Okay... well I'm here at UCFV... it would be a perfectly lovely time to catch up on some reading and such.. but I have nothing that I should be reading as I came totally unprepared. Meh.. what can you do? Just waiting for class to start.
Holy what a weekend. Friday I was at practicum and left at 5 for my VS Christmas party. Had some last minute errands to do, so I did that, picked up Ry and off we went. Decent meal.. it was cheesy.. but that's what VS is about apparently. It was funny b/c Ry was sooooooo bored, and I was talking to Dale (the cst. at my practicum) today, and he said.. omg! I hate the games Delaine (from VS) plays.. it's so boring so tell your bf he's not alone! lol... men!
Then saturday was doing a bit of laundry, getting our hair done, and off to Ry's X'mas party. Sure it's early, but Dec. is just TOO busy for them to take time off. Anyhoo.. we went to Joe Fortes in Vancouver.. OMG! it was AMAZING! 4 course meal.. it was the best!
Then we were supposed to go to Yuk Yuks.. which didn't pan out, but we ended up going to the lounge at our hotel.. (the Sheraton Wall Centre.. OMG! SO AMAZING!) and made our own fun. It was good times.. met some guy who used to be a NY Islander.. he's a teacher now, and a nice, smart guy who understood how completely retarded Americans can be! lol.. so we made some good jokes. I think Jordanna was diggin him ;)
So around 1:30 some of the men were goin to the peelers.. Ry and I were bagged, not everyone was going, so we figured we'd pack it in. We hadn't checked in and had to go get our car (with all our stuff in it) in the parkade at the restaurant. Get there.. OMG IT WAS LOCKED!!!!!!!
We waited around for 2 hours for security to come.. bastards! Sure it was open at 7am but we wanted our stuff, and we didn't want to get towed!
Anyhoo.. I was frozen, came back to our AMAZING freakin suite.. with pillows like air, comforters to die for.. and crashed. Then Ry got up early, salvaged our car from the parkade, and we slept til 9. Then after a lovely $20 room service breakfast.. got up and went home. There what did we do? NOTHING! omg! I feel so bad b/c I have so much work and reading to do.. but we did nothing but lie in bed, nap, watch tv, and nap some more. It was great and Cara and Nalla loved it! I think in over a year Ry and I have never really spent a day like that.. so it was nice. Too bad it was such a nice day out.. kind of felt like it was a waste.. but what can you do... it was needed.
And now I'm here.. was at my practicum all day.. walked part way here.. realized it was cold dark and foggy, and since I have no real jacket on I splurged the $5 to cab here :)
So that's my last bit of time in a nutshell.. Now b/c I was such a slacker this weekend my next week or so is going to be insane.. but hey.. the leisure was sooooooooo nice!
Dec. 3rd is superskills.. my dad, chris and taylor are coming down. We're going to take them b/c amazing Jehn has a ton of tix. We'll have some dinner after and then I think they'll go home Sunday.. I can't wait! It'll be fun! WOOOHOOO Canucks..
Stupid Lions! *angry fist*
Alright.. I think I've wasted enough time and I can head over to class now.
Have a good one everyone.. I'll talk at you soon.. When it's ALL OVER!!! (for the next while at least! wahhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooo!)
love ya!
Jen
PS... can't wait til February fun with Erin, Jen R, and Mel! YAY!!!
PPS... and of course.. JANUARY VEGAS TIME!!!

so...
I'm just going to rant for a moment..
people need to grow up and move beyond highschool. Life is so much more than knowing this person or that person.. especially when they were the cool people 10 years ago! Life is about treating your friends with respect, realizing when you are both wrong, moving beyond those wrongs for the sake of your friendship, and growing from the experience. It is not about making people side with you in your quest to be right, it's not about involving people who SHOULD NOT be involved so they can come from nowhere and bash your friend on your behalf.
There is a MAJOR difference between expressing hurt, betrayal, and anger with a friend and their actions, and continuing to beat them down, throw their feelings in their face, and treating them like garbage.
Aging is a process that we must get involved in. You can not sit and let it happen passively, for the next thing you will now, you will be 10 years older, and none the wiser.
I have been blessed to meet many people in my life time. I have not always treated them with the respect they deserve, or vice versa. Because of this, there are some people I no longer talk to, perhaps for the better, perhaps for the worst, maybe I will never know for sure.
What I do know is that I have learned to accept the good with the bad, attempt to admit when I am wrong (in some way or another), and take accountability for my actions. I am not a perfect person, and thankfully those who are my friends realize this. When I am wrong, and they know I realize this, they do not force me to beg before them for forgiveness. They understand how difficult it can be to admit your wrong, and they accept my apologies for what they know they are. It is not the words, it is the actions and emotions that mean the most. When words are all you have, you take those words and hold them close because they are a precious gift given by your friend.
I have encountered much in my short 25 year old life. Some of you know the details, others know just by having met me. What we experience makes us who we are, and we are reflections of our past. Luckily I have a past/present/future filled with an extremely extensive array of friendships that I value more that can be measure.
When I see someone blatantly hurt one of my friends, it kills me inside. Especially you... you are a wonderful and amazing individual. You have never deserved the treatment you have gotten.. .not just now, but in the past years you have endured much more than you should have. You are one of the most incredibly understanding and humble people I have ever met! You are honest and sincere, and don't you DARE ever let anyone say anything contrary. I would do anything to take those horrible words away.. to have people attack you like that is horrible, but I know you have the strength to move beyond it. You are so much better than them, and better than me, but you have always accepted me for who I am. I am blessed with your friendship, and know you will always have mine. No matter the distance, you are my little one and I love you!!
and to all my other friends out there, thank you for accepting me, loving me, and sharing in my joys and tears. I love you all more than you will know..

OMG! So I'm writing a paper.. due tomorrow.. big shock eh?
lol.. I had to work 10:30-7 today.. it was busy and it stunk.. but it was alright.. Anyhoo.. while I'm on my break Ry was all.. can you get Feb 10-15 off? I said why.. and he wouldn't tell me saying it was a surprise. So I'm thinking wtf? Because we're going to Vegas in January with Morgan and Mark so I don't think it's a trip.. so my mind is just reeling..
I get home and pry it out of him..
He wants to take me to New York for Valentine's!!!!! OMG!! HOW FREAKIN AWESOME WOULD THAT BE!?!?
It's not for sure yet.. flights are super cheap then b/c there's some seat sale, and he's found some pretty decent hotel prices.. so what do you know.. it might just happen!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Even if it doesn't.. how romantic! The thought was there.. that makes me happy!
I lvoe that boy..
Trips or no trips.. HE makes me happy :)

Ugh.. so I've been such an update slacker.. so I'm going to try and do a brief update in case anyone cares.. :P
So the other weekend I went on a ride along.. it was AMAZING! I loved it so much! I had a ton of fun with the cop I was with (Monty). He enjoyed my company and said I can come out with him any time I want.. just to give him a call. I am pretty stoked about that. Anyhoo.. not too much excitment.. but it was a great learning experience.
Had a midterm to study for the next day.. that didn't go well since I stayed out til 6:40am and was up by 10. It sucked.. but was so worth it.
Ended up with an A-.. not great.. but it's alright..
Had my Victim Services grad on Wed.. it was cool. The deputy chief constable was there, and said that Abby is going to be hiring 15 people by January.. so I'm getting ready to apply. Monty told me to apply, Dale (my practicum supervisor) told me to go for it.. .and if anything it will prepare me for the process in the future, b/c it typically takes a couple times to get in.. so who knows!!! I know I'm not physically ready.. but I'm gonna give it a shot. See how I do... *crosses fingers*
Anyhoo.. Went to New Westminster lastnight with Ry and had dinner and went bowling with Erin and Arone.. it was a lot of fun.. Something that we'll have to do more when we all have time. Also went for coffee with Jehn in the afternoon.. that was really great. I haven't seen her in a while.. I miss her, so it was good to catch up. Of course I do all these things while I should be writing my law paper.. UGH! lol.. oh well!
I think that's it for now.. I really haven't much else to say.. other than I have been busy.. sorry if I haven't talked to some of you in a while..
love ya :)
You are Franklin!
