Welcome!
Here is the journal of a newlywed in her early 20's in Central Alberta, Canada. Moving to Calgary during August.
In September you will get to hear my ramblings about going to University also. I am in my 3rd year of Natural Sciences (minor: Biology and Chemistry). I switched programs after 2 years in the Education (teaching) program.
Mostly my daily happenings, as well as some articles and quotes I found interesting enough to share!
Hope you enjoy your stay, and please let me know you were here!

Im now trying to catch up on all the housework from the weekend...I promise to return later today
and do some catching up.
Just out blog hopping and found yours. I hope your wedding is everything you ever dreamed of. Stop in sometime!
Well, it's been quite awhile since I've posted. I don't know if it's that I haven't had the time, or I just have nothing positive to say right now. I'm still feeling pretty depressed right now... I actually think it may be SAD (seasonal affective disorder), or just the fact that I'm stressed out to the max, and I don't really have any way of dealing w/ my stress, so it just builds up.
School is still difficult, I did get a tutor for my calculus course, which has helped a bit, however I am still positive that I'm going to fail. There's just too much to catch up on, that I don't think I can, and I just don't have the time to right now. I have to concentrate on my other classes too. Good news is there's only one month left of classes! Yay! I can't wait till Christmas break! Oh, I guess it's actually "Winter break" now... Christmas is a bad word nowadays... well I won't get into that right now though.
My part-time job is going OK. It's really quite boring actually, but hey, it brings in a badly needed paycheck! My boss is expecting me to work around 40 hrs a week over Christmas break. I really don't want to, I really need some time to myself to unwind, but we really could use the extra cash too. Especially at that time of year. I did up a "household budget" last night. Turns out we have -10 dollars every month! Awesome! Well, not so much. It's pretty depressing actually. I hate being broke. Well, I don't think anyone actually likes it! But it's a hard adjustment to make for us.
Anyways, not much else is new really. I have a 4 day weekend this weekend, so that's exciting! I don't have much planned, I have to work 3 out of 4 days. And I have 2 big tests next week I must study for.
Chris's cousins came down last weekend and two of my friends, so we got to party it up! It was nice to finally socialize again! That's one thing that's been getting me down, is the lack of friends! I find it's really hard to meet people here. And especially at the university. It is so big, and all the classes are so huge (hundreds of students usually) that it's hard to meet people. At least I have labs, which only have about 25 students in them, I've met more people through them, but none of them are real friendships, just peers.
Well, I should go. I'll try to make more of an effort to get in here!
