I just realized how long it has been since my last post!! Almost a week!! I just kept checking to see if anyone had commented. I came to SJ on Saturday, mom and Sue were nice enough to come up and get me. We went for lunch at Mikes, Sam was working, he suped up my star pizza!! He put little pieces of red pepper on all the tips!! I couldn't even finish the whole thing, it came with a dessert. We all split it and gave the rest of the salad and half a star pizza to Sam. I introduced Sue and Mom to Snowball. They liked her. Sam has been taking good care of her. I was talking to him today and he said he had cleaned out her whole cage for me. I'm going to bring Gizmo home with me (she is SO little now that she got her hair cut), I think they will be friends after their initial introduction to one another. I went to Giant tiger and got a wack of stuff! I bougth new ink cartridges and two giant pillows for my couch. I think it will look very nice, and be more comfy as well. I haven't been able to find any bunny treats, there are tons of stuff for cats and dogs, but not a heck of alot for bunnies. I had a dentist appointment today, he said that he wouldn't freeze my mouth to much, so that I could get something to eat and it wouldn't be uncomfortable. I left his office at 5:20pm, it's 9:17pm right now and it is only now that I can feel the side of my cheek. He said that I can just get my cleaning done in Fredericton and not have to come to SJ for it next month, which is good. That would have been a pain. I've gotten a couple of emails back about my applications to different businesses, thanking me for my interest. I'm remaining hopeful for the jewelery store to call, I'd like to work for a jewelery store. Tasha and I hung out this evening after my dentist appointment. It was really nice seeing her, we always try to get together when I'm down, but I'm usually not down this long, which makes it hard. Richard is going to drive me up to Freddy tomorrow morning, then I have an appointment at the student employment servuce in the afternoon. I'll write tomorrow or something.....

WooHoo!! I finally got a rabbitt!! I used to ask for a bunny all the time when I was younger, that and a dog..... I got Gizmo and now I have a bunny! Last Sunday I went over to the pet store with Sam, he looked at fish (like always) ans I noticed a cage with 3 rabbitts in it. There was very small white one bouncing around. She was pretty cute so I asked the man what her name was, she said they don't name the animals (b/c they get to attached to them) I named the rabbitt Snowball. All week I've been thinking about Snowball. I was talking to mom this afternoon and I told her about Snowball...she told me "aww..go get it...I'll give you $100 towards it. So I went over to the store to ask the lady if Gizmo would get sick or if Gizmo would make the bunny sick, I walked into the store and heard another woman say " I'd like to buy a rabbitt", so I ran over and told the girl that I wanted Snowball and would buy her right then (the other lady wanted a brown one anyway). So I came home assembled her (orange)rabbit "resort" and put her in. I was looking in the small animal guide and noticed the exact same cage in thecolor blue, I ranover and asked the pet store lady if I could exchange it for a blue one, it would go alot better in my house. She said yes and now I have a nice navy blue cage. It looks alot nicer. Tomorrow I'm going to hand out more resumes after my exam. Tomorrow is Thursday...we have ot go pick up Sams bike that he bought to. We'll do that after. I'm very excited about being done school, my webpage turned out alot better than the one I did for another class with the same proff. I hope for many things right now.....I hope I do well on my course....and I hope I can get a job soon. I think I'm going to go study for my exam right now...any comments are always appreciated!!
I've been passing out resumes like crazy!! The jobs in this city suck!! All the jobs pay shitty, there is nothing in this city that is available for a student who still has one year to go, even the jobs for graduates aren't all that great. I'm going to be stuck working at some job for shitty money or have to take shitty hours at a job that pays more. Jody has just started ignoring my messages and calls altogether, so I'm going to take the job that comes first, if I get hired somewhere (full time) I'll give him the kiosk back. If I get a part time job (which are the only ones available) I'll look for another one as well, if it comes up first I'll do the kiosk, if not and I get 2 part time I'm just going to drop off the kiosk to him. I applied at the jewelery store yesterday at the Regent mall. The owner said that he would be sure to call me when he starts setting up interviews, he sounded sincere, and I wouldn't mind working at a jewelery store..... I really enjoy jewelery, and the latest that I would work would be 9pm. I told him I was available for anything in the summer and I can give him my school schedule for the next year. He liked that I lived close by.....so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I wore my black dress pants and black blazer that I bought awhile ago. I'm glad I did cause all of the other ladies in the jewelery store had on dress clothes and blazers. I have my exam tomorrow and then I'm done!!! I really liked taking this class, it was interesting. I have a dentist appointment this Tuesday, I might go home alittle early and spend a couple days in SJ. I'll get Sam to keep an eye on the phone numbers to see if any possible employers call. Anyway I'm going to get a coffee....write later...

You people reading this Suck!!!! Comment!! Is it so hard to type an occasional "hi" or something? I've been checking to see if there were any comments posted....and time after time I've been disappointed. So disappoited that I completely forgot to post. It's been almost a week since my last post!! Anyway....Sam and I have bought a badmington set with 4 rackets and a wack of shuttles and we were at Canadian tire yesterday and seen some tennis rackets for a good price, so we each bought one and some tennis balls. We are all set for some good weather......waiting for the good weather, cause it's been raining.......alot. I past out some resumes yesterday. I applied at Reitmans in the Fredericton mall....they all (retail stores in general) ask if you have any retail experience....but...you can't get any experience...because no one will hire you. I have tomorrow off (which will be spent finishing my webpage), Tuesday I have class-webpage due and questions before the exam, and Wednesday is the actual exam. I think I'm going to come out of this class with a really good grade. 25% of our grade is on class attendance and participation, I haven't missed a day, 10% on our proposal, which I got an A- on, 40% on the webpage, and 25% on our final. I woke up with a rotten stomach ache this morning, it comes and goes all day... I took some TUMS, hopefully they will kick in soon. How are my readers doing? hmmm... I never hear from any of you, so how are you guys doing? Now...to let me know how your doing...simply click on the comment button and type away, sick, good, bad, anything..... :) Ha, now I might get a comment!! If I don't, I'll know that no one reads my blog, which I must say would sadden me a bit.......not for long.... I am a resilent person and would not let something like that get to me (for long).......but it would discourage me from writing. I check other peoples blogs lots, it is part of my habit. Mom posted once at the end of April and Sue is pretty slack as well. I made some carrot muffins with frosting on top, they taste very nice. I think I'm going to go make some soup or something to settle my stomach.....write later....

Yesterday was a great day!! It all started in the morning.....I walked out of the apartment and shut the door, turned around, and seen somethhing in the hallway, crumpled up. It turned out to be a 5$ bill!! That bought me a nice large cofffee and muffin in the morning. Then later I was craving ice cream, so Sam and I went to Sobeys and picked up a butter pecan crunch two litre for 3$. Sam suggested that we buy a frisbee, so we went and got one. We spent the entire afternoon outside throwing the frisbee around. It was beautiful in Freddy yesterday, we went out at 3 different times to throw it around. I sucked when we started.....but I improved alot. We are thinking about getting a set of badmington rackets as well. We had alot of fun. Sam switched date night to last night instead of Friday, so we went to a new restaurant called Hannah's (it's where the lobster hut used to be). The food was really good. Sam got a large fish and chips and I had a chicken/veg teriaki stir fry on rice. It was really good. I think we'll go to a movie next week, we haven't been to one in awhile. Any suggestions would be appreciated. :) I'm not feeling allt hat great today, I woke up with a headache and I can't seem to get rid of it. Anyway Ellen is on so I'm going to go watch that....comment!!

I had a good day today, I went to class, it was interesting....we watched a video on Noam Chomsky. I'm doing my website/research project on sexual assault and wrote a proposal for my project, I included info about Noam Chomsky in my proposal. I just looked online and seen my grade, I got an A-!! He does everything online, he wrote comments on our proposals as well, he wrote "excellent beginning; the topic is a good one, looking at the portrayal of sexual assault in the media; there is also a preliminary analysis; great job!". Woohoo!! I did a great job! With an ! point. Nothing better than that!! hehe. I seen the guy that lent my money today, we talked and I found out his name is Billy. I've seen him in a couple of my classes, I just told him that I'm horrible with names. I downloaded the program Wikipedia to design my webpage, I think it will be alot easier than using Frontpage like I did last time. I called Jody yesterday and I he told me that Canadian Tire is screwing him around as well, they switched their payment system and it's harder to get the gift certificates, he also told me that he hired another person, one minute he said that he had hired her for Monday and Tuesday (when I don't work) and the next he was saying she would work with me on busy days. I think he got confused, because there is no way in hell that you need two people to stand behind a 2' x 4' kiosk. He then started saying that I might be back at the Superstore, which is downtown. I looked online and found a job that I am going to apply for. It pays the same and the hours are better. It's downtown, but I have a free buspass through school, so it doesn't matter to much. I'm going to apply, see what happens, and if that happens before the Gleaner thing, I'll tell Jody that he can give the other girl my hours as well. Whatever....he can't expect people to wait a month and a half for their jobs to start. I wonder which semester this intersession grades go on? hmmm....... I'm not sure if they include it in last semesters grades or next semesters. Sam and I walked downtown yesterday to go to Revenue Canada to get our taxes done, get help with them anyway, he had told me that it was downtown and I double checked with him and everything. He sounded so assured of it I didn't feel the need to ask anything more about it. So...we walked, all the way downtown...walk into service the new brunswick building and he asks the woman sitting at the desk where in the building revenue Canada is!! Turns out that it is uptown on Prospect street. So...we walked all the way back up the hill!! He told me that revenue Canada building uin Saint John is at the service NB building......so he assumed it would be the same!! :) crazy man!! If nothing else, it was a nice walk and it was really nice out yesterday...not to hot, but not to cold. He brought a nice pesto Chicken pizza home today, it was really good. Sam is making bread for some reason, we have lots, strange.....write later....

Saturday wasn't to busy, I didn't do a heck of alot, it was nice. Sam and I hung out and went for a couple of walks when he got off work. I lov ehim working days. We're spending so much time together. He was working all the time at the Hilltop that I had forgotten how much I enjoy his company. He has today, tomorrow, and Wednesday off. He's going stir crazy just thinking about it!! He actually got called into work for this afternoon. He's working 4-10pm. I told him that he can't make it a habit working nights though. But picking up the hours brought him up to 40hrs this week. A guy called him last week to pick up a shift as well, so he got an extra 4hrs last week. He told me that he put his number on the schedule saying that he would take and all shifts, crazy!! He really likes working there. I'm glad that he's working at a place where he is happy at the end of the night, unlike the Hilltop. My class is going well. I wrote a proposal for my project yesterday, I'm doing my project on sexual assault and the media distortion of it. From what I've found it looks very interesting, and luckily enough, we are doing some classes on the same topic! :) Sunday was the INXS concert, Lisa and Anthony came to the apartment for a BBQ, but our little tank ran out!! We ended up having our steaks on the flattop./grill thing mom bought Sam and I for X-mas. It was very good, Sam cooked. Lisa had also invited two of her friends to come over and hang out before the concert, it was really nice. I hope they can come up in the future(maybe by then we can actually have a BBQ!!) Lisa's friend, Jay was funny, a real INXS fan if there ever was one, had a hat and t-shirts!! It was really nice getting to see Lisa, hardly get to see her anymore!! I baked a chocolate cake for a treat, I've had this crazy craving for something sweet. We didn't have anything to make a cake or cupcakes a couple of days ago, but we did have marshmellows. Ah...marshmellows.....no rice krispies, but we did have raison bran cereal, so I made raison bran granola bars, they were really good. I definately will make them again, ah......I'm taking a hint form Sam and experimenting...so far so good.:) I've got to do some assignment for class tonight though.....taking one class in a month instead of 3 months is kind of intense, Professors really make up for the work that you don't have from other classes by having lots for their classes!! It's an interesting class though, so I don't mind to much. I gave that guy 3$ for the $2 he lent me on Thursday.....he didn't say much.Hmm....oh well.OH!! Sam and I were in Winners today and i seen a woman who was going to buy this large bright pink suit case for $89.99, I look through the flyers alot, asked her if she was going on a big trip....she laughed and told me she was going to Hawaii. I told her that I had just seen in this weeks flyer that Canadian Tire was selling a 3 piece suit case set for $39.99 and she could sve some money. She thanked me and said she would go next door and get them there instead. I felt very nice about saving someone money. I know I always enjoy when I'm given a good tip on a sale for something~!!:) Anyway I'm going to go get a tea or something, write later.....comment!!

Today has already been pretty exciting. I went to class this morning, had a coffee with me (I bring my own in the morning). Later when we ahd a break at about 10am, I went to Tims on campus to get another one. I realized I had no money and went to the abm to take some out. Well there is a $1.50 charge to use the one at school, and I like even $20's in my account, all I had was $20, so I couldn't take any money out. I seen a guy, I completely forget his name, but i know him from a couple of classes and the current class I'm taking. I was rummaging through my purse and asked him if Tims takes debit....he said no, and handed me a toonie for coffee!! How nice is that!? I'm going to give him $3 on Monday when classes resume. Nothing in this world is free and random acts of kindness deserve to be rewarded. :) I was walking home from school after class ended and I said to myself, "Krista, where is your purse?". I had forgotten my purse hanging on the back of the door in the bathroom at school. I ran, like a bat out of hell, back to school, ran into the bathroom and couldn't find my purse! Another lady was there, and she asked me what I was looking for, I told her my purse.She said "oh, I've lost 2!". That is not something you say to someone that is panicked baout loosing their purse and all of their I.D. She asked me what class I had been in, I ran into the class, and looked in the isle I had been sitting, it wasn't there! I went back into the hall, we seen some guy and he asked us what was going on, I told him I had lost my purse. I was ocmpletely out of breath from having run there. I went back into the bathroom to check again.It wasn't there, I left, and the guy had just come out of the classroom holding my purse!! He said "is this it?", I ran over and hugged him, he laughed at me, I thanked him and asked him his name, he said "Ron", I hugged him again and said "thank you Ron, you saved me alot of time, energy and money." What a day. I had gotten a new purse, at the Giant Tiger. (Sue also got the same one) It is a shoulder purse, and I've done really well not leaving it anywhere, but I had remembered hanging it up in the bathroom because I had left to go to the bathroom during class, AND after class.I had hung it up the first time, but left it in the room the second time. What a relief it was to see him come out holding my purse. I only have 14 full days of school left, not including weekends. It's a beautiful day in Fredericton today, Sam and i are going to have a BBQ tonight. Anyway I'm going to go make something to eat....write later....

I called Jody early this morning, he wasn't in, so I left a message telling him that I really need to start working soon. I said that my money is running out and I need to start working. I went to class, came home at about 11:30am and called him again at 12pm. He was out again. He called me back at about 1:30pm and apologized. He said that they were having to much trouble trying to get the coupons (for when people subscribe with me) for Zellers. He said that he knew I wanted to be uptown, so he had arranged for the kiosk to be at Canadian Tire, which is just as close as Zellers. He said that I can start tomorrow!! He will call me in the morning or I can call when I'm done school. I don't know how busy it will be at Canadian tire though. Actually....come to think of it.....alot of men were the ones who took the two weeks free that I was offering last summer. I don't care, I'll be working. For my crime and media class, there are only four things that we are graded on, 1) a proposal 2) attendance and class exercises 3) a webpage designed on the topic we wrote the proposal on, and 4) a final essay type exam. I have to pick a topic for my proposal soon though, it's due Monday, May 8th. I'm not to sure what kind of topics he is looking for, I'll have to talk to him tomorrow. Sam is really enjoying work at Mikes. He said he had another great day today. He made dinner again tonight, we had cheese stuffed chicken with bbq sauce, chicken fried rice, and a cheesy potato bake thing that he came up with. He's always making up his own recipes, luckily they (usually) turn out well. Whenever we have cheese in the fridge, he puts it in everything!! A big brick never lasts us more than a 5-7 days.(we shred it up and freeze it in a couple zip lock bags) I really like him working days, not just because he's cooking dinner all the time, but it's nice to have him home. He rented the movie neoflux, we are going to watch that soon. He traded in the Crash bandacoot game that mom had given us (the only one I like to play) for a blockbuster credit to rent the movie!! Didn't even tell me where he was going!! I was on the computer and he said "bye hun" and left, I didn't know where he went or what he was doing. Jerk!! I've only played it twice, but still, it was the only game I had any interest in. Anyway....we're going to watch the movie....write later

I had my crime and media class this morning. I think it will be interesting enough. The text books sound interesting to read. There are chapters on serial murderers, sexual assaults, domestic violence, etc. We have a proposal due next Monday for our main project, which, like his historical reactions class, is a webpage. I'll just work harder on this one. It's supposed to be a 2 1/2 hour class, but we only stayed for an hour this morning, just an introduction to the class and what will be required. I paid the rest of my course today, and my rent is also due, this is putting a big dent in my bank account. Oh well, I'm hoping to hear from Jody today, he said he would call me and let me know what's going on. He said that I should be back to work this Wednesday. I'm going to ask him if it's alright if I work a couple extra hours for the month of May while I'm in school. He didn't really seem to care much last summer. I started working only 15-18 hours a week, but I was filling out my own time thing, so I eventually worked up to 21 hours and he never said anything. I called around to see about drivers education, I'm interested in getting my license. I've had my permit for a few years and I want my license now. I've gotten prices from young drivers, $629 + tax and A plus drivers education, which is $493 taxes included. What a huge difference, and they both include the same amount of driving time and class time. I'm waiting to hear from First Rate driving. I think I'll have to wait until I'm back to work for awhile though. Maybe I'll take one in August. I want to do it in the summer. I wouldn't want to learn in the winter, I think it would be harder. I'm going to go get a coffee and Tims, write later....Comment people!! :)
