ashley's and my other housemate-the one who owns the house we live in, has not come home in over 2 days. We haven't heard from her and ashley saw her once yesterday for like 2 minutes and then our housemate left the house. We don't know what has brought this on, but we have our suspicions as to why. However, dispite the potential circumstances, it doesn't excuse the behaviour of a 35year old woman. So, Ashley and i had to make a decision and what a decision it is.....we have decided we are moving out and moving to ashley's parents house about 30 minutes south of the city for the rest of my time in the province.....we don't deserve this sort of treatment and the tension is almost unbearable....plus the nice thing is that we don't have to pay any december rent because we are leaving before then.
As well, my car is in a mechanics garage once more because it isn't shifting gears automatically properly......it went in this morning, and i just recieved a call from them, and they are still unsure as to what the full problem is....doesn't make me happy when we are suppose to be moving tomorrow evening after school is out.
Well, i better go and start my 30 page report and power point presentation that is due next week, but i need to pack, call work and tell them i won't be in tomorrow and start my assignment...only after i finish the good book i'm reading! I'm almost done it.

11 days until End of Term!

Hard to believet that it is rushing to an end so fast. There is still so much to do in the next 11 days that it is still a bit overwhelming. I have 4 assignments due on December 1 (3 of which i am proud to say are already complete!) and then I have 2 assignments due on December 7 (which actually both are done because they were short), and then I have a 30 page formal report (not an essay), Final exam and 20 minute power presentation due on December 8th. I think i have most everything well in hand and am quite happy with myself, but i haven't started anything yet for my December 8th stuff. I am aiming to start that project on monday. And as of this morning, it is 2 weeks until i get to go home for a few days before i have to come back and write my other final exam. I am looking forward to having proper hugs from my family, spending time with my housemate ashley in a different setting and seeing loads of people i haven't seen since before i went to camp! Well, the time is getting away from me and I need to do some more assignment writing and work this afternoon is looming up on me.

Nursery Rhymes

I woke myself up this morning somehow by humming a nursery rhyme. My nursery rhyme was Ba Ba Black Sheep: Ba ba black sheep have you any wool? yes sir yes sir three bags full. One for my master, one for his dame,one for the little boy who lives down the lane. Ba ba black sheep have you any wool? yes sir yes sir three bags full.
Question: When was the last time you sang a nursery rhyme?

Third Wheel Syndrome

I lately have been feeling like a third wheel to most of my friends here in the city. Most of my friends are people i've only met since May and they in turn have their own friends and now most have boyfriends or fiances. They of course invite me along with no qualms, but it doesn't help me from feeling like I am just along for the ride because they feel sorry for me. I know that this isn't the case, and more than likely just my imagination, and may be an attack from the devil, so i'll keep on pressing on!

The stove & oven have finally been cleaned! Which i must admit is an extremely nice thing to have back in use again. Yesterday at work, i had to give my two week notice because i'm of course quitting to be moving back home. A few people were quite upset at me, but in a good way if that is possible. Hopefully when i move back to Winnipeg yet again in September, I will be able to come back on staff there. Other than that, things have been uneventful. I have been strugling with the thought of having to move again and then in 6-9 months move yet again......can i stay in one place for longer than 6 months? My life just feels like upheavel right now. Oh well, I do know that God has placed me in each of these places for specific amounts of time and I know he is teaching me something through each one along the way. Well, i should go get ready for uni...i only have one class today, and then it's off to Canadian Tire with Ashley to get my head lights fixed cuz one burnt out and then i think we are meeting our friend Kallen later on at the shopping centre, so that should be a good afternoon.

Weekend with Ashley.....another one!

Well, this weekend and week in general has been quite interesting. As many of you know, my roommate who owns the house ashley and i live in has gone quite control freakish....our stove which she started to clean almost a week ago still has not been cleaned and she won't allow us to clean it either. Meal times have not been mine and ashley's favourite part of the week. I think she said her plan was to have it cleaned up for tomorrow at some point.
Yesterday, Ashley went with me to my christmas party at work. It was strange and weird, but we made it through. Today, we went to see the new Harry Potter movie. It was excellent and a very well done movie. It had funny moments and was definately more intense than the previous movies. It sure didn't feel like 2.45 hours long! For supper, ashley and i were given a gift certificate and extra money to go to the Olive Garden. It was soooo nice to eat properly for a change! Now Ashley and I are having a Harry Potter movie marathon because she bought the first 3 on dvd this afternoon. Tomorrow is church, work and coffee with a group of people ashley and i aren't sure we want to meet up with, but that is story for another day!

Feeling Stiffled

So, today one of my housemates Ashley and I had ourselves a snow day. This means that I didn't venture to go to uni at all today. We were having ourselves a great time until our other housemate who is a teacher came home 3 hours early because she school cancelled classes for the afternoon. Ashley and I were in the middle of making construction paper christmas decorations and we know this housemate will not appreciate our efforts. It literally felt like time stood still until we realised she was home. We made a made dash to clean up and put away everything because we don't want to decorate until we are able to put everything up at once. This housemate (who owns the house) comes down a little earlier this evening to give us some more rules for the house and questioning things and we knew nothing about. In the last few weeks she has gone really perfectionistic on us and it's starting to feel like we can't really live here. Despite the fact that we have a full foot of snow on the ground since yesterday, we are not allowed to play in it in the backyard because she doesn't want to ruin the perfect look of it. Even the dog isn't allowed to run around the back yard during the winter, and he's a huge dog! I'm hoping it is going to melt over the weekend :) So, things are starting to get a little tense in the house. I'm having a blast with ashley and she is a huge blessing, but we are coming to realise that our housemate was very umpreparred to have people living with her, and i don't think she has adjusted too well overall. I think i am begining to like the idea of moving home in 3 weeks (which i am). Just please pray for a huge load of patience for Ashley and I, as well for the chance that we can have to decorate the basement for Christmas!

Blizzard Days are Here

The snows of winter have once again started to fall on Winnipeg. I was called soft today for not wanting to drive in the snow because of not being in Canada for all the snow last year. Coming home from work today took me 45 minutes when it usually only takes me 20 minutes. Well, i better stop feeling sorry for myself and adapt, or else i am never going to make it through.
I got to get away for the weekend...i went to Kleefeld once again to be with my roommate and her family. it was so nice! we watched movies, made christmas cookies and christmas cards...plus i was able to write and finish a paper in the process...only 7 more to go before December 7th!
This week i have my work place christmas party already! Not quite sure what to expect of it and not even quite sure what to wear for it. I'm not sure how dressy i want to get. At least i have until Friday to decide.....talk to you all later!

So, my meds have finally kicked in which i am very thankful for. I am not feeling what i term 100% yet, but i have been making progress! I have a follow up appointment on monday morning with my doctor.
My weekend thus far has been alright. I went shopping and out for coffee with one of my auntie's who lives here in the city. It was good to spend time with her. I then went to her house for dinner and got to see my uncle and cousins. After supper i hung out at the house with my cousins and then my one cousin and i went to see the movie Jarhead that had opened yesterday. It's a very crude movie, but it is based on a true story and gives a good depiction of what military living must be like. Plus a few of the lead actors aren't bad looking, so it was somewhat easy on the eyes!
Tomorrow i work all day and the same goes for monday. It should be alright. Sundays are usually easier days to manage. i just realised that i only have like 15 more shifts there before i have to quit. The time is going to go super fast though because of all the assignments i have to do between now and then.
Speaking of assignments, i think i should go work on a paper that is due on thursday! Ciao

I have done what I promised on my last entry, and I took myself off to the doctor. I am not very familiar with any doctors in Winnipeg, so I randomly choose one and set off to go see him. I think God helped me pick him because he is definately a very nice bloke. He is the first doctor in a long time who actually took the time to listen to me and he didn't rush me for the sake of time. And then he asked his own set of questions to me. It felt so good to finally sit down with a medical professional and have him talk at my level and actually show some compassion. As well, I have new medication!! no more prednisone for me! That is a huge relief because that is brutal stuff...now i am on the drug Asacol. It's going to take a few days for it to kick in, but i'm hoping to see an improvement shortly.
Yesterday i was working on a paper that is due later this afternoon, and i was saving it to my desktop at first and then when it was finished, i went to save it to my disk. It was a brand new disk and a message pops up saying the disk is full and all of a sudden, my whole paper is wiped blank...nothing left of it and it couldn't be recovered. This happened at 10pm and it was a 7 page paper! So I had a little cry, got myself under control and sat down to rewrite it. Amazingly it only took me less than 2 hours to write it again and somehow it ended up being longer than the original....I don't think that means it might be better though. Anyways, i was much relieved to know that I was going to get some sleep last night which i did. Now all i have to do is print off my paper and it shall be complete!
Hope everyone has a great day!
