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..........
