Just another day

So, parently, it has been awhile since I have updated this thing eh?  I have gotten my 4 out of 5 marks back.  I have gotten an A+ in Pysch and Law, A- in Corporate Crime, and a B+ in Women and Violence and Ethics and Law. I am still waiting on Biological Origins of Behavior. That is the one I wrote on the first day of exams!

Germus is gone to the states until Christmas Eve.  I miss him like crazy,  but it gives me a chance to spend some time with my mom and dad.  My sis and I have been getting along really well lately.  It's pretty amazing.  She let me do her hair and makeup for her semi-formal last night.  She looked gorgeous!

I am so excited for Christmas.  Well for two reasons.  Germus comes home on the 24th and we get presents!!  It seems the old I get, the more excited I get.  My mom said last night that as long as I am alive, my grandfather will never be dead around Christmas. I guess I am exactly like him around Christmas. 

I have to work tomorrow and Friday.  I work tomorrow 1130-2, to cover Angie's lunch and its a short shift because they have nowheres to put me because we just did renovations.  I work Friday 9-12 because the office is shutting down at 12 and they need me to cover the front desk!  Tomorrow is also payday!! YAYAYAYA.

This week has felt like its one day ahead.  Today feels like Thursday, but if it were Thursday then I would be at work right now!

Colleen Aimee and I exchanged presents last Friday.  Colleen got me a necklace with a picture of the three of us ungraved in it (absolutly gorgeous), Aimee made me a collage of different pictures from the year (Absolutly gorgeous too).  I got the two of them the Angel of Friendship and lip gloss each. Then we went to the Pacifico where I got hammered!!  Yeah, he didn't make it to the rest of the bars to say the least!

Sar and I excahnged presents yesterday.  She got me 4 little drinking glasses, 4 little thigns of Baileys and a giftcard to halifax shopping centre.  I got her some whoopers, a bottle of Bailey's, and a Willow Tree ornament, the Angel of Friendship.

Anyways, I think thats all I want to say!

Merry Christmas!

I have two midterms on Wednesday and they are both full of lots of information I need to know. My brain is just flowing with woman abuse and corporate crime and they have NOTHING to do with each other. Grrr. Anyways, I had to resubmit a paper, got it back and got a 4 out of 5. Go Lynnie! Hmm what else? Life has been pretty nuts. Helping Kel get through her breakup with Timbo. They just call me Dr. Lyndsay. :)

Went to a hockey game last night with the engineers and Colleen. Lots of fun and lots of drukeness. One guy in front of us got kicked out. That was rather funny because he was annoying and a bit of an asshole. It was actually the highlight of my night. Luke was in a speedo, definitly made the night even more interesting. That was definitly a conversation starter!

I've been going into work one day a week lately. I usually work Thursday mornings before school. It keeps gas in my gas tank :D. I didnt get a chance to work last week because I had a paper and midterm. That wasnt too pretty either. I've just been stressing about EVERYTHING lately.

I've had my LSAT's and law school on my mind alot. I've been palying the "what if game". Thats not too much fun. Actually its not fun at all.

I must start my christmas shopping soon. I have Nat's Baby Shower next weekend. Should be interesting because I have never been to a babyshower before. I'm a babyshower virgin. Should be fun! And... speaking of babies. Michelle and Jordan come home next Wednesday! I cannot wait to see her. I havent seen her in like 6 months and I can't wait to see her little baby. I love babies!!

Anyways, these are just ramblings of an unsound mind. So I think I'm gonna stop.

Jeremy and I headed down to Cape Breton last Friday. It was the first time I had been down in over two years and the first time he had ever been down. It was a really good trip. We went and visited alot of people and junst hung out with my uncle and aunt. Jeremy was in his glory; we went to the miners museum and my aunt and uncle live on a coal vein so he went and got some coal. Unfortunatly, we had to go to a wake. My nan's best friend died Friday and the wake was Saturday and I thought I should make an appearance on behalf of my family. Nobody knew who I was until Paulette said I was John Robert's Granddaugther then they all knew who I was! We headed back Sunday, and man, let me tell you it was a loooong ass drive, esepcially when you are the only one driving!

Friday is Momus' birthday and Jeremy is making her some sea food chowder. YUCK! I havent got her birthday present yet, I think I know what I am going to get her. It is not going to be anything extravagant because I spent alot of money on their anniversery gift which is on Monday.

I told them at work today that August 25th would be my last day because I want some time to myself before school starts and I have to get ready. They had no problem with that and I figured they wouldn't. I will probably work over Christmas there and random Fridays that they need me.

I have schoool schedule figured out and I am only taking three or four crim courses this year. I am taking some psych's and philosophies in there as well. After this year I am done my crim degree. But i have to come back for another year to do my arts degree and then hopefully its off to law school!!

My allergies have been SOOOOO bad this year. I have been getting wicked sinus headaches and it royaly sucks because I can't concentrate at work.

Anyways, I think thats all I have to say for now!!

Last week was the longest week of my life. Jeremy left for the states on Tuesday and it just feels like he has been gone forever!! He was suppost to come back today with his dad and grandfather but instead is flying home on Tuesday night.

This weekend actually turned out to be really good, alot better than I had anticipated. Friday night was our office party. We shut down the office around 230, had some drinks and such then went on the Harbor Hopper then back to one of the lawyers houses for supper. It was so funny watching these professional people do jello shots. I would have to say that Jim was the funniest or even Brenda, but it was a really good time. My sister came with me since Jer wasnt home and she said she had a really good time, so I'm glad she came with me. Last night, Nat and I had a girls night. We went shopping and then to the movies to see the Lake House. I highly recommend it. Afterwards we went to Wal-mart and then to Tim's and talked until about 1130. I'm telling ya we talked about anything and everything. It was so nice getting my frustrations and feelings out and to someone who actually understood. Its hard to believe that shes gonna have a baby. I feel so bad for her though because her family is giving her a really hard time.

So, next weekend is the long weekend, 3 day weekend!! Yippee. I think the plans thus far is Gina, her boyfriend, Jer and I are gonna hit the fireworks (whether permitting) then were gonna his some bars and just hang out. Danielle is gonna come with us if shes not going home. But that is subject to change.

Anyways, I think thats all I have to say for now!

I was at work on Tuesday and I got a call from my mother informing me that the doctors gave my uncle 24-48 hours to live. So needless to say that kind of wrecked my week. Mom, Jer and I all went down to Middleton Tuesday night. We first stopped off a the hospital to see him. I am telling you it was the saddest thing I think I have ever seen. My uncle was a 200lb Military man and that man laying in the bed was not my uncle. The man laying in the bed was about 120lbs and paralyzed on one side. He had had a stroke the night before and it totally fucked him up. It was so hard to be there seeing him in such a vulnerable position when I have always known him as being in control and tough. The only reason why I knew him was becase his tattoo on his forarm. His eyes were so hazed over. I felt so bad.

After we left the hospital we went back and visited with my aunt for about 2 hours and then went back to the hospital to say our final goodbyes. I couldn't say anything because I would have started bawling and I didnt want to upset my aunt. But seeing her with him, it was so sad because shes holding on to false hope. She has never been without him. They have been together since they were like 17. As mean as it is to say, I just wish he would go to end his sufffering. I am just dreading that call because I know I am gonna start bawling and I really dont want it to be at work. Nobody should have to watch and wait for someone they love to die, to end their suffering. I can't even imagine what they are going through. I don't know what Id do if that was one of my parents.

As I was saying to my mom, I almost wish I didn't go because now thats how I am going to remember him like that laying in the bed so helpless and vulnerable and just waiting to die. Its haunting me. Everytime I think about it I start to cry. I felt so bad. I couldnt say anything or even touch him. It's almost like a big cruel joke. I just can't get his face out of my head, looking up at us so helpless.

It's hard to imagine that there will be no Uncle Collin with Aunt Chris. I honestly can't imagine it. It such a sin and scary at the same time because hes only 10 years older than my mom. I'm telling you, seeing someone that close to death really makes you be thankful for what you have and question your mortality. It definitly gets your mind going...

Work is absolutly amazing!! I think I have the best job in the whole entire world that a student could have. Every Friday at four, we shut down the office and start drinking. Its the best atmosphere to work in. I can come and go as I please. The people I work with are so incredible. I just love it so much. But the best part is no nights or weekends!!

Umm.. what else? Well its Mothers Day and the Gulliver's and Harnish's went out for brunch, then I cooked supper. Well I prepared it and Jer cooked it.

Speaking of him, things are so incredibly amazing between me and him. We've been together for over 2 and a half years and everyday I keep finding something more I love about him. I honestly did not know you could love another individual so much. It's insane.

Anyways, I think thats all for my update.

( My ding a ling )

A lot of things have happened since the last time I updated my journal. The first and foremost is I got my car!! Yes, I got my Acura RSX. Mom and dad suprised me on Thursday with it. I nearly started to cry, only because my mom almost started to cry. It such a nice car. I love it sooooo much. My second big annoucement is I got at job at a law firm. I start May 1st at 9am. I am so scared its not even funny. I don't know why but I just am. I think its because I have never worked in an office before. All I've ever done is retail and in retail you cant pee without permission. I'm assmuing that this job is going to be a little more laid back than Canadian Tire or Home Depot. The only thing I don't like about it is it is five days a week, but the only thing that cheers me up over that is the mooola. It's 10 bucks an hour and 40 hours a week... Well you do the math.

Thus far, I have gotten two of my marks back. I have gotten two A-'s in Death and Contemporary Crim. I only have one exam this semiester and it's on the 20th. Its for the Canadian Criminal Justice System. It shouldnt be too bad. Michelle wrote it in 45 minutes and thats with a couple bathroom breaks as well.

Anyways, I think thats all I have to say for now...
