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, I've been feeling pretty damn depressed lately, but that has changed! Things are looking up again! What was depressing the most was looking into the future of the educational path I had chosen. I was just so unhappy with everything about university. I felt like just a number, which I mostly was w/ most class sizes between 150 - 300 students. In college, my biggest classes were maybe 50 students. I also don't really like my classes, or the ones I have to take to get my science degree. Plus, I have met 4 people who have Biology degrees, that have all gone on to do further schooling in a different field because they couldn't get a job in their chosen field. Not too encouraging. I was thinking of trying to get into Veterinary school, but that would mean at least SIX more years of university, which I just couldn't handle. 
So I ran across a course offered by the Olds College new Calgary Campus, called Veterinary Medical Reception, an 8 month certificate program. I thought that would be great for me! I did enjoy doing office work at my last job, and if I could work w/ animals (which I love), that would be even better!
It starts in January, and runs until August. Then I would hopefully get a job and work full time and pay off some bills, then there is another course I'd like to take. It's a two year diploma in Animal Health Technology, basically a nurse for animals!
The next best thing to being a vet! Plus, even better, they have an online course option, so I could still work and get my diploma! I've finally got my life on track, and I'm happy with where it's headed. That was one thing that was really bothering me, I just couldn't find my calling, but I think I've finally found it! YAY!!
I'll find out tomorrow if I get into the Veterinary Medical Receptionist program, but I talked to the admissions person on the phone, and it doesn't sound like I'd have any troubles getting in. Plus they have really small classes!! It sounds like the max. no. of students would be 30! That's more like it!
Now I just have to get through this semester of university. I dropped my calculus course, it was just giving me so much grief and I knew I would fail it anyways! So I only have three classes. The problem is, I just have NO motivation to even go to class, because I know I'm not continuing with it. But I only have two weeks left of classes, then exams. Not really a big deal I guess. I can do it!
Anyways, I have to get back to my chores. Have a good one!
