Hello Vista...

... it's been a while.

 Ever since graduation/convocation at UBC, I've been enjoying the no-midterm, no-finals  moments (sorry for those who are in the midst of exams atm, good luck ^.~). There is this website that UBC currently uses for material that is uploaded for each registered course.  Some courses have assessments, or mini quizzes.  For my current job as a lab tech, I must complete the Biosafety course, and the Chemical Safety course, just for administrative purposes. It has been so long since I had to study for anything, that I ended up not being productive whatsoever. I tried staying on campus to read, coffee shop, at home, nothing worked.

Savings account

So. will come back to add more details to this, as I currently have a biosafety exam to study for at the moment =/

My boyfriend and I decided to create a joint savings account, and after much researching on the interwebs (15 minutes), we decided on INGDirect.  It seems like a pretty good bank, good interest rates, no opening charges or anything.  Just like a free storage space. Just wanted to share this right now, as there's a holiday promotion going on.  If you join using a user's "orange key" (referral code, I'd say), you get a $25 bonus added to your account after your initial deposit of $100 or more. Furthermore, they add $50 extra for new clients.

I'll probably update after a few months and see how it goes.  If you'd like to grab the offer, here's my orange key.

 

Good luck~
