I have had a wonderful day today!! I went to bed early last night and got some much needed extra sleep. I woke up refreshed and ready to go. I got up and made two fabulous cups of coffee. I checked my bank account and my line of credit went through. I went to the bank and got my tuition checque and headed off to school. I was walking down Regent and someone yelled at me from behind. It was Gill!! I hadn't seen her in such a long time. She walked to school with me. She had just come from an interview at Canada Post. She likes her job at CIBC, but not the hours(she works nights). We talked and sat outside James Dunn before my class. I went to my class and learned alot. Today I am in a positive mood and I asked lots of questions. I apologized later for getting the professor off topic a bit. He said that it was no problem and he wished others would ask questions more. Woohooo...brownie points for me. I have a research question due tomorrow. I tried to work on it all day yesterday, but I was so tired it was to of not productive at all and I finally gave up after about 4 hours. AND my printer broke. Yup, just gave out while I was doing the maintenance things. I Checked the nozzel thing and cleaned all the things and it quit. A piece broke off and now it is useless to me. I hope I can buy another one like it though, cause I have 3 full black ink cartridges for it. Today I'm calling into work and telling them I can't come in. I'll make up my hours tomorrow. They don't care to much. I really should go get something to eat before I start the research thing. Write later....

P.S: I looked at Gills grad picture and noticed that she is wearing a back robe and the collar thing is mainly gold with just alittle bit of green!! Woohoo. I told Gill today about my hate for the color green. She laughed at me. She was surprised that she didn't know, having known me so long. :)

I just went to the bank and got my student line of credit (well signed the stuff for it). It's just a matter of time now before I can access it. Woohoo! The interest is only 6% on the premium and 5 for something else. I work tonight, Blah. It's raining up here today. I got soaked walking back from school. I'm gonna bring my umbrella with me to work. (for the walk home from the bus stop). I'm going to go get my grad pictures taken on Monday at 4:20pm. I think I'll go get my hair done. Its all one length right now, I'll get a something done with it. The only thing......to my disappointment.......as many of you know I HATE the color green for clothing....I don't know why.....green has never done anything to me personally, but I loath the color for some reason. Our school colors are green and gold. I hadn't really thought this through, but I was looking at Gill's grad picts and the rode is Green!!! I don't know what I can do?! Is there maybe a gold robe with alittle green on t? I could deal with that, but the whole thing? I don't know! I might just have to suck it up and try to smile even though I'll be draped in the wretched color! I work today, I called to say that I couldn't come in b/c I had to much work to do for school, but the secretary said that I would have to make up the hours another day, come in on Saturday. I couldn't have that!! I have been looking forward to this Saturday since last Saturday (when I worked). So I told her I'd figure something out and just come in. Oh, there was a meeting last Saturday as well. At this meeting it was announced that if you call in sick you now have to provide a doctors note!! Whatever, if I'm sick I am not going all the way up to the hospita or medical clinic to sit around other sick people just to see a doctor for a note!! I am staying in bed!! I don' t know how much longer I'm going to be able to work there. There is alot of work to do for school this term. Maybe I'll look for another part time job that is closer to home and closes earlier. That's an idea.hmmm.......Anyway gotta go get ready for work.....woohoo......write later....

Guess What?!!!No never mind, I'll tell you, cause you'll never guess (it's that ridiculous!). Sam just told me that he is going to save up and buy his own computer. I mean I have a computer, but now it's not good enough. He recently started hanging out with a guy from work who happens to be interested in computers and is a tech guy or something. Whatever. Now Sam has bought a computer game (which you play online, but have to pay for a membership, cause his Ps2 wasn't cutting it for whatever reason) and wants to start downloading movies and games and music, etc. AND he won't just buy a laptop so that it is small and out of the way. Oh no! It's gotta be a desktop with a 256 video graphics card and a 512 ram. I don't know if any of you have noticed, but my apartment is....well...petit. We have a limited amount of space and it is All being used. (some of it by his 2 separate fish tanks!!) Where are we going to put Another computer?! He is crazy. His tech guy was saying that my computer isn't good anymore and I should upgrade andblah blah blah...... Why pay more $ to upgrade when I am Completely satisfied with my computer? Who knows. Whatever. Donwloading all that stuff he is going to have his computer fried in a matter of months. He could put that money to such better use!! Grrr.............. He doesn't even see why I should even care, cause it's his money and it doens't matter. I am so frustrated! Anyway I gotta get to work, just needed to vent. Write later.

Books are ridiculously expensive at the bookstore and the store is understaffed for this time of the year!! Providing books for 2 universities and only having 3-4 tellers open. I'm kinda lucky though, my women and law class doesn't have a text. There is a printed version of the aritcles we will need, but they are all available online at Legaltrac as well. I'll just print them off myself. I have a full ink cartridge in my printer and 3 in available. I also got an email about my gender studies text, she wrote for me to make an offer, so I said $30 for it. I've seen other people selling it for that much, so I don't think it is unreasonable. Hopefully I can still go to the used book store and get my research methods book. On to more exciting news. Sam...crazy Sam.....put 2$ into a VLT machine the other day and won $400.00!!Then he took $10 of those dollars and put it into another machine and pulled out another $200.00!! He bought me my new Norton Antivirus as a surprise (mines almost expired). He bought me coffee and offered to take me out to dinner, but I had just eaten, so he gave me $20 to photocopy my crim theory book. (I borrowed it from a girl for $30, she paid $60+tax). I came home the other day and he had bought a 27" flat screen t.v and a home theatre system (surround sound and everything). The entertainment unit cracked under the weight of the stuff and barely fits in. He told me he had to take the lip of the top shelf of to insert it into the spot for the television! He bought a couple of movies the last night to- Flightplan and FreedomLand. He also rented final destination 3 for us as well. The last couple of days I have been treated like a Queen!! (well...at least a spoiled princess). It's been great.!! :0) I think I'm going to work Wednesdays instead of Tuesdays. I called work and left a message. I'm so tired!! Going to class all day and then immediately to work is to hard. On wednesdays I only have one class. This year is going to be so much reading and so much work!! I hope my student line of credit gets approved soon. I filled out a late payment slip so that I don't get kicked out of my classes when I don't pay on Wednesday. I now have until the 30th of September to pay. I went to my senior seminar on Monday. It was great!! I really like the proff. She also took a vote and changed the class from 7-9:50pm to 6:30-9:20pm. It's all about the study of food. The production, consumption, management, regulations, health and safety, etc. My friend Kelly is also in the class. She lives down the street, so it gives me someone to walk home with and know in class. We are also in the same group fo rour major group assignment. I took Professor Machum for Society and Ecology last year, so I already have some knowledge about the stuff we are studying. Today I went to my gender studies class and a girl from my modern soc class last year had just signed up. It's always nice when you know a couple people in the class. BTW is anyone in need/want for a 13" t.v? We have one in the bedroom, but now will have the 20" one for in there. Let me know. Anyway I am starving. I really have to figure out a way to eat when I have 3 classes right in a row and in different buildings, tyhe not eating anything is not working. My gender studies professor is somewhat of a.....well....."flake"...there is no other way to describe her. She is all about group work and us getting to know each other. I don't want to be tested on Joes Birthday or something, I'd like to learn about the study of gender and the different theoretical branches associated with that study....whatever I guess....there's always one :). Snowball is doing great!! She follows me all around the apartment and comes over for pats and everything. I think I'll go make something to eat and watch some t.v on the much larger t.v set that we now have...... thanks for the suggestions of girly movies, keep them coming!!

I've had a nice week! School went well on Thursday and Friday. I don't even have to buy any text books for one of my classes!! Turns out that the professor forgot to order them and now it's to late!! She is going to photocopy the whole text for us. Three 2 others the professors said that used ones are available, they are usually cheaper than buying brand new ones. My crim theory proff has a brand new one, that is 60$ apparently, and I don't know what I'll need for my seminar. The used book room opens at 10:30am tomorrow, so I'm going to go to school early and see if I can get any good deals on texts. A girl emailed me and said that she would sell me her research methods text for $60, but I'm pretty sure I can get it cheaper somewhere else. I can use older editions as well. She is selling the newest one, so I'm thinking that would be more pricey anyway. Friday I went to work, it was alright...kinda boring....but oh well. I was going to catch the bus home and leave at 10:35pm. Sam showed up and surprised me though. He said that his last pay from the Hilltop turned out to be more than he expected and he would take us out for the night. We went to subway and split a sub and then moved on to Nickeyzees. He bought all the drinks. I had a keiths, a smirnoff ice, and we split a six pack of mini Corona's. We had alot of fun. We got home and he had bought some cheese cakes and pizza pocket things. Saturday I cleaned. Sam called and invited me to meet him for lunch at Mikes, his treat. I had shrimp parmigiana and a side ceasar. He had served us, so I left him change to buy a coffee as a "tip". I left and went home and remembered I had to pick up a prescription at shoppers. I wasn't happy with this particular prescription, so I seen that the after hours clinic was open, so I signed the sheet and waited to speak to the doctor. I was the last one to be treated, we talked and she switched my presciption. She also offered be my doctor while I'm in Fredericton. Sam came home later and told me he had bought a coffee and put a twoonie in one of those gambling machines. Turned out he won $80, so he gave me $20 of it. With my new found wealth I offered to rent a movie for us. We rented the movie "RV". It was a cute movie. There isn't a heck of alot to choose from. Anne Dance called me later on and invited me to go on the aids walk with her today. We had planned on hanging out on Saturday, but we both didn't remember til later on. I met up with her at 1:20pm today and we went to the campus to get registered. Anne had worked for the aids society in Ontario this summer, so when she seen that there was an aids walk in Fredericton she could think of no better a way to spend part of her vacation pay than to donate it to the aids society!! She's awesome. She handed me $25 to register and put another 25$ in to register herself. We got free hot dogs and apples when we got downtown. It was a really nice day today, kinda windy, but sunny for the most part. She invited me to a "girls night" this Saturday. She asked me to think of some "girly" movies. She has never seen "Pretty Woman"!! I don't know where I could even rent it or even if that is a "Girly" movie by definition, but I was shocked. By the time we graduate I'll make sure that she has seen it. I chatted with Gill for a few minutes on msn. Turns out that she is living in Fredericton and working at CIBC. She said she visited out west this summer, but didn't really like it. I'll have to give her a call some day when I'm either not working or off from school. Anyway I'm going to go make something to eat and have some cheesecake. Write later... :0)

I got back yesterday from my visit to Saint John. I had alot of fun. Friday we (Susan, mom, & I) went and seen the movie "Accepted". I had never heard of it before, but it turned out to be a funny little fluff movie. It was about a guy opening his own college for all the people who don't get accepted to other colleges. It was cute. We had a pizza that evening. Saturday we went out shopping to McAllister place. I seen nothing that I wanted. Mom got some nice new dress shoes at payless. They were much needed for her, she always wears those 5$ crappy slip ons that can't be to comfy. We went over to Walmart thinking that they would have the same stuff as Smart set, Suzy Shier, etc, but alot cheaper, but they didn't have anything! I bought one t- shirt and a tank. Later on Susan, mom and I went out to Cathy's house for supper and "girls night". Lisa arrived later. (BTW hope your feeling better) Cathy made a delicious dinner. We then had some creamcicle drinks, and bacon wrapped scallops. I had alot of fun. Sunday, Richard took us out to Breakfast at Cora's. I love that place. We have one here, but it's downtown so we never get there. Lisa invited us to go to the movie "Crank" (I think that was the name). We went to see that at about 2pm. It was the weirdest movie ever. There was no story line or point. Just alot of stupid, bad jokes. This guy gets poisoned, for some reason, and he goes on a killing rampage. That's it. Mom and I then went to Giant Tiger at about 4:45pm. I found a wack of stuff to get. I got some nice tanks, a new blazer, some dress shirts, and some ink cartriges. If I would have had more time I probably would have found more. OnMonday we had a nice Ham dinner. Sam came over from his parents ( he came down on Sunday) and spent the night with us. The bunny did great on her visit to SJ. I had to take her since Sam wasn't going to be home. Gizmo was very friendly to her. I got home yesterday around 2pm. I didn't feel like going into work, so I called and told them that I had missed the bus from SJ to Fredericton. My number comes up private, so they won't know. I'm going in today to make up my hours. School starts tomorrow. I have 3 classes. (right in a row) My earliest class is 10am. I'm really excited to start school. I'm glad it's my last one, but still excited. :) Anyway I'm going to go get dressed and make something to eat....write later. :)
