And also.

I've had a cold, ever since I started studying for finals. They just love me, I tell ya. Anyhoo, so I'm all stuffed up, and I stumble upon this great website, and it says it has a cure for my ever stuffed nose! So I'm all like YAY! and give'r nuts reading it. WELL. In 8 ounces of warm water, mix a 1/4 tsp of salt, and 1/4 tsp of baking soda (to counteract the salty flavour). And squirt it into each nostril until desired effect. Now, I haven't been able to really breathe out of my nose for the last...oh, three days or so, so I'm all over it.

Weirdest. Feeling. Ever. Swear to Allah. But it worked like a charm! Although there was one drawback, it dried out my nose like a beached fish on a hot sunny day with no clouds. SO here I am, smearing my friend's "All Naural Bees-Wax Based Lip Balm For Naturally Soft Lips" all over my nose. Not to mention the great depths therein. Feels weird, but not as weird as the salty-bakingsoda-ish water. And it's raspberry scented, so it's not too bad either.

So all in all, I would consider it a success, and I give this home-remedy for stuffy noses 4 stars out of 5.

Just some pictures I've taken :]

Yikes.

School is getting hectic. I've got four finals/midterms, a ton pf papers, and two presentations all due next week. Almost quit my job yesterday. UGH. At least I have a desk now, to do my homework on, instead of the little tiny laptop table infront of the TV. I really hope I can cram all this in and still maintain my grades. We'll see.

Well, it's official.

I suck at blogging regularly. And also, Carl and I have been married for exactly one year today, and it's Thanksgiving today! We're going to go to the zoo, and go to my Moms in Airdrie to stuff our faces with turkey. Hopefully the weather gods will treat us well. I could reflect on all aspects of our marriage this past year in this entry, and I could analyse it, and blah, blah, blah. But there are wonderful smells wafting from the kitchen, and I just feel like enjoying this beautiful morning with my beautiful husband, as we start another year together. It has been quite the adventure, and things are only going to get bigger and better from here on in. I'll try to keep updated in here a little more often, but for those of you who are, or have ever been, students on post-secondary, you know how much life it sucks out of you. I'm sure I'll be able to find some time. <3

And the cycle of life and death continues...

..my grandfather passed away today at the Lethbridge Hospital. It's been a long night. His funeral is the same day as my cousins wedding on Saturday. Thats going to be a very emotional day. Sigh.

There's Just Some Things In Life...

..that just make you really reflect. Certain books, music, movies, things like that. I'd have to say that one of my all time favourite movies is Finding Neverland, where Johnny Depp stars as J.M. Barrie. We studied this movie in grade 12 English. It is one of he most amazing movies I have ever seen. I learn something new almost every time I watch it. I've seen it about 20 times, and it still stirs up some emotions that I can barely explain. A nostalgia of my childhood, as well as my last year of school...it's absolutely, I know this is going to sounds gay, but it really is a "magical" movie. The soundtrack to this film won an Academy Award, and is very deserving of it too. I absolutely adore this movie and how it makes me feel. Watch it. See how you feel. Then tell me about it :]

College Stuff.

So I went to the Franklin Station Bow Valley campus for a little "mini-orientation" of sorts for Practical Nursing. It was awesome. I got to meet a bunch of wonderful staff, who answered a ton of my questions, and were just so helpful. There were donuts and stuff too. Mmm. There were about 50 students there, and we all got to tour the place, and see some equipment and stuff. There were some textbooks that we will be using there, and I grabbed a Psychology one, and just sat in a desk and read it for about 30 minutes. Lol. I'm going to get my list of books asap and buy them as soon as my school money gets transferred to me. Hopefully within the next few weeks :D GAH I've never been more excited to go to school in my life! ^_^
