I have decided to give my two weeks notice at connect. I'm pretty excited about my decision. It was just feeling like I didn't ever have any free time. Mondays I have a day and night class, Tuesdays I have 3 classes, (and have to do all the work for those classes right after class) because I have a class on Wednesday and work, then on Thurdays I have 3 classes again, do any other assignments and homework for those classes, Friday I have 1 class and work. Then every other Saturday I work 10am-6pm. I also have alot of group work this term and have to squeeze meetings in. I feel exhausted by Sundays (but still have school work to do). I have something due every single week in November, sometimes 2 things due. I'm going to offer to come back in December and make up my hours, cause I only work 10 shifts a month, so when I'm off during the holidays I can still make up the hours. If that isn't possible I'll just give my notice. If I ever wanted to wrok there again, it wouldn't be a problem. A guy in my traning class was on his 4th time being there!! :) I took a crime and the media class this summer past and I did a webpage on sexual assault and women's fear of it. The same topic I'm doing fo rmy interview, so I sent it to Jackie so she can have some news stories to talk about during our interview!! Your not supposed to give your interviewees anything, but I'm not gonna tell my proff and she'll never know any better! Ha!! So we are going to do that on Saturday after I get home from work. We did the first one at Tim Hortons and there is alot of background noise, so I think it'll be good that we do another one. (either at my apartment or hers) Then I get to do the glorious job of transcribing the hour+ interview (verbatim!). I wonder if there is something I can get off the internet that would allow me to plug the tape recorder in and a program of some sort put it into text. That would be great! (if anyone knows of any programs like that, let me know). I have to get ready for work and let Snowball out for a hop, so I'll write later..... :)

I am So Proud Of You!! It was a hard desision, but I know you made the right choice!!
School is the most important thing right now, and you shouldn't be stressed out worring about going into work when you have all that home work to do!!
Relax a little!!!
You need that every ones in awhile!!
