busy, busy, busy...

School, school, school, work, work, work, study, study, study, you see how my life has been going. Since I started this semester I feel as though I have been swamped with just work and guess what it’s only the 3rd week of the semester and there is so much more to come. 

Now, one thing I would like to discuss is what I want from this blog and what I would like to achieve. So, I started this blog in hopes that I would be able to figure out what I want to do in school and in life. The more I have started to follow more blogs and the people who run them, the more I love this community. I have figured out what I want to do in school or well I have for now and I am quite happy with the decision. I have decided on a Communication degree with a minor in english. I hopefully will be finished this degree in one year, hopefully, if all goes well and I put on my big girl pants and get my shit together. 

So for this blog since I have figured it out, I wanted to tailor it more towards a lifestyle and fashion blog. Mind you I would also like to update this blog more often then I do now which means that I will have to create posts beforehand and not last minute like I do now. But I really do love writing for this blog, I feel as though it gives me somewhere to spew my random thoughts. So for this year I want to have outfit posts and photos from my life and more stories. That is what I want.

In 2 weeks give or take I will be leaving my beautiful home to go to Edmonton with my mother to visit my brother, while I’m there I will try and get some beautiful photos. We will see! Besides just that as everyone knows there is the West Edmonton Mall, which I will be doing some damage in. I have not bought clothes in months and I can not wait to buy some. All the spring lines are coming out and I’m just to excited to see what will be trending this spring and summer!

Now on another note, I may have a very exciting announcement coming in February, I will have to keep you posted on it! But very exciting for me, I’ll know more soon and when I do, you will too! 

Sorry for being such a bad blogger, I really need to get my stuff together! Oh well I’m only young!

Thanks

Blackout 2014

Cold. Cold. Freezing. Cold. To everyone who lives in the Northern Hemisphere you might get to know what cold is. But to me cold isn’t just a mild low digit number in Celsius, cold to me is when you are waiting for your bus at your local bus stop and it’s 7 am and it’s -24 degrees celsius. I don’t know if you can understand how cold this is but well mind you it is very, very cold. So cold in fact that I could not feel my legs while waiting for the bus to come. I live in a very cold place during the winter, where some people think that having a little snow is troubling. How about you imagine that you have so much snow the snowbanks are taller then you could ever imagine to be.

At the same time I do really love Newfoundland, it’s a very nice place filled with lovely and friendly people but damn is it cold during the winter. This weekend a massive storm hit Newfoundland, where it sent this province into a frenzy. We had rolling blackouts since thursday, and on Saturday my home lost it’s power for a whooping 15 hours in total. With the weather being as cold and as stormy as it was the heat in our house was dissipating quickly. Obviously we survived this little set back or I wouldn’t be able to write to on a laptop but you see it’s not something that was fun. But thankfully because of everyone’s efforts been able to pull through. The power plant workers are trying to get everything back together through our power systems. We had 190,000 “clients” without power on Saturday, thankfully there are only 30,000 homes which are without power now.

But what I would like to say is the kindness of the people, everyone has come together and helped out, there were some businesses open yesterday in order to aid in getting supplies such as candles, lighters, batteries, anything that could help you in these situations. Schools have been postponed after the christmas break. We would have started today Monday but they did not want the power grid to surge again so they decided it’s best to keep everyone safe and not in school.

I’m thankful for the people who are working so hard to get us power and heat, without them a lot of us would still be in darkness. Thank you to every person who has helped a neighbour or family member when necessary. I am so thankful to live in the province. 

Thanks
