theory. Its an alright class. The proff is Proffessor Clow's wife, I'm, glad that I took her instead of him.He really brings down your GPA. He is so unorganized and then is a really hard marker. His wife I've heard is a fair marker, and is organized. Anyway I'm going to go get another coffee, I've only had one today, well.....two if you count the one I had this morning with Sam, but I didn't even finish it, so I'm not counting it! :) So really....this will only be my second one. Write later...:)

I have no idea what I did with my student I.D, I remeber getting it when I was finished at the gym, and I remember getting it after I paid the registrar for a course book, and then I don't know what happened to it, I usually place it right in my purse after I'm done with it. Oh well, at least I didn't get my new blue cross and student saver card thing yet, so now I only have to pay to get a new I.D. Which is alright, cause the one I had is from two years ago. I have so much reading this year, it's crazy, most proffs have two books or one book and supplementary reading. One of my proffs has two text books and a supplementary reading book. I have to write an analysis/comment about a case this weekend. there is one due tuesday and then another due on thursday. So we'll just find out if we've done the first one right and then have to go write another one immediately after. I'll be glad when the weekend gets here, I"m really tired. Anyway gotta go do slot of reaqding, write later :)

I had two interesting classes yesterday, one proff I've had before, the other is new. The new one tried to scare the class, she was like"this isn't an easy class,blah...blah...blah, and your going to have to work really hard". Evaery single proff says that. My proff this morning seems pretty cool, one of our major assignments is going to be making a webpage, I'm going to call mom and get some tips from her, or if you know anything about it, I'm open to suggestions. I have that new proff for another class today, she'll probably tell us the same stuff. She told us that she is always late for class. That's not very proffessional of her. If a student was late every class they would be penalized. She said the class won't be easy and stuff, but I was going through the outline and it doesn't sound half as hard as she is fortelling, we have an open book final exam.I have 2 classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 3 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.I don't know how I'm going to find time to wrok though, my class doesn't end until 2:20pm on mon, wed, and fri, and 3:50pm on tues, and thursday. Oh well I'll figure something out. Anyway gotta get going, have my second class in 20mins. Write later, and people comment, seriously, just let me know that someone other than me is reading this :)

Tomorrow is the last day of my summer vacation. I start school on Thursday, I have sociology of the family and Adult courts. I'm very excited about some of my professors, they sound really good. (from Jackie and Shannon telling me). Shannon gave me a really nice top, thanks :) , I think I'll wear it on Thursday. And wonderful news, my boss called and I told him about the commission and he'll pay me this pay for it, which will make up for not working this week He called today and told me that he is going to work something out so that I can stay on this side of the river, score! I would have had to quit if he wasn't able to change it for me, it is to far for not enough hours. I like my job enough, I can study for alittle while when it's slow, and set my own hours. I bought all of my books for the first semester today, $368.00, and paid some of my tuition, which went up again. Blah. Stupid school and their raising of tuition. Jackie and I spent the whole day together, it was really nice. We dropped some stuff off at my work, made a new key (mine broke right before I left for the Stones), went to payless, walmart, and then grabbed something to eat before coming home. It was a really enjoyable day. :) Everyone seems to have went to the stones concert! Mom and I seen Shirley (Sue's old friend) there, I guess Melissa wnet, my friend Tasha. Anyway Gotta go, going to paly a game.......comment...

Hey, got back from Moncton around 11am. The concert was awesome!! I'm really glad that I went. The lighting at the end of the concert was great, I really enjoyed it. We didn't go to the concert until about 6pm, we caught some of the hip and the stones, I would have liked to have seen some of the others, but I'm glad that I only had to stand for 5 hours instead of 8. It was to bad that we couldn't leave after we entered the concert. I've gotta call my boss tomorrow to ask him about my pay, I know that I haven't been getting paid right. I don't think that I have recieved my comission for the past 2 pays. I don't want to go to the superstore across the river, I'll have to travel an 30minutes there and 30 minutes home every day, and I'll only be able to worak a little over 2 hours, doesn't seem worth it to me. He said that there are other kiosks in the city, so I'm just going to ask him if I can switch locations with someone. Hopefully I'll be able to. School starts Thursday, I'm excited, but also feeling bad that summer is ending so soon. I think I'm going to go take a nap real soon. Camping was alright, we were really close to magnetic hill, but mom and I didn't sleep at all Friday night, which made us tired all Saturday, we slept better last night, it was colder and the people at the camp site were'nt so loud. I think if I go to another outside concert like that I'll just find a bus and go up and back the same day. Camping is expensive, I paid 40$ at the door, we thought we had already paid for everything, but Richards friend didn't pay for one of us.And the camp site didn't have electricity, like they had told us they would, and they charged 5$ for 6 minute showers. I think a bus will be nice in the future. Anyway going to go take a nap, write later :)

Sally, my dishwasher, works!! I am so relieved. Richard had repaired it but today was the first time that I actually put her on. And she is running beautifully. I am so happy. Work was alittle slow, so that made it even longer than usual, and the fact that I worked an hour more today made it drag even more. But now it's over and I won't have to do it again until tomorrow, so I've got 5 hours today, and alittle while tomorrow morning. I'm very excited about the stones concert. I think it'll be alot of fun, I just wish we didn't have to stay there friday and saturday night, Sam had to take the whole weekend off, and we probably won't get to sleep at all. At least if we were coming home, we could go to bed. Oh well, free drive up and back, I'm going to offer them gas money even though they said they didn't need it. I wish I could find out some info about the concert though, like when it starts, and what order the bands are playing in, if ya know let me know. Anyway gotta go finish cleaning some stuff.........write later....

I fianlly have some music on my computer, I've been really weary about downloading stuff froim the net, so my friend is just sending me music she has downloaded and is virus free. It works out well for everyone, and I finally found out who Maroon 5 are, I've heard them tons of times, but never knew who they were. So now I have some of their stuff too. I guess limewire is a good downloading site. I may try it in the future. I'm getting so exciting about the concert now, it is going to be an awesome lineup of performers. Woohoo.....anyway gotta go make something to eat.....write later :)

I've decided to just ignore this persons attitude, they will either get over it or be bitter, both of which I have no control over, I have already apologized for my part in the argument, but haven't heard back from them at all. My boss went on vacation, which he forgot to tell me, so I've been laving him messages and calling his cell. I'm still down at the superstore. I did really well yesterday, I gave 4 samples and made a $15 subscription, in the last week and a half I've made like 7-9 subscriptions, so my pay will be really good. I get paid Septembver 2nd, so I'll have some money for the stones concert. I'm pretty excited about it, I've bought a flat of beer and some twisty shots. I hope it's not awkward going to the concert with mom and rich, they seemed surprised that Sam and I were each bringing a flat and proceeded to warn me that it's going to be loud and I'm probably not going to sleep. I get the feeeling that they think that I'm a complete moron on how to have fun, just because I don't party every weekeend or haven't done a wack of drugs or something. Anyway I'm going to have a good time, I hope they don't mind or anything, they've been really weird lately. Write later

I feel so sick to my stomach about a simple conversation that I had with someone. The person said something, I told them that it made me uncomfortable, and they are now saying that they won't talk to me about anything ever. I feel so sick about it, well not just sick, upset, angry, and frustrated. Write later....

Hey! I went home for the last couple of days, it was really nice. Mom and I went to a movie yesterday, Red Eye, we both really enjoyed it. It was nice, mom and debbie came and got me on Saturday evening. Mom made a boiled Ham dinner last night, which was very good, and also made us some ham pieces and brown sugar this morning. Very nice. mmmm..... Mom and Richard drove me back up today, Richard fixed my dishwasher and mom fixed my computer, it had been running really slow. It was a very nice last couple of days. Today is mine and Sams date night, we might go out to supper, I think that would be very nice. Jackie and I just decided that we need to get really sloshed sometime before we start school, that should be fun, any way gottaa go change, it's hot today, :)

I went and got my hair cut, it's not exactly what I had in mind, but I can understnd how the hairdresser would have thought this was what I meant the way that I explained it. It's a little shorter than I wanted, but my hair grows fast enough that it will be the length that I wanted in a week or two. I don't know if Sam will like it, really if I put it back in a pony tail and bobby pin my bangs back he won't even know the difference. It's going to be easy enough to figure out how I like it, it'll just take some experimenting with some hair accessories. It's not that my hair is thick, it's just that I'm not using the right products (apparently). I will have to go invest in some good hair products though, maybe some nice shampoo and conditioner, a de-frizzer of some sort, stuff like that. It feels really light though, I like that. Anyway I'm going to go get a snack......write later... :)

Today was a good day, I got three subscriptions and 2 samples, well three, but she subscribed too, so I don't know how that works. I'm there again tomorrow. I was really looking forward to going to the other superstore, but then I checked the bus schedule (which sucks) and it turns out that I'm going to have to travel 45 minutes to get there and then another 45minutes to get home! Ridiculous! I can't waste that much time during the school year, I mean working 4-5 hours 3 days isn't to much, but travelling an hour and a half isn't going to be pleasant. I'm going to ask him how long he wants me to stay there, I've stayed tat this one 2 1/2 months, almost three. I hope he doesn't want me to stay at the other one that long, there are only so many people in Fredericton, and I think I've already got most of the mildly interested ones signed up for something. My Visa is screwed up! It shows that it is taking money from my chequing account to put on my visa, but it is not being accepted or deducted on my visa statement. i'll have to go and check it out on Monday. I thought that it was screwed up, but could only check so far on my account history, now I know it is screwed up. I'm going to go get my hair cut today at 7:45pm, I think I'm going to try bangs again ( I was looking at pictures the other day and seen one from when I had bangs and liked it). My hair is stupidly thick, it's just crazy, there is no need for anyone's hair to be this thick, unless they live somewhere really cold (to keep their head warm ) :) But me? there is no need for the thickness. The girl did a good job thinning it out last time, but when she was drying it she said " your right it is thick, it takes awhile to dry". When a hairdresser realizes that wouldn't you expect them to thin it out a little more? Nope, not her, just kept blowdrying.......anyway thanks for reading my rant about haridressers, wish me luck with the new hairdresser. :)

Today was a very good day to be at the superstore. It seems that people are returning to Fredericton for after their holidays. I seen a wack of people that I had never seen before. I have seen the same 100 or so people about 20 different times now, and they all were saying, " your still here?", so it was a relief to see some new people. I gave away 6 samples, which the highest one day give away in awhile. AND I had 3 people sign up for a subscription, two of which wrote me a cheque or gave a credit card ( I make more money when that happens). The third one asked to be mailed a bill, so I don't know what I get paid for those. Sam and I went to see Wedding Crashers last night, an enjoyable movie, funny. After that we went to Joe's house, I met hsi girlfriend, she was very nice. Some other people me up with us, we all drank beer, and then we went to the Hilltop (it's called twisted Tuesdays-D.J and they stay open later). Overall it was an awesome evening, got some quality time and some time with friends. Tonight we had a nice supper and some free ice cream, a girl that lived in residence with Jackie and I, works there and just gives us freee stuff. She gave me and Jackie the slushy, me an ice cream, and Sam and I an ce cream. Her boss isn't to bright. Anywhoo gonna go finished my oh so free ice cream.....mmmm.........free....ice..... :)

Hey, Sams parents came up to visit yesterday. I worked and didn't get home until 5:45pm, then I ate some supper Sam had made and went to the mall with Jackie. I barely seen them. I didn't get home until 8:30/9pm., and went to bed early at 10:30pm. They drove Sam to work this morning and were gone by 10am. I barely seen them. Sam only worked until 4pm, so it was a good day for them to come to visit him. They've come to visit before, and he's been at work all day, not much of a visit. I still don't know if he invited them or if they told him they were coming to visit, but it worked out well anyway. We went to walmart and I seen an air mattress that lifts of of the ground on steal legs that Mom and Rich had been looking at for $170 , but at Walmart it was only $80, so I put it on layaway for them. They are going to go camping next weekend to test out the camping gear they bought, but have never used,they are dropping the puppy off Friday and picking her up on Sunday. I think that will be nice, she is a nice little dog. Anyway gonna go make some lunch, write later....

Hey I got home from sj about 4pm, but went down to the passport place with Lisa and Anthony before I called Jody, he told me I didn't have to work today, so I'm just going to work 7 hours tomorrow, Friday and Saturday to make up for missing the hours today. I guess they are really happy with the amount of samples that I'm giving away and want me at the superstore for ANOTHER week, blah. Then they want to move me to the superstore across the river instead of Kents. I don't think I'll mind that to much, but the people at the downtown superstore are not taking any more samples. I'm so freaking sad, my dishwasher hose and thing that attaches to the faucet fell and broke, (a piece popped out from the inside). I threw it out not really realizing what it was at the time , kinda thinking it had something to do with the dishwasher (which is why I feel so stupid). Now my dishwasher will run, but no water gets into it, so it doesn't work because of this one little piece I threw out. While I was at home I looked everywhere I could to find this little piece, even the Sears waarehouse, the woman there wouldn't listen to what I was trying to tell her and was no help to me. I went to the used place uptown, but they didn't have what I needed either, but were much more helpful. We also went to a place on the off of Manawogonish road, and they wanted $25 dollars for the new hose and piece, which would be great, but I wasn't sure if it was the exact same one as the one I needed, and I only paid $50 for the dishwasher in the first place, so paying $25 for a piece that MIGHT fit wasn't to appealing. When I got home Sam had the apartment all neat and tidy, which I appreciated greatly (thanks Hun). He thought he had fixed it because he had found a piece, I was exstatic, but it turned not to be the right piece. So now I still don't have a dishwasher that works, Pat, my landlady is callling her repair man to ask if he knows anything about it, and is going to ask the repair guy for the building to have a look at my dishwasher as well as my sink handle (the reason he is coming) Anyway I hope everything works out well enough........write later... :(

Today was so long and slow at work that I decided to leave at 4:15pm instead of 5:15pm, I'll just work an extra hour tomorrow, it's usually busier on Saturdays. I was glad to get home early though, I haven't been feeling to good today. I got paid today and I think I got paid less than my last pay, even though I worked more hours this pay period. I suppose though, I haven't given out as many samples or subscriptions this time. Oh well, it works out well enough. I start at Kents next week (hopefully), my boss is kinda slack about getting things done for the kiosk department. I went into the office the other day to drop some samples off and asked if I could pick up my pay stubs, the girl that I asked went out back and asked Jody (my boss) and came back and told me that he would look for them and drop down the superstore to give me them later. He never came. I'm going to SJ this Sunday and coming back up Wednesday around 2-2:30pm, I hope I can get a hold of him before I leave to find out if the kents thing is a go and whether or not he is going to meet me there. I think I'll go call him now and ask him about it. Write later ...... :)

I don't know why my posts appear so far down on the page. Hmm.....strange.....Anyway I thought that I was going to Kents this week and was completely finished with the superstore. That was what Jody had told me Friday when I dropped off the samples. I don't want to be there anymore. The clientelle thaat was interested in subscribing or getting samples has run out. I've seen the same people so often that they are beginning to say " oh your still?", same with the staff, they realize I've been there long enough. I bought a nice Queen comforter at Zellers for $20. (Thanks for letting me know about the sale Jackie). Anyway I'm going to figure out what we're having for supper. Write later......

Time is going by so freaking fast these days. One minute it was the beginning of the summer and the next thing a person knows summer is coming to an end. I'm getting excited about starting school again though. My courses are pretty cool this year because I 'm taking lots of Criminology courses to make up for not taking any last year. I've got, Adult courts, historical reactions(crim), criminal law and the charter, young offenders and the juvenile justice system, and lots more. I've already taken a human rights course, so studying the caharter some more will be interesting, I really enjoyed human rights. I was just looking at my schedule and I noticed that I have an hour and forty minutes in between my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which is really good, b/c I'll have lots of time to go to the gym, shower, and get ready for my next class. I'm down my classes at 2:20pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so I'll just go after classes on mondays and Wednesdays. It's all rainy up here today, which is unusual for Fredericton, it usually rains at night and gets sunny in the morning. I like it. :) I Anyway I'm going to go watch a movie or something woth the puppy before I make supper.....write later......comment

Geez, I completely forgot about updating until I checked my comments. I finished Harrry Potter last night, what an unexpected twist. Work has been slow, but easy enough. He still seems to be happy with my work, so I'm not complaining. The puppy is up at my place visiting. I'm not to sure when she is going to go home, Pat hasn't asked, so I'm not pushing the question. The people at work love Gizmo, she comes for the walk with me in the mornings to drop off any new subscriptions that I get. I can't believe it is the end of July already. Summer will be over too soon, then it is back to school, with the tests, essays and presentations. Oh well at least I'm half way done now, and at least I have some coureses that sound interesting next year. First and second year of University are totally about fulfilling stupid requirements. At leat in third and fourth years it's about working toward the major and/or minor your interested in. BTW if I haven't mentioned it I am majoring in Sociology and minoring in Criminology. I'm going to take some human resource courses after I graduate and I'm going to try and get my CPR and first aid this year. Anywhoo gotta go take Gizmo for a walk, she's been in all day ( I don't know if Sam took her out for a walk when he came home when he was on his split) and it has finally cooled down enough to walk somewhere. Write later :)

Things have been alot easier since getting permission to leave the stupid box thing at the superstore. I got paid this morning, not bad for under 40 hours. My next one will be more because I've been working more and I've given away lots more samples and even gotten a few subscriptions. It's really boring, but not hard, I guess you can't have everything. I came home to all the laundry being done, I'll have to give Sam lots of kisses later for doing the laundry. I really should vacuum, but I just really don't feel like running the vacuum in this heat. We are going to rent a movie tonight, any suggestions? I think that I've been doing a good job at the kiosk casue my boss said that we finally got approved for a new kiosk, I just started, so they must have been trying for alittle while. oh, by the way I was looking through past comments, and I noticed one about Cendant, and it being the soul sucking employer that it is, who is Guy, and how do I know you? I bought a nice sleeping bag yesterday at the superstore for when we go to the Stones concert. I keep forgettting to mention that I need the time off for that. *note to self, write a reminder note*. I reserved the sixth Harry Potter book the other day, I'm very excited to start reading it. Chapters is staying open until 12am-2am Thursday night/Friday morning, so that they can release it. Write Later :)

I have Friday off, so I've been working alittle longer each day to make up for the day that I will miss. I worked 6 3/4 hours yesterday, and 5 3/4 today. My kiosk is such a horrible shape, a big rectangular box, I puty wheels onit, which help, but is stupidly awkward. Anyway I didn't get much sleep last night, well was woken up really early ( the city is digging up the street directly in front of my apartment), I was on my way to the bus stop for the 11:48am bus, but seen it drive out while I was still down the street, after having the box trip me, hit me, and generally disappoint me, I threw it on the ground and KICKED it. I really kicked it too. I have been lugging this thing to and from the super store twice a day, 4 days a week , for two weeks, and I finally cracked. I was so freaking tired, I started crying, I went in the store, still lugging this awkward box, and sat on a bench and cried for alittle while, pulled myself together finally, and called a cab. I got there, set up and waited. I stood there for almost 3 hours before someone signed up for a sample. Although at one point an older man stopped and said " can I ask you a question?" I told him sure, and he asked me if I knew where the first donut had been made, I said no, and he said " in Greece". It was a cute little joke, and it brightened my day alittle. I ended up getting 9 samples given away, 6 of them in the last hour and a half. I asked customere service if it was ok if I left the box there, and he let me, so now I don't have to deal with lugging it anywhere. I feel better now, I don't work tomorrow, I'm hanging out with Jackie for Canada day. I think I'll give her a call now.......write later

Hey, we went out to Vito's to eat.It was very nice. Lisa and Anthony joined mom, Richard and I. The puppy came up with us on Monday, it's so nice having her here for company. I'm very happy that I only work 4 days a week and that I have 3 days, in a row, off. It makes it easier to plan things. I hope he gives me some more things to promote, other than just giving away free samples. It gets kind of boring after standing there for an hour and the only people who are stopping already have subscriptions. Why would you stop at a kiosk to ask "oh what are you promoting?", when you already have the only product that the company sells. Some people expect me to have papers right there, on hand to give away. Silly people. I work tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Anyway I'm going to go make something to eat, write later....

Hey, I think I was being a bit hasty in saying that I wouldn't work at the kiosk. Really, I can be available to work anything that she wants me to, I make my own hours with the Daily Gleaner. If I worked 9am-4:30pm, like she wants me to, I can still go downtown and work at the superstore for a couple of hours. He said that I could work as much as or as little as I liked. If it's not to busy he said that I can go for walks around the store for a break, or what ever, So I think I will call Leanette at the kiosk, ask her if the job is still available, crossing my fingers, and if it is, I can just work around that schedule, I'm not doing th in home calling by the way, it doesn't pay enough and is very depressing. Keep your fingers crossed for me.....write later...

Hey, I started the kiosk job down at the superstore on Smythe street. I took the bus there both yesterday and today, but I missed the bus I was going to catch on the way home and had to take a cab home again. The kiosk place didn't call me back. I don't know if I want to work there anyway, she pretty much implied at my interview that she wanted me to quit my job now, so that I would be available 24/7 for her, but then would only give me 10-16 hours per week. Which by all standards, is ridiculous. I don't have all of my stuff yet (I'll be getting gift certificates for the superstore, as an incentive for getting a subscription), which I think would make it easier and more interesting to do. Right now I'm pretty bored. I make my hourly, plus different comissions for different things. I hope it gets better, but at least it's not an all year thing anyway, so I only have to do it for so long. I do like having three days in a row off, I'm going home Saturday night, to SJ, and we're going to stay a couple of days. I' going to take Richard and mom out to eat for fathers day, or if we can get any reservations that is. Anywhoo I'm going to go get some ice cream....write later......

I think and am pretty sure that I got the job at the kiosk. She said that shge would call me by the end of the week. I think that is just to look over the schedules of the other people that work there to see what's going to work out best. I called Jody, my boss at the Daily Gleaner to ask him if I would be able to work my schedule so that I could have August 16-19 off. He said that if I have other obligations, there is no problem working around them. I think I'm going to go do some more calls so that I can get my quota done. I already have 9 out of the 25 I need. He said a little over or under 25. At the lotto kiosk in the fredericton mall the hours would be 10-16hours per week. Really working the 3 jobs will only be like working 1 full time. I'll work 15-20 at the Gleaner, 10-16 at the lotto, and then 2-5 at the in home calls. Really that will just keep me busy all summer and into the school year. I really like my boss at the Gleaner, he is really laid back about stuff, and the hours that I will work. Anyway I'm going to wait to see if the kiosk calls. Write late..... :)

Hey, I just returned a call to the lotto kiosk at the Fredericton mall. I go for an interview at 2pm.
The lady that works there seems very nice. I figure, I can work all day Sunday, some on Monday and Tuesday adn see if she'll work around my schedule for Wed- Sat. Then in between Those two jobs I will do the in home call sales thing, that is only an hour a night. I did a little over an hour last night and I made 9 sample give aways. The mall is only open from 12pm-5pm on Sunday, so I could work for two hours in that one night and make probably half of my quota, then just do the others when I have extra time. I hope I get the job at the lotto kiosk, cause with the one that I do now, I have to travel way downtown and lug the cardboard kiok thing with me. The one in the mall would be good during the school year, and I don't think the one for the paper is yearround. Wish me luck :) Write Later

I just called to check and make sure that my phone number had been changed so that it comes up as private or unknown , cause I went and changed it Friday at an aliant kiosk, and found out that there is nothing about my number being private oir anything on the account. That means that the 100 or so people that I just called all have my name and phone number. I did it on Friday so that it would be ready on Monday. Stupid, useless kiosk guy. Grr.... oh well not much i can do about that now, stupid.....no good.....kiosk....grr...

Hey, I went and picked up my packages for work today. I just spent an hour doing some calls out to people. It wasn't that hard, I'm giving away free 2 week subscriptions at this point. I made 6 in an hour. It pays more, the more samples that you give away. I do the kiosk thing on Thursday at 3:30pm, there are no buses that run any time near or around 3:oopm. I would have to take a bus and get there an hour and a half early. I think I'll just walk down, it's all down hill. Anyway going to go do a few more calls, write later... :)

I have a Job!! WOOHOO!! I now am an employee for the Daily Gleaner. I will work 4 days a week for 4-5 hours at a kiosk for 9-10$ an hour plus commission and will work from home offering newspaper subscriptions and two week samples over the phone to people in Fredericton, No Long distance. They will give me a list of names and I can call as many or as few as I like. I only have to work a couple hours a night for a couple days a week. It's all commission too. I just read a one-two minute script and see what people think, if they subscribe I make $7-$8. This is great, it'll be something that I can do during the school year too. i pick up my packages of info Monday and I start the Kiosk thing on Thursday. The guy said that the hours for the kiosk were very flexible, if I want to work 1-5 or 12-4 choose what hours I feel are best to get subscriptions. Feeling Great, write later....:)

I haven't heard back from either Cendaant or the baggae place, so I searched for some jobs again today. I called the Daily Gleaner, local newspaper, and I have an interview this afternoon at 2pm to work at a kiosk that moves around the city I guess. One month/week at the superstore, then kents, etc. I'll be making new subscriptions. Hopefully this one pays dencently though. I'll write later with the details about the job. :)

I went to an interview at that baggage kiosk thing today. They only pay minimum wage. She'll let me know if I have to job by Friday or earlier. I hope something else comes up. I applied at a whole wack of other places in the mall, Suzy shier, another kiosk thing and at the fredericton mall at sobeys, some old lady store, the lotto booth, and Zellers. I hope I get on at sobeys, they pay pretty good and my friend shannon works there, not right now, but in the winter. Anyway I'm going to listen to an information thingy on the phone about working from home for a company, the girl called me from California, I think it was the one that was in the newspaper. Write later....

I haven't heard back from Cendant yet, but I'm still looking for a different job. I went to the mall yesterday to see if I could return some pants (I couldn't-no reciept) and I dropped off a resume at a jewelry kiosk place and a bag and luggage kiosk thing. I have an interview Tuesday at 1pm at the bag/luggage place. It's only part time, but I'll just get another job for the summer and quit and do the one I like best in the winter. I've heard that the kiosk places pay well, I hope it's true. I forgot to mention that I'm going to see the Rolling stones and the tragically hip in september. Sam and I wanted to go somewhere this summer, and Tammy called richard and asked if he wanted tickets, so I told him to get sam and I some too. Worked out nicely. Today is a lazy day, I just can't muster up enough energy to do anything. I probably should start taking my vitamins again. I have been eating very healthily lately. Lots of salads, and fruit, except for those peanut butter butterscotch chip cookies yesterday, I've been eating very well. Sam's mom, dad, sister, and cassidy are all coming up on Monday. They are only going to stay up for the day though, we are making a seafood chowder tonight and having it tomorrow when they come. They kind of invited themselves up according to Sam. I really hope that they aren't thinking that, because they have a car now, our apartment is their new summer vacation spot or something. I would not be to impressed if they started coming up every weekend, uninvited. Grr....oh well I'll deal with that if it happens, gotta go make something to eat now........write later.

Hey ! I had my interview today, I think it went very well. The only thing would be that I would probably have to work until 4:30am. The girl interviewing me said that it wasn't absolute, but a definite probablility. The cabs are much cheaper here, so it'll cost me about half of what I paid last summer. It doesn't start until June 13 or 16 I think she said, so I'll keep looking during that period. Hopefully something else will turn up, but this would pay $8.70 + $.36 for every transfer, so it wouldn't take much to get to $10-$12 an hour. I figure that if it turns out that I do work until 4:30am, I'd get home around 5am, stay awake for alittle while , and just make sure that I force myself to wake up around 12-12:30pm every day. I think why I do anything else in the day time last year was because I didn't make myself get up, I just lazed around in bed all day and it made me sluggish. I think I'll do better with it this summer. Oh yeah they lost my application form, so I had to fill another one out again, but I was super nice about it, I said"oh it's Friday anyway, things always get misplaced, it's not a big deal, I can fill another one out." I was very positive and had a great attitude during the whole thing. Anyway wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed for me

Today was a sad day in the history of Krista. I finally cracked. There are no decent jobs in this city, and none of them pay good, so I called Cendant back to re-schedule my interview. They good pay was far to tempting. Really I can do it for a couple months and still look for another job. Hopefully I'll draw an early shift when I get to draw, if not oh well, it' s only for the summer. I would still have two days off in a row and I can still look for other employment while I work there. I already did the training, I'll have to do it again, but that's alright because it will just be a review for me. I'm pretty sure they will hire me, I got a 96.5% on the typing test. Wish me luck, my interview is tomorrow at 10:30am.

Hey I just got back from visiting mom and richard in SJ alittle while ago. I helped mom and rich paint the living room and kitchen and tear down that horrible wall paper in the diningroom. It looks great! It will look even better when they finish the diningroom and the bathroom. The jobs in fredericton suck, they all pay shitty or they are on brookside. Nothing looks to hopeful, I found this international broadcast alliance thing, where you make toll free calls and leave messages, you can make $375 a week, but it doesn't say how many calls that is, and you have to send 35$. Anyway I'm going to go take a bath....all my muscles are aching from painting. write later....

I guess that I didn't get a job there yet. It was just an info session and typing test. I have an interview on Monday. grrr..... AND I don't have seniority at this one. The one in SJ goes by seniority, but not this one. Which means that I would have to work shitty hours again, unless I drew number 1 or 2 in putting dibs on my hours. This sucks!! I came home and called a guy about a kiosk job. They pay good and all I would have to do is sit at a table thingy. Easy enough. He is going to call me Monday b/c he is in meetings right now. At least I'll look eager, it just came out today in the paper. The girl on the phone said that she had reviewed my resume and past info and that I was eligable for re-hire....I figured that that meant that I was hired. She said that she didn't want to go into to many details becaus eI would get all the information I needed at the information session. I am not going to work nights again....I had no life last summer. I slept, worked, ate sometimes, and that was it. I'm not doing that again. I hope this new kiosk thing works out. Write later....

I got a call from Cendant this morning. I got a job there!! The girl on the phone didn't tell me to much about the position, but I go to orientation tomorrow. There was a guy in my orientation class last summer, and I only seen him on test days, so I think thatI get first choice of hours out of the other temps. I have seniority!! Woohoo!! I have to be there for 9am, but orientation is only an hour, so I still willl have the rest of my day left. I think I am going to check out the Brookside mall while I'm over there. Cendant is attached to the mall. I'm going to take a cab over and the bus back. I don't have to pay anything for the bus, just show them my student I.D and STU has some type of arrangement with the goverfnment. I'll write tomorrow and let you know what my hours will be and any other interesting info.....

Tomorrow is my last day at the Hilltop!! Woohoo!! I got home friday and there was a message from Cendant on the phone for me, so I'm going to call on Monday to see what they wanted, hopefully to hire me. I have already decided that I don't want to work nights, so that isn't going to happen this year. I think that I get more choice over my hours than I did last year b/c during training last summer there was a guy who was returning and I only seen hime on orientation day. I think he got to work days. I'm hoping that I can work something that will work around the bus schedule. Anyway I'm going to call and see. Sams parents came up to visit today. They got here really early, Sam and I were just getting out of bed when the phone rang, letting us know they were here.He then left to go to work, and John, Barb, Cassidy and I went over to Zellers. We also took a trip to Odell park, which is closer to the apartment than I had thought. It is really nice at the park, kind of like the irving nature park. Anyway I'm going to go take the puppy for a walk.....write later....comment!!

I have had no luck in the job department. All the jobs are either working in a restaurant,which I'm not doing, or don't pay enough. I'm not super worried about it though, I'm sure something will open up. Maybe a call center that is closerr to me will have job openings. I would much rather work on this side of the river than driving 45 minutes to get to Cendant. I didn't realize it, but Cendant is actually part of the Brookside mall. Which would make things easier when getting the bus. I'm still very happy about giving my resignation at the Hilltop. I worked Sunday like always, but at least I'll get time and a half for it, I think. And Cathy was there to help me, it was really busy in the morning, 120 people, but the evening one was only 93. Anyway gotta go look on the job sites, any suggestions for job sites that are good would be appreciated. :)

Hey, I gave my 2 weeks notice today. It is a huge relief knowing that I only have to work 4 more shifts. I applied at Cendant a yesterday and recieved an email notifying me that they recieved my resume. I found out that the bus runs pretty close to cendant and would only take me 45 minutes, same as in SJ. AND the great news that cabs are only $6.50 from across the river to way up here on Priestman. I was so happy to learn this. That's why I hadn't applied before, b/c I thought the cabs would be $30 or more. I hope that I hear back from them soon, well at least within the next two weeks. Sam is doing great at Keystones. They have taken all of his suggestions about cooking, and they want to give him full time hours for the end of this month. They also want him to go to Moncton this Monday with the head cook to represent keystones at a cooking conference. He's doing great there!! The manager has told him that she is really impressed with him. Anyway gonna go look online at the job sites........:)

I do not want to work at connect north america!! You don't actually get paid $9.35, like advertised, you get $7.27 for the first 200 hours, and then you are reimbersed the $2.08 for the 200 hours. Then after the 200 hours you start getting paid the $9.35. What a rip off!! It's inbound too. I don't think I could handle that, it's frustrating enough trying to get sales when people are calling you, I don't even want to think about how hard it would be when your harrassing them. I went and applied at Zellers and the Wicker emporium when I got home. Hopefully the Wicker place hires me, it doesn't get busy in there and diesn't look to hard. I am so disappointed, nothing pays any good in Fredericton, well except Cendant and that's starting to look better and better. Which really saddens me, Cendant is looking good. Anyway gotta go search jobs......:(

I just got a call back from Connect North America. I have an interview tomorrow morning at 10:30am. The shifts would be 4pm-11pm. I had applied for any day shifts that they had, but I really just didn't want to end up working until 2am like last summer. I wouldn't mind working until 11pm though. I would still have my whole day to do stuff and I would get off early enough top go out. I really hope that they give me the job, so that I can go right into the Hilltop and give my two weeks notice. I know that another cook they have can cover the buffet until they find someone new, cause she covered a saturday shift for Cathy before. I was just looking at the bus schedule and it doesn't run past 10:30pm though. I don't care cause I'll just walk home or take a cab. I took cabs home all last summer, at least they are cheaper here. The girl on thephone also said that I could possibly transfer to day shifts after alittle while. I don't care as long as I can have something to go to after the Hilltop. Wish me luck!! :)

I applied online for a connect north america job downtown. I really hope that I get it soon so that I can quit working at the Hilltop. I hate that job and I really don't want to cover the full week when she goes on vacation. I would have to go on stress leave afterwards. I wouldn't make it. I figure I'll work at a call center this summer and just look for part time employment afterwards. I guess Cendant called mom in SJ and asked her if I wanted a job witht them again this summer. Thats encouraging. I would work at the on in freddy but its across the river and would take me an hour to an hour and a halfg to get there, work 8+ hours and then an hour or more to get home. No thanks. Thats assuming that I can catch the bus right when I need it and right after I'm done work. Sam and I are having a yummy pizza tonight. "Have I mentioned that I hate my job? Well I do. Very Much. Anyway gonna go eat supper. Comment!!

I had a nice time in SJ visiting mom and the puppy. I got back yesterday before work. I hate that job, I'm going to apply for a position as a housekeeper at the Lakeview Inn. It pays decently and it's only for 25 hours a week. I asked Rambo when Cathy is taking her vacation, and she hasn't even told him yet. I was thinking about waiting until after she took her first weeks vacation before finding another job, but if she doesn't even know, I can't wait around for her. They will just have to give me good notice, or get someone else to do some of it also. Sam and I wen tout last night, it was alright, but got packed pretty quick so we left, after I had got turrned away at the door and took a cab home and back down to the bar cause I had forgot my ID. I forgot how tight they are in this city about having ID's.This morning Sam and I went and got groceries. They had some pretty good deals on cross rib steaks, so we picked some up. I was cleaning out the freezer to make room for them, I really didn't realize how much food we have. We bought Ice cream too. I bought some mini cheese cake when I was in SJ and I think it will be a nice combo. Anyway,..... Write Later.

It's really nice out today too. While I was at worok yesterday Sam and the puppy walked all the way downtown and back. She got a really great walk. I had been worrieed that he would jus tsit here and play nintendo all day, but he surprised me, wonderful. Anyway I though tmy exam was at 4pm, but it is actually at 2pm. I only checked because Jackie said "wow, that's a weird time to have an exam" and I thought yeah that is kinda weird. I handed both my take home exams in today, Sam, the puppy and I walked to school and dropped them off. Then went and had lunch at mcdonalds. I had the ranch bacon salad, it was really good. Jackie called me and invited me to go have dinner with her at pondorosa, she works there so we'll get a discount. Then I'm coming home and studying for the evening and I'll get up relatively early and study some more tomorrow. But I've decided that I'm not going to study too hard, cause even if I do really well or moderately good, I'm still going to come out with a B or B+, so I'm not going to stress myself out. Anyway gotta start studying before supper......write later...

It is so sunny in Fredericton today! It's beautiful. I'm going to take the puppy for a nice walk somewhere soon. Sam took me out to breakfast this morning at the Coffee Mill. It was very good, we both had steak and eggs. I only have to work on my take homes alittle, study for my philosphy exam a little today, I'm going to really study for it Monday and Tuesday morning, b/c it's not until 4pm. Mom bought Gizmo a soft squeeky ball to have for here. Well didn't she rip a whole in it and start rippping out the fluffy filling. It is everywhere!! I really have to vaccuum now. Write later......:)

I was just looking at my grades for my human rights class and it turns out that my proff randomly gave me .5% more on my last test. It's great because it was only out of 15%, so adding .5% actually brings me up 3 points out of 100%. I have no idea why he changed it, its not like he was looking over it and found a mark that he added wrong or anything cause I have the test at home with me. I don't care why he did it, but its pretty awesome that he did. He's a really good proff, only part time, and doesn't teach much, but he is really good. I wish he taught something that I could take next year, but I need all my credit hours. The take home exam for his class wasn't to hard either, I wrote that yesterday. Also it sayd at the end of our course sylibis that he can give 5% extra at the end of your final grade to reward consistent attendance and participation. I think I've done well in both of those areas, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Anyway I've gotta go write my soc take home now. Write later.....

I feel like crap......mom came up yesterday and delivered the puppy to us, she spent the night. It was very nice. We went to see the movie Guess Who with Bernie Mac and Ashton. It was very funny. I called in sick at work today though. I guess my boss said(at the last staff meeting, that I missed-school) that we have to bring doctors notes in for sick days. I am not going to go sit up at the emergency room for 7 hours or more to get a doctor to tell me in writing that I'm sick, I already know that. I don't think the medical clinic is open either, so I have no options. Oh well. I really could've used the money, so why would I call in sick if I wasn't. I'll explain that to him, hopefully he'll understand. I am so freaking happy that school is finally done. I have to write two take home exams, which is going to take alot of time, and then I write one on the 19th, but I'm not to worried about that one. Anyway I'm going to go lay down......write later....

Tomorrow is the last day of classes until my one exam!! This year went so fast, I'm already done my second year of university. I got my Sociology take home yesterday, doesn't look to hard....three essay questions though, so it'll take a while to write up. I got my human rights take home today, again essays, but at least it's interpreting the course materials, and I've read everything already, so it won't be to hard. They're both due April 18th. That's a Monday. I have my philosophy exam on April 14th, that's going to be rough. I hate philosophy, but I needed it to fill my group A requirements. I swore to myself last year that I would never take philosophy again......grrr.....stupid requirements. Anywhoo I've decided that I'm not going to look for another job right away. I think I'll take the rest of April off, sstill work at the hilltop, but won't look for another job. Cause I was thinking about it and I didn't start work last summer until the last week in May and then I quit the second week of August and I still made my tuition. So if I add the extra month in there this summer I think i should be able to make my tuition, even if I do get paid a little less. Anyway I'm going to go get some lunch......write later...

Sam got to work yesterday and Rambo, our boss, put him back on dishes cause he's the fastest doing them. They still hadn't given Sam his raise for becoming a cook and now they wanted him to do dishes part time and cooking part time. Sam was not impressed with this, so he called Mikes restaurant to do a follow up, his interview had been last wednesday. They said it was great that he had called, they wanted to hire him , had lost his resume and were about to call the Hilltop this evening. He starts Wednesday at 7am. He'll be full time and be making much better money than at the hilltop. I'm very happy for him. He's not going to give them much notice though, because our friend Tammy gave them 3 weeks notice and they took her off the schedule completely. She would have been screwed if she didn't have an income tax return coming in. Anyway gotta work on a couple of essays. Write later.......woohoo....only 4 days of classes left!! :)

Hello!!!! I got my research methods exam back today, I thought that I probaby didn't do as well as some of the other people in my class because I had handwritten it. Most of the other people in my class I noticed had typed it. I had figured that the proffs would prefer it hand written, so that they would know you didn't just copy and paste answers. Anyway I got it back today and it turns out i was worried for nothing. I got an A-. That exam is worth 30% of our final grade to. I have to work on my hypothesis' and theory a little, but I think it will work out alright. This part is only worth 15% anyway. I am so freaking happy that school is almost over, all I have left to do is 2 more take home exams and one sit down philosophy exam. I don't think that I will do that great on philosophy though, I heard the proff gives insane exams from the people around me. Alot of quotes, and you have to tell him who said it in what book. BLAH. Oh well, one out of five isn't bad. I have to work on my human rights essays now, write later...........

I got to work Sunday and decided that I couldn't quit, it pays my rent in the winter during school. I did however tell my boss that I don't want to be responsable for anything more than Friday night and Sundays, and whenever Cathy decides to go on vacation. I'm just going to look for another part time job. I'm going to apply at Blockbuster, cause they are hiring and it is right next door. I'll also apply at the bentley and shopppers in the Fredericton mall. I got sent home early from work yesterday, at 3pm, so Sam and I decided to have a ham dinner, it was very nice, Sam cooked while I searched for jobs. I can't find my resume anywhere, I've searched all my files on my computer and the disk that it was supposed to be on is not formatted or something.

Hello!! I have made the GREAT decision to quit working at the Hilltop. This decision came as the result of working Good Friday (it was bound to happen anyway though). The people at the restaurant, employees, customers, and most of all wait staff don't realize that I am only one person, and I don't need 3 customers, and 2-3 wait staff to tell me something has run out. I ordered it 10 minutes ago it takes 15. The buffet started at 5pm, about 20 people rushed up and started filling their plates, grrr....., so everything was out in 3 minutes, but it takes 15 to cook, so even though I oredered the stuff right away, I had to listen to person after person tell me " did you know there is no more of this?" YESS......I certainly did, but thank you!!!! So now I am actively looking for a new job, but aI can't find my resume anywhere, not on my computer and the disk that has it says that it isn't formatted or something and won't open. Mom is going to look on her computer to see if she has one. Anyway I'm going to go make a cup of tea and get ready for bed. Hopefully my day will be a little nicer now that I have the knowledge that I am not going to be there much longer. Woohoo!!

Today I handed in my research methods take home exam. I have no idea how well I did on it. The questions were so random, and it took me so long to find the answers to any of the questions. One question told us to read the article by Silverman and give an analysis of it. It was a handout, and didn't have the authors name on it. A couple of people in my class said that they didn't even do it. I wrote her an email to clarify. She better be pretty lenient with the marking, some of the stuff she asked us to do, wasn't possible. Oh well, only 2 classes left. I have her for a class next year, I'm going to see what my final grade is, and possibly change the proff if I can. I got an essay back in human rights the other day. I got an A. I think I'll come out of that class with an A, I don't think I've ever got anything less. He's a good proff, very clear about what he expects. I think I'll see what courses he teaches next year, maybe switch some of my current ones. Although I do have some interesting classes next year. Adult courts, corrections, victimology, soc of the family, criminal law and the Canadian charter. I'm glad that I'm doing a minor in criminology. I found it really interesting last year.

Hey!! This week went by very fast. Jackie and I didn't go out last night, which was just as well, I got alot of work done on my philosophy essay. I think we are going out tonight to celebrate St. Patricks day. I have to call her to make plans. School is almost over. I'll be happy when it's finished, It feels like it was supposed to end after March break. I think I'm going to apply for a job at a kiosk in the mall. The hilltop only gaurantees me Friday night and Sundays, I'll need more than that. He said that I'll be working for 2 weeks straight when Cathy goes on her vacation, the hell I am! If he can only guarantee me twice a week and 2 weeks this summer, screw that. Oh, he said that I might be able to pick up some extra shifts as a dessert girl or hostess, but that's only if they want to give me their shifts. Whatever. I'm only obligated for twice a week. I'll see when the kiosk job is supposed to start. Anyway I'm going to go work on my essay. Write later.....

Hey, today was very good, it went by fast. I set my alarm for pm instead of am, so I didn't wake up until 8:30am, when I'm supposed to start work, and fan there. I got there about 15min late. I still got everything done though, and I had alot to do. Cathy didn't have much done for me today. Nothing was filled and the lettuce wasn't cut up, she is such a hypocrite. My boss told me that I have to work on my spped, b/c of last week, I told him about the stupid people showing up 5 minutes before the buffet closes, and then the waitress letting them get the buffet......grr.....and he seemed to understand why it took me longer. So, tonight it was slow and he told me to start tearing it down 15 minutes before it was supposed to end. Woohoo for avoiding the stupid people!!:) I did it all in an hour, the time he expects, so I was home by 9pm. It was very nice. We have Wednesday off, so Jackie and I have decided to go out somewhere on Tuesday. It should be fun. Anyway I'm gonna get to bed......

Today was such a long day. The morning always goes by fast, just cause I'm so busy, and was even busier this morning. Cathy wanted Saturday off, so she got one of the cooks to cover the buffet for her. She obviously didn't explain anything to Patrice, because nothing was done when I got there, not restocked, vege's weren't prepared, nothing. So I did it all this morning, but I still got done a little early. I'm going to Saint John tomorrow with the puppy. We'll have to make sure we take her for a really long walk before we go in the car. I called mom to ask her where the ferry was and it's apparently not that far from the house. Jackie is going home on Thursday also, and instead of her hanging out at the ferry, she can just come back to the house and wait until we catch the bus or somene drives us up. I'll call her tomorrow to ask about the times that the ferry gets in. My eye appointment is for 8am, so I don't think that will matter, I doubt the ferry gets in super early. Anyway I'm going to get some warm milk and go to bed, I'm beat.

Today I got up and it was super snowy out, so I called the cancelation line and listened to 9-10 cancalled classes and then I heard that mine was also cancelled. Woohoo!! The electrician is going to come some time this afternoon too. Our fuses have been blowing left and right. Yesterday the same fuse blew twice. I think it's a problem with the main electric line that goes through here. So finally after the repair guy that fixes stuff at all the apartments had come 3-4 times , Pat decided that it was a job for a real electrician. The same thing happpened with our toillet. The apartment guy came 3 times and finally the plumber came. I hope that it doesn't take to long. I was just looking at the weather network.com and it's supposed to snow for the next couple of days. Maybe I won't have class tomorrow either. (wishful thinking). Anyway I'm going to go bake some cookies....write later :)

We just bought a slipcover for our couch. They were on sale at Zellers. It's a beige cover and then we bought some cute navy blue accent pillows for the corners. I think it looks much better, and it's not permanent, we can always take it off and try new colors. I called mom today to tell her about the sale at Zellers, cause she had wanted a slipcover, she had justfinished putting hers on when I called, she said that she was going to tell me about the sale too. I just sent her a picture of it.I love digital camera's. If you'd like to see, let me know and I'll send it to you. Anyway, schools going well, still liking my subjects. I'm going to go read some Hegel for philosophy and some Kant for my human rights. It's funny how some subject cross like that. I just got done studying Locke in Human rights and then I did him for philosophy too. They all have different views and "proofs" for the existence or non-existence of God and the Soul. Hard to remember who said what. Anyway I gotta go.............write later
