What a bullshit class I just had. It was my stupid sociology of communications class. We have to do an research essay or presetnation 10-15 pages long. These two girls, yeah two of them, got together and did a presentation that would have been a 2 page essay, if that. They had some pictures, but nothing fantastic. Two of them will get credit for it too. He'll probablygive them an A just because they did a presentation. It's supposed to be 10 pages at least!! I worked on my correcions essay all weekend! It is going to be awesome!! It is definately going to be longer than 5-7 pages, but there is a ton of information. I just have to finish that and another research paper for Friday and write the paper for my soc of communications class, and a book review and then I'm done!! I'm done on April 5th and I want to go to SJ to see my sister in her play on Friday (I just seen an ad for it in the "here" paper), then on the 12th I have two exams, on the18th I have one, and I'll be done until May 1st. Jody still hasn't called me, I called him a week ago and he said he was just waiting for the gift certificates to come in. I hope they're in this week!! I have one more class and then I go hom eand work on all of this stuff. Godd thing Sam works all day, no distractions! (well exccept for Gizmo, but she is pretty content just sitting by me while I work). Thanks for all the comments!! Are there enough periods in this post for you Lisa? ;) Write lateer......:)

I jus finished my corrections midterm and I think I did really well. I didn't do as well as I had hoped on the last one, so I studied my ass off for this one. I studied all the right suff, well I studies dates cause I thought she would have something in there about when probation was brought into Canada(1889-young offenders, 1921-federal law, and 1927-into the criminal code of Canada). I figured I'd just share since I studied it. There were some other dates too, but the only thing I wasn't really expecting was the questions taht involved percentages of offender reicidivism. I wasn't expecting that, I had glanced at the hand out, so I think I got a few right. I did awesome on the short answer questions though, so I know right there I've got 20/50 marks, the rest were the multiple choice. I figure if I get 20/29 multiple choice right and 20/21 for the short answer, I'll come out with an 80%. I'm happy with that. This professor doesn't get the point of a bonus question though, as an extra point. She includes it in her calculation like any other question, really it is a regular question, labelled as a bonus. I have to finish my sociolgy of communications essay this weekend, I'd also like to finish my mod soc theory research assignment, just to have it done. Then I've got to read this stupid, mind numbing book to read and write a book review. But that is due in 1 1/2 weeks, so I've got alittle bit of slacking room. I go to get my couch and chair today!! I'm so excited, I just got an email from the girl saying that her boyfriend would be the only one coming, she has to work, but he'll be coming at 6:30pm. Woohoo!! I love new furniture! Mom also offfered to help me pay for a coffee and end table set when I was talking to her last night. *Thanks mom!!* Which is really weird, because Sam and I had just been looking at a nice set the day before when we went to get groceries. oh yeah *note to self-pay the phone bill* That's due today to. I really need to get back to work, on top of my bills every month, I'm taking a course this summer, and I have to come up with $490 to pay for it, and I talked to the proff this morning, there are 2 text books that I need to buy. Oh...I was talking to my professor, who I'm taking my senior sociology seminar with next year ( I have her for 2 classes this semester) and I asked her about what would be covered in the seminar. I guess it is a seminar on the sociology of Food!! yeah! on Food!! I mean, really these people can just pull topics out of their asses and call it a subject just because they have their PhD's!! Ridiculous!! Oh, well...she is a good proff, and I rather learn something about food, than learn nothing about another topic with another proff. My communications professor is a weird marker. He gave me an A- on an essay I barely worked on and a C+ on a midterm that I really studied for, and I have no idea what I did wrong. My friend Melissa told him that she is really busy right now and worried about the final exam, so he said O'k just make the paper, due this Monday, alittle longer and you don't have to write a final exam!! I don't see how making an essay longer is going to cause her any less stress, but no exam!! He is nuts!! That's not fair to the rest of the class either, we don't have the option of writing a longer essay, which he marks easier, than writing an exam!! I have so much information on my topic, I could totally make it longer than it has to be. That is the class I have next, maybe he'll offer that option to us. I still haven't won anything on roll up the rim!! Nothing!! I'm off to class....comment!! :)

Sue just reminded me in an email that I hadn't posted in awhile. I really could have just posted my email to her as a new post, but oh well. We're buying a couch set. It's a nice navy blue micro fibre one. I offered the girl 125$, she took my offer and then I had to figure out how to get it up Regent street. I thought ath I was screwed!! I posted on the ads forum that I needed a truck. The same night a person answered my post. She said that she knew how hard it was to move stuff and that her boyfriend had just bought a truck. I'm going to offer them 20$. Ithink that's pretty good, I only need the truck for 15-20minutes. So, Sam and I are just going to sell the pull out coucht that we have. I think Jackie is interested, but if not I can post that on the ads forum. My professor extended some due dates to my relief the other day. I have her for two classes. Oh!! I got my second midterm back for my modern sociological theory class ( with this professor) and I got an A-!! Woohoo!! I was excited, as you may know from a past post, to get a B+ in her class. I'm going to take her for my senior seminar next year. I like her. I was talking to Karen the other day about my classes next year, and lucky that I did. I was going to take two classes with this horrible professor. Karen said that when this Gayle MacDonald took over for another professor in a class she was taking, her mark went form an A to a C+. I don't want a proff like that. She compared her to Karla O'Regan, whom I really didn't like having. So I am now taking two classes, that I'm not to interested in (not that I was interested in the ones with MacDonald to much) at all, but have a GPA booster kinda proff. She's alittle scatter brained I've heard but easy enough. I'm taking sociology of women and law first semester with a different proff, then I'm taking sociology of women and education with GPA booster Proff as well as, a course I 'm really not to interested in, sociology of Chinese women! Whatever that is! Oh well only one year left. Oh!! And you know who hasn't called me?! Jody, he told me I would be back to work at the end of February!! Why would you tell someone that!! Oh well, I have alot of school work to get done anyway. I called him yesterday and he said that he was just waiting for the gift certificates to come in(people who subscribe with me get a gift certificate). I only have 2 weeks left of school, I really have to get working on my corrections presentation. Ah...procrastination......Gizmo is up and being a very well behaved dog! She hasn't made any messes in the apartment, just on the newspaper.(which is good) I think I'll finish my research assignment tonight and study for my corrections midterm on Friday. Write later....:)

I was just looking at my tentative schedule for next year, looking at the alternatives to Sociology of religion. I noticed that I was going to take a course second semester that was a full year course, so I had 2 spots to fill. I am now taking social control and social justice and sociology of law 2nd semester, which works out well b/c I am taking sociology of women and law first semester. I also went to ratemyprofessors.com and looked at the professors taht I haven't had, they all got really good ratings. My first semester schedule is much better than first in terms of time. My first semester classes are all in a row, but second semester I have alot of time in between my classes. Also my first semester classes only run until 2:20pm, my second semester classes run until 4:50pm Monday and Wensday. Oh well, after that I will be done!! Woohoo! Tonight Sam and I are going to go out for dinner, which is very nice, I was thinking of making a boiled ham dinner, but we only have the ham and potatoes, no other veges. I ate all the baby carrots, I love those little dippable things!! :) Anyway I'm getting hungry, write later, :)

WOOHOO!! Jody called me this morning and told me that he had taken my suggestion, checked out Zellers and that I should be back to work by Saturday...or Monday at the latest!! It made my whole day brighter. AND I got my Sociology and eclogy midterm back, I got a B+, ehich is really good in her class, cause she marks in increments of 5 (95-100, 90-94...etc) Not all of my sociology proffs mark like that though, I got an 80% in my soc of communications class, and that proff considers it an A-. Weird. Oh well.She didn't have our pamphlets marked, but made a copy of everyones pamplet for the whole class. I was looking at them and mine is really well done compared to some. Some people just taped stuff to a piece of paper and got it photocopied, it looked really bad, other people only had information on one side of the pamphlet. She also extended our due date for a book review for 3 weeks. Now it's not due until the last day of class. Which is really good for me b/c I had 4 different assignments due on the same day, now it's only 3. I also have tomorrow off from school, so I'm thinking of inviting Jackie to go out for the evening. It's raining....so that could turn into drinking and playing wheel of fortune online, hehe, we used to do that all the time in first year.My day had been just great, Sam brought me home a coffee, which was great, and now I have all this time to do whatever I want....which probably will result in watching T.V. Oh well. My young offenders professor is so random. WE have all of our assignments online, which can be good, I'm not to partial to it, but she teaches the most random things in class, doesn't tell us how it relates to/if it does our assignments. It's frustrating. At least there are only 3 1/2 more weeks of school, then exams. Then I have to take intersession, but I like the proff, I'll just have to work on my webpage more. This post is quite rambly...oh well...today has been a good day for me and hope that it has been a good day for my readers...:)

I was so unbelievably unproductive over the march break!! I sat around and thought about doing some work, but the old procrastination kicked in and I found myself thinking, "really, ...I've got all day tomorrow to work", but when tomorrow came I repeated the same thing. I did however work a lot on a research project yesterday. The dates aren't making sense though. I'm doing it on a theorist who apparently influenced the second wave of feminism, but she wrote the majority of her stuff after the wave came about. I'm going to ask my proff about it today, b/c she was the one who suggested doing this particular theorist, and I've already done all of the research that I need. We need to use 8 different references for this assignment. Which is stupid because they all say the same thing in different ways and it makes it hard to use them all when writing. I'll make due though. I wrote a lot yesterday. Mom, Susan and Cole came up on Saturday to drop Gizmo off. It was a nice little visit. They didn't stay to long, but that worked out for the best anyway, I got a lot done. Gizmo was moping a bit, but I think she is alright today. I took her for a quick walk to Tims and back this morning. , she had fun. I hope my modern theory professor gives us back our midterms today, I think I did pretty well. The course offerings for next year were posted recently, I'm going to have a class from 7-9:50pm on Mondays. I had to do that one to get the professor I wanted. She is teaching later in the day next year. But I was talking to Jackie and she also has a class at the same time, so we will have someone to walk to and from school with. That won't be so bad, I just didn't want to be walking by myself at night. My schedule seems pretty good though, I'll only have one class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (other than the 7-9:50pm one once a week) and three on Tuesday and Thursday. I only "need" 5 more classes to get my majors, but I have to take 5 more to get the credits (you need 120 credits to graduate) So for my second semester schedule to work out as nicely as the first, I'm thinking about taking sociology of religion. I really don't want to , but I don't know what else I could take that would work out as nicely. At least it is second semester, so I can keep checking for changes in the course offerings. Oh, by the way, as you all know...I drink a ridiculous amount of coffee...Do you think I've won a damn thing off of rollup the rim?...Nope!! Not a thing!! Have any of you won? Anyway I should probably get to class soon....write later

We decided to go 50/50 on the dinner and Sam paid to rent the movie. We rented "walk the line", we both really enojoyed it. I tried to study for my midterm yesterday, but it is tons of information to remember. She gave us the questions that she will choose from, but all of the questions are really long and include lots. I'm going to cram for 45-50mins after my soc of communications class before the class. Maybe she'llpostpone it until after the break.....wishful thinking...She's letting Karen write it after the break because her daughter has been sick and she is going to England today. Which is really nice of her. She is a pretty understanding proff, she gave me an extension on a paper after I told her I was attending my grandfathers funeral. She just offered it tome, I didn't even ask. I hope I do alright, I answered all of the questions, I just concentrate on the bigger, more important ones, she'llgive us a choice either this one or that one in section 1, and the samefor the others. The class took a fit about fill in the blank questions after our first midterm, which weren't really that hard, but lots of people didn't do well, so now it is just based on essay questions. I made 16/20 on the fill in the blanks, which brought up my mark on the essay questions. Anyway wish me luck!! Have a great day!!:)

Well, Monday came and went, as did Tuesday and no call from Jody, he is so slack!! I mean I would like to have my job back and why tell me that he would get back to me if he really wasn't going to? Because he sucks, I'm going to call him today after school and just ask him if I can go talk to Zellers or Sobeys about setting a kiosk up. If it isn't a big deal I'll do it myself!! :) Last night Sam and I went out to the Hilltop and drank a few drinks and danced, we had a nice evening . I have discovered that I enjoy coffee liquer and milk, kind of tastes like a sweet white russian. I wonder how much it costs, I think I would enjoy a bottle. I'm going to call Jody, then Sam and I are going to go get some groceries, and then its going to be dinner and a movie. I think we're going to go see Freedomland. Our date night didn't happen last week, so he's paying for dinner and I'm paying for the movie....ah...gift certificates...so handy when I'm broke...stupid jody...grr...I think tonight will be another enjoyable evening. Thursday my young offenders proff cancelled class and is just giving us an online assignment, so I only have one class that day, I'll have lots of time to study for my modern sociological theory midterm. That works out nicely. I have been procrastinating so bad lately. The weekend is the worst, I always have the intention to start working on stuff by 2pm, all the time this happens. Then it turns into after supper.....then after some T.V show...then it turns into "well I have all day tomorrow". It's totally my own fault, but it's a vicious cycle, I'm stuck!!! I don't know how to get out of this lazy rutt. I feel so tired all the time. I'm glad march breeak begins Friday, but being so lazy has left me with tons of stuff to do over the break. I have so much stuff due on the 24th of March. I have started bringing my own tea to school and cup of soups for lunch and I'm saving alot of $$. I never realized how much money I was spening on coffee, but Melissa laughed at me the other day when I bought a coffee, and asked me how much I spent on coffee a day.I tallied it up and it worked out to be 3$-$5 a day. So I've changed my ways, brought my own cup of coffee this morning in a thermous and have my owm tea bags too. I have my communications class next, I got my midterm back, and didn't do as well as I thought I would have, no body in the class made over a 75%. He said I can write it over after march break, but I don't know what I didn wrong, he just put red checkmarks through out the test, no comments or anything. I have no idea how he came up with the grades. I went and worked out yesterday, discovered my student id was missing, but the guy said it was ok, and highlighted my name in some book. I got an email that siad I had forgotten it at the library. So I went to the gym today and told the girl there that my id was at the library, I didn't have time to go get it before coming, she wouldn't let me in. I guess u can only forget your id once. boo!! Lousy gym. Anyway I' going to check my email and get ready for class, anyone have anything exciting planned for March break?
