♪♫ God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings - Barenaked Ladies Ft. Sarah McLachlan
I'm home sick from school, so I thought I'd write a blog while I'm trying to feel better. I'm quite nauseous, dizzy, and I have a headache too. I'm not sure what caused it, but my best guess is that the food I ate last night wasn't clean and/or fresh. It was at an open house at the college I'm attending for next year. Speaking of the open house... I got the $500 bursary for when I start college! They're deducting it from my tuition for September 2016.
I said in my last blog that I was done Christmas gift shopping, but I ended up changing my mind a bit... I bought two cute little snowmen figures for my paternal grandparents. I'm going to spend Christmas with them for the first time, so I figured I should buy a little something as a thank you! And... I bought a little angel pin for my maternal grandmother. It has a cute little poem that I'm sure will make her tear up a little. All I have left to do is take her to a store to let her pick out something (money in a card is too impersonal), then I'll be completely finished Christmas gift shopping!
I also bought a box that will hopefully fit all the gifts that I ordered for Kara, BJ, Bentley, and Ava. I'm mailing it to them, since I moved out of the city. I just hope it doesn't cost too much to ship. Anyways, I've only got a couple things in there right now. I'm still waiting for the rest of the stuff to arrive. I also bought some cute green wrapping paper with snowmen! I thought it would be best to use green wrapping paper, since the box is red. I can't wait to complete the box and send it! They're gonna love it!
On an unrelated topic, I've been dealing with facial acne, which has been frustrating. I've always had very clear skin, so I don't know why this is happening now! It started up in the summertime, and just hasn't gone away. I did get an acne wash at the pharmacy, and I've been using it for over six weeks... but its not working! Ugh! I'm waiting to get an appointment with a dermatologist, which is taking forever. In the meantime, I'm playing a game of whack of pimple with my face. Every time I get rid of one, another one pops up somewhere else! Its making me very self conscious. Does anyone have tips for this?
That's about it for now. I'll leave you with one of my favorite songs for this time of year!
Edit @ 3:35 pm: I ended up purchasing a new phone not long after writing this, so I thought I'd just add this bit in. I've needed a new phone for a while, and I don't have a lot of money to spend. I usually just get a prepaid phone for around $100. But they're really cheaply made, and they usually don't even last an entire year. So I was browsing different sites for phones, like I've been doing for weeks, and I came across the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime on Best Buy's website. It was $40 off (I think its a Black Friday deal), and there were only 22 left in stock! It was double the price that I normally pay, but the features are way better than my old phone. I finally just decided to do it. I haven't touched my savings for a long time, but I decided that this is something I need, so I allowed myself to buy it. I also bought a phone case and two screen protectors from EBay for less than $10 combined. I love good deals! And the sellers are both in Canada, so everything should arrive fairly quick! I can't wait!
