Just Another Friday Afternoon

Hello my beloved blog readers. 

Just like last week, I do not really have much to update anyone on. Life has been pretty uneventful. Which I suppose is good in someways. It sure leaves a LOT of time for me to work on Biology. Although, it is pretty hard for me to find motivation, and keep motivation, to sit down and actually do it. 

So, I have two new-ish things that have happened or are going to happen.

1. My grandpa and Linda are on a cruise. I, as well as many other people, get daily e-mail updates from my grandpa. Linda is taking courses on some medical things, cardio/vascular, infectious diseases, not sure what else, but I am looking forward to hearing about it all eventually. 

Today, they arrived in Callao which is near Lima, Peru. I can't wait to hear more about their trip and to see more pictures. 

Here are the pictures that my grandpa has sent me:

2. I have heard from a few people about a website called BzzAgent (pronounced BuzzAgent, in case you are wondering). So, yesterday I looked into it more, and figured I would give it a shot. 

What is it? You may be thinking. Well, it is a website that you go to, create a free account on, answer questions about your interests, and eventually get invitations to join, what they call, campaigns. Each campaign is for a different product, could be cosmetics, skin care items, hair products, cleaning supplies, food items (coffee, coupons...), pet supplies, and probably close to anything else. Once you join a campaign, you get that product mailed to you and you get to use it. It's free. All you have to do is review the product, honesty, and post your review on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, your blog, or talk about it with your friend face to face. You just have to get the word out. BzzAgent encourages you to be honest when you review the products or talk about them, which I think is a good thing. 

When you review products and get feedback from your friends and family, you get "BzzPoints" that go toward your "BzzScore", the higher your score, the more campaigns you get invited to and the more products you get to try!
I just joined yesterday, so I haven't gotten any campaign invites yet, but, when I do, I will be reviewing the products on this blog, on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr. A lot, I know. So, look out for my reviews, they will be coming soon, hopefully. 

The weather here in Lethbridge has been pretty back and forth, but, I have been told that it is typical for Southern Alberta around this time of year. Two days ago, the first day of spring, it was 59 degrees Fahrenheit (about 15 Celsius) and sunny. Yesterday, it was around freezing all day and snowing. Today, it is below freezing, but it is sunny out and no snow. We will see how tomorrow ends up. 

Now, to get working on some Biology. YAY! :)

Hope all is well with everyone else. 

Dear People of the Internet

To all of my fellow blog readers, however many of you there may, or may not be, I have set aside time on Fridays to write a new entry. However, I am not sure that I will have something to update on each week. So, whatever comes to mind is what will be posted. 

Today is my wonderful, best friend, Kevin's birthday. He is old. Really, super old. Haha, not really. I really wish I was in Michigan today to make him a cake or something. Oh well. 

Some good news: My citizenship application has been taken out of the investigation that it was in. The investigation could have taken up to 2 years, so I am really happy that it is no longer being investigated. Now to just see how long it takes. 

During the past week, I decided I was sick of the black in my hair, it is just too dark and was taking way too long to grow out. So, I went and got a bleach kit, and bleached my hair. It did not turn out how I wanted to, but that was expected since I was trying to go from black to blond. It did turn out a lot better than it could have, and I like the lighter color better than what it was.

This one is after bleaching it 3 times.

Anyway, I am still trying to make plans to go visit Michigan in August, we will see how that all turns out as time goes by. 

Hope all is well with everyone else! 

73 Days and Counting

I have now been in Lethbridge for approximately 73 days. If I had to chose between Michigan and here, I would honestly pick Lethbridge. Just wish my friends were here with me. 

Now to start with the actual update.

My beautiful baby sister, Carrie Alexandria was born January 25 at 11:37pm. She weighed 5 pounds and 9 ounces, being born 2 months early, she was a pretty big baby. Everything is going really well with her. Carrie is right on track for a newborn baby as far as development goes, she is not behind at all like most preemies are, which is a blessing in itself. I cannot wait to meet her. 

School: I got accepted to the college for the LPN program :) Not my first choice, but it will be just as rewarding as the RN program. I start in September. In the mean time I am taking a Biology course online to upgrade my existing high school education. I have to finish it by August 1st, but I honestly don't see that as being a problem. 

My birthday was February 15, I turned 19. My grandpa, Linda, and I went to their condo in Columbia Falls, Montana for the weekend and did some shopping, well, 8 hours of shopping. 

To cure myself of my boredom since I'm unable to get a job, I have been babysitting and cleaning for family friends. It has been getting me some money to spend and save up to hopefully make a trip to Michigan this summer.

Not sure if there is anything else to update on, but I do need to start updating more than over a month apart.

Hope all is well with everyone!
