good weekend!!

I had a really good weekend, Friday I did a little reading, and chose all the Supreme Court cases I was going to use for my take home final, which I am still working on right now, because I decided to go a huge cleaning spree, which I will explain in a moment. So, ya that was mainly Friday, then RJ came up after work, and we had quite the adventure to McDonalds and the grocery store, who knows why, but everything is an event with RJ and I hehehe....then we came home and ate the grub....and watched some tv. Saturday we went to the mall, and I did some more christmas shopping, and RJ bought some gifts for his chris-cringle at work, he got some really cute figurines, I think he bought as many as we could carry, hehehe...but they are really cute. Then we went to dinner at Caribou Creek (cheapest meal ever), it was really great food, and we even had dessert (still celebrating our anniversary hehe) and the meal was under 40 bucks when does that ever happen ya know!!!

We came home and watched 8 Crazzy Nights and X-Men 2, 8 crazzy nights was actually really good, I sometimes enjoy Adam Sandler movies and then other times, you can't pay me to watch them, but this was really funny, although RJ was right the sisters voice does kinda burn a hole into your brain after awhile, but it was good times -- we had already seen X-Men 2, but we wanted to watch it again and see the extra footage. Then we usually try to get to bed by 12ish, because RJ has to leave at 6:30 am, cuz he has to be at work for 8am -- but do you think either of us could fall asleep, nope not at all....I think we were up just chattin until 3am.....it was crazzy, but oddly I didn't feel that tired this morning.

Now, I am just working on my take-home finals, I have one due on Wed and the other the following Tuesday, but I have to get them both done this week because I have two more finals next week, which have tons of information, I wish we could just study post-midterm, but oh know, apparently my brain and memory can absorb 300 pages of information, but oh well at least I will be comming home really soon......I can't wait, I am really getting restless here this year.....I thinks because I know I am almost done, and then just the worry of work is about to begin right hehehe!!!

Well I should run, I am gonna do a bit more work and then I am gonna get to bed, gotta go to the doctors at 8:30ish tomorrow for some bloodwork, yicky!!!

toodles all -- hope everyone had a great weekend!!!

Opps

Hey All,

Opps, I hadn't realized I haven't posted anything since Monday, it hasn't really been that busy of a week. Like I said I finished my last paper on Monday, so I have just been relaxing a bit, before I enter into finals yick!!

So, I had my final class for the semester today, he let us out early too, so that was great, I was actually home by about 12:30 sooo whooo!! I recieved my paper back last night on distance education, and I got a 92% ahhhh, I never do well on papers, I mean I think my ideas are okay, but I tend to have trouble expressing what I am trying to say, but I think its getting better. Then, today I received by politics paper back on the right to counsel, and I got a 78%, which I knew it was not a great paper, because I had a lot of trouble finding information, and then expressing it - once I found some stuff on the Supreme Court changing members, I had already complied all my cases, and they really didn't fit together well, so that I think kinda contributed to the 78% but oh well, what can ya do.....now I await for my psyc paper, which should be post online by the end of this week I hope!

Now, I just have these take-home finals to contend with, the only thing that I really don't like, is that we have to hand them in to the department office, and I dunno, that really worries me......because I like to know that the professor has it, ya know, but oh well hopefully it will be okay!!

Yesterday, I was just having a crappy day, do you ever just feel bad for really no reason, who knows why.....I think bordem does that to me, cuz when I have things to do I never feel that way, yesterday I just read and finished off some notes, and watched a lot of TV, so maybe thats why I just started thinking about everything that bugs me....weird though eh!!

Anyways, I should go and make some lunch, I think it will be hot dogs again, I am on a crazzy hot dog kick lately, who knows why, but they are really good!! toodles

I will probably post after CSI tonight !!! later all!!

always Liz :)

SO, whats new!!!

Hey Everyone,

So, today I finished my last paper for my advanced topics in criminology class and I handed it in....woohoo, only problem was that professor handed out the take-home final tonight and boy is it a dooozie, I mean its only two essay questions, but one is a summary of entire book for the course, how do you do that in 5-pages, please and the second questions isn't as bad, its similar but you can pick out the important topics of another book. But, I am not touching any of this until Thursday when all my classes are done, cuz I need a break. So, finally recieved by presentation mark back, and I got an B+, whatever that means, but it sounds okay ya know! Heee

Anyways, on to more important stuff, tomorrow (well actually in 30 mins) is RJ and mine 2 year anniversary, and I would just like to say happy anniversary, and that my life has evolved and been changed forever because of the last two years and what your love has meant to me. I justed wanted to thank-you for your continual support and affection, because you mean the world to me.....I love you so much and more than you will ever know....thank-you sweetie ....I can't wait to see you on Friday night, have a great week !!

I will post later tomorrow, good night everyone

my weekend!

Hey Everyone,

Sorry about not posting Friday, but ohhh man was I not feeling good at all....I had a horrible headache, caused by a horrible stiff neck.....I dunno what from but I was in some serious pain. But, by Saturday I was pretty much back to normal.

Saturday was fabulous, RJ came up to Guelph and went Christmas shopping.....I know a little early but, I will do anything to get a free drive to the mall......I hate taking the bus, I mean going there is okay, but when you have your hands full of Christmas stuff, the bus is quite annoying and then walking back to your residence oh man....its ridiculous....so anyways.....we went shopping, I mainly bought a few things for my parents, and just looked around for other stuff. I did however, finally decide what to buy RJ for our two year anniversary thingy, which is this tuesday, I bought him the game cube, don't worry he already has it, because there is no way I could hide it from him and secondly I won't see him on Tuesday, cuz I am stuck here in Guelph (but i hope he likes it, and that he doesn't forego sleep to play it, cuz I have a feeling he will). And, then RJ bought me an adorable outfit from my favourite store, Fairweathers ahhhh, I am wearing the fuzzy pants right now, they are soooo perfect, so thank -you sweetie!!

So, by the time we got out of the mall, it was still too early for dinner, so picked out some movies, and then bought some dessert for later, and headed home, to watch a little tv and of course set up RJ's game cube hehehe.

We decided to go to Pizza Hut for dinner, cuz I have been promising to go for awhile, it was crazzzy busy there, the odd hostess was like it will be a half an hour wait at least, but at 6-7 ish in Guelph, that is how long it takes to eat anywhere, so we decided to stick it out, and it really didn't seem that bad......but the best part, was since they were a little behind and they were out of pepsi, we got 10 dollars of our meal, which is like gold to RJ and I. So two pizzas, garlic bread and drinks was 20 dollars - when does that ever happen......so that was awesome......

We got home, watched Lara Croft 2: Cradle of Life and Hulk (which we saw in theaters), they were great, although it was my roommates b-day and she had a few friends over, so I kinda felt bad that we were watching tv downstairs, but they left for the bar, just after 9, so I hope they weren't too bored, but my justification is eh, she is always watching tv, so blah, I pay for it too hmph, okay I am done heheh!

Which leaves me today, Sunday, I went out for breakfast with my parents as usual....then we dropped off the movies from last night, and then we bought Raider some treats and a toy from the pet store, like every sunday, that dog ownes more things then I do, and he is 6 months old...hehehe......once I got home I chatted with RJ when he got in from work, and then I did some research for my last paper, which is due tomorrow night, and then I am done for another semester ahhhhhhh, well except for finals.......but I can't wait to come home for Christmas its gonna be great!!

Well I shound run, its almost 8:30 I still have to start my paper, I mean I have everything ready, I am just not feeling inspired today, but I will try my best hehehe....I hope to update tomorrow night!!

today so far......

Hey Everyone,

Well I finally finished my constitution paper, you know you can only say sooo much about the right to counsel and after 15 pages, I was done. SO, I had to wake-up at 6:30am this morning to finish the rest of this paper off....before 11am.....I only had a page left to finish but it took forever and then the conclusion, which I pretty much just dragged out, to make it fill up the required 15 pages hehe..me bad!! So I printed the stupid paper out at 10:30, and then decided I think I will take all of the library books that I borrowed for this paper back at the same time, big mistake, I think I injured my back in the process (mental note, do not carry 8 heavy constitution books again !!), but oh well they are all back, and I have 1 paper left to do until finals.......ahh excellent!!

I have two take home finals this year, kinda new, I have never had one of these before, I mean I kinda greatful because eh no studying, I can sit at home with my notes, and text and finish the finals, but then I think oh no, profs know we have our books with us, so they are gonna make these quesitons impossible......so I am happy and worried all at the same time ya know!!

Hmm what else is going on......oh I finally called the clinic, that does blood pressure monitoring, cuz my doc recommended that I get my blood pressure checked, because every time I see her, my blood pressure is sky high, but I truly just believe it is the stress of the doctors visit, I am always afraid that they are gonna find something horribly wrong with me, and then my parents wasted all this money for school for no reason ya this is the way my brain works...........so anyways I left a message and they are suppose to call me back, I think the receptionist lady was on lunch or something when I called............I am sorta glad to get this over with though, just in case there is a probably, cuz my doctor was sorta freakin me out, she was like if you blood pressure is spiking and then dropping, we could have some horrible problems, because it is slowly weaking my heart....so needless to say, this will be a relief either way once the results are back in.

Well I think I am gonna get some notes done.....and I will probably post more tonight, after CSI of course, because my world stops for CSI heheh!!

toodles all!!

Scary Stuff...

Well this morning I received an email from the Guelph Police warning everyone on campus that was an attack Sunday night in downtown guelph, where the victim was raped by two unidentified males.....so they are recommending that all female students not walk alone at night......scary eh.......and of course I have two night classes a week, just my luck !!

I will post something else later......gotta work on my paper and then get something to eat .....toodles

always Liz :)

my night class!

Hey Everyone,

Sorry I meant to post something before my night class, but I got a little busy, well not really busy, but Oprah and Dr. Phil were good today, so I was sorta distracted tee hee my bad. But at least I got all my typing done today that I had to do......I had 3 class notes from last week that I still had to type, so I decided that is what I would today and get some reading done....so at least I accomplished something today!!!

Sooo, my nightclass, let me tell what an experience this has been....we have this new professor who was just hired this year and probably got his Ph.d oh about two year ago, so ya he is really young....I mean he is a nice guy and all, but he just has been making everyone mad in the course. First, of all he just starting give out our presentation marks, which are 40% of our final grade, the group who went in the 1st week of school, just got their grade in the 11th week of school..insane ya I know, secondly his participation marks are based on attendance, no more then 3 classes missed and you must talk at least a few times a class which is somewhat difficult because there are two presentations, which run an hour and 1/2 each....so sometimes its hard to get involved and finally, he is giving us this take-home final which is alright, but he is making it soooo difficult, he is giving us 5 short answer questions and we have to write two pages each.....instead of just one or two essays, that are 4 pages long, which is what most profs do....but oh know this guy has to be difficult -- so many people in my class have complained to the chair about this class, so I will keep you up to date about where its going!!!

Other then this horrible night class, my day was good.....my mom had the day off from work, so we chatted this morning for about an hour, which is good, cuz I love to chat in the morning, but I never can, because there is no one around.....then I did some work, then I watched some of Jaws 4, the Revenge, ya a really cheesie movie, but eh its the only thing on at 1pm in the afternoon.......I finally made some dinner around 3:30, I had some yummy fettucinni alfredo, then I called the RJ to make sure he was awake for work....and we chatted for a bit, then he had to go, and I watched some tv before class....and this concluded my night.......so I hope everyone had a great day, and I will post something tomorrow.....while I am writing my right to counsel paper, oh ya good times!!

toodles
always the liz :)

Busiest Weekend .......Ever

Hello Hello,

Okay, so I know I said I would post another message on Friday, but I was just too crazzy busy.......I felt like I was never at home, even though I was technically. So, RJ was super nice to pick me up at 1pm on Thursday so I wouldn't have to wait for my dad until 8pm, once he was done work, so I got home my 3:30pm.......which was good because then I good just chill for a bit, and then get some work done. So, I stayed up really late that night, because our new puppy Raider, is kinda annoying to sleep with, he thinks because he is up and wants to play everyone should be up......so I thought eh, I will stay up as late as I can with him, so my parents can actually get some good sleep tonight, without him jumping on their heads in the middle of the night....so I guess Raider and I finally went upstairs around 3:30 am .....but I though eh, I don't have to start work until 12pm, the next day, so we can sleep in until 10ish, take Raider out, get some food, and then leave for work......But, oh no..........my boss calls me at 8 in the morning, wondering if I can come in 10 instead because she messed up on the schedule......so that totally messed up the rest of my day, because I felt like I was running behind on everything and I got like 4 and 1/2 hours of sleep....to make it even worst!!!

It was sooo nice to have Friday night off though......I think for the first time in probably a year, I went to Square One with my parents, so they had some dinner up there, I just got some fries, cuz I was having dinner with RJ once he was finished work......so we walked around the mall for awhile, of course stopping at the pet store, b.c my parents want to buy Raider a sweater for Christmas..and there were these little tiny King Charles Cocker Spaniels (which was the kind we were looking for before we found the Raider).......they looked so small and sickly.....I really wish that they wouldn't take them away from their mothers until they were a little older, I mean goodness, they were shaking and could barely stand up because they were sooo thin.....but anways thats the end of my rant. RJ called me once he was done work, and we decided to make some tacos for dinner and we rented Wrong Turn - which was very scary, because it was all about weirdly deformed men, who trap tourists in this huge forest area - the movie was pretty good, really gory, but it was like an hour and a half which is alway good for scary movies, because sometimes they just need to end ya know!!! heheh

Saturday was my moms' and sisters joint 40/60 birthday party......which was a great time.....but do you ever look around your family and kinda wonder why do we do this.....why do we get together, when everyone really doesn't like each other...I dunno if this is just exclusive to my family...but we have a great time at some event then, we end up talking about each other for the next two weeks....like I told RJ once we have a family, I am out, we are not going to huge Christmas dinners, or big birthday bashs, we will send a gift, with an apology as to why we can't make it...its done I am out....tee hee... I hate to sound horribly mean and all, but family stuff really stresses me out......and I just sorta think it shouldn't....ya know!!

Anyways, I have just been writing here forever, you must be tired of reading by now....so I will run......I hope to post more tomorrow, before my night class....alrightyroo.....have a great night and week everyone!!!

Always Liz :)

Yep, I am soaked!!

Hey everyone ,

Sorry about the late posting today, just been super busy.....I had to finish off my education paper this morning and I just was not that motivated to get going, so I didn't finish until 3ish.....which completely disrupted my everyday pattern (and kind of need) of watching Dr. Phil and Oprah..and then before I knew it, off to my nightclass.

My nightclass was alright, I have an awesome Prof. I have taken two of his other classes before. He just teaches well, and his exams are straight-forward which in 4th year is a must.......and even tonight he let us out early, because he felt that we all looked a little tired........but then I had to go to the library to see if I could find some US Supreme Court books, for my next paper (due in a week).......and it was sooo busy there (paper season)...so it took me awhile to find a computer, then once I did, I have to check my email its just that necessary, so then I realized man, I gotta get going, it was already 9:30......so I just ran to the third floor and got the books that I needed, then I was on my way home. AND IT WAS POURING OUTSIDE.....THERE WAS EVEN LIGHTENING.....so I was running (and I don't run), but still I got drenched, but now I am all nice and warm in my room....but now I must go and finish my notes from class.........but I promise I will right something earlier tomorrow.....cuz I am coming home for my sister's and mom's -- 40/60 b-day celebration -- ah good times.......talk to ya all later

1 paper down, 3 more to go !!

Hello Everyone,

Yep its true I now have a blog site as well......I thought I should get one, since I love reading everyone else's, and I figured eh...I could blabber on about my own stuff.....and give poor RJ a break hehehe, just kidding sweetie!

Umm so what's new, not much right now, since school is still pretty much consuming most of my life right now, and well that will be the case until finals. However, RJ and I did watch Finding Nemo and made chicken faijitas on Saturday night so that was great....I felt especially bad for him though, because he worked all day, and then came up to Guelph to visit me (soo sweet), and then he had to work again at 8am on Sunday - but that's why he is the best.

So, I finally finished this stress intervention policy assignment for my occupational health psyc class --- what a pain is butt, this assignment has been....we had to research a company and discuss their stress intervention policy within the framework of the course, well crazzy me decided to choose Ford thinking, eh my dad works there I could probably get tons of information, boy was I wrong. First, I emailed them, then they sent me a phone number to contact the person that deals with these types of issues - well it wasn't a person it was an answering machine...my mom left several messages for them, they never called back and they never sent any packages out in 5 working days like they promised.....so finally I had to go to my dad to see if he could get me some information, I mean I should have went to him first, but the thing is he is not really one of those people that are into detail......I say stress intervention policy for a school assignment, and he would say how much money do you owe me for school...heheh...so you see the problem......but anyways long story short.......I wrote down the info that I needed, and too my surprise, he came home with 10 brochures and pamphlets of information.....of which RJ was nice to bring to me on Saturday....so in the end it all worked out -- so I finally finished the paper today around 11am, I know my bad, its due today, but most of it was finished last night, just 1 more page and of course referencing had to be done ahhhhhhh what a sense of accomplishment........well sorta now on to my education paper on the benefits of distance education.....which is due Wednesday night errrrr!!

Heee......well I gotta go and make some food sooo hungry - I know its a super early dinner, but I have a night class and if I eat before I go, I feel kinda sleepy......3 hrs of corporate crime will do that to ya!!!

ps: RJ is incharge of making this blog beautiful (cus I dunno what I am doing) so make sure you all give him props hehehe.....

hi all
