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 :)
