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.
