Hey!! I slept in today and I'm feeling great. So....I went to go meet my seminar group at 12pm this afternoon and no one was there. None of them. I had actually written to a guy in my group that I was goint ot be 15-20mins late and to let the other group members know. He said he would. I don't know why he would say that he would if we weren't going to meet?! But whatever! I think we are going to meet before our presentation in front of tim horton's, but I can't get ahold of anyone, cause we only exchanged email addresses and not actual phone numbers. I'm done my part of the project and I worked really hard on my part. I really hope that the others pull their own weight. I would hate to get a worse grade just because they didn't do their parts. One guy said that he wanted to tell the class that he welcomed their input and wanted an open discussion of ideas. I said that it was a good idea, but now that I've worked with him, I think it's just because he doesn't want to prepare much and is hoping a discussion will make up for his slacking. Oh well, at least this will be my last year of having to do 'group projects'. If I have a job where group things are a part I'm sure it would be facilitated to each member who is responsible for what, and they would be judged on completion of their own task. I'm hoping. I wonder if my crim theory professor will have any of the midterms marked by tomorrow. I'm hoping he will, it would be nice to get back a good grade (I think) before going to present something in front of people. I just checked my email account, still nothing from the people I emailed. Whatever....come to think of it I also have a group project to do in my gender studies class. One girl in my group is so mean and bitter about everything. She looks like there is something permanently foul smelling under her nose. She is so snobby. She kept talking about a project where she did all the work and her other group members did nothing.....wine...wine...wine....she probably wouldn't let anyone put in any ideas, she's such a control freak. I am not looking forward to trying to work with her. She said that she told the proff that the other group members did nothing, they got marked really bad and she got a really good grade. If she does anything like that with our group I'll go to the proff and tell her I don't want to work with her and would feel more comfortable doing my own project, with no other members. This group work thing, is just a bullshit way for professors to have to mark less!! That's all it is, like we aren't paying enough to have our work evaluated independantly of others?! These group presentations seminar things are what we are doing for the rest of the year, with one book review. (for my seminar class) Then, after my month of doing work for school, I have to make up hours at connect and somewhere in there I have to find time to do some christmas shopping!! Anyway gotta go do some readings.....write later.......

Sleeping in... I remember doing that. Maybe in a couple weeks I'll be able to do that again. ~_^

I've been so busy I haven't even had a chance to even think about holiday shopping. Is there anything you need/want?
