Where to, most likely?

**KrazyHorse** · June 13, 2006, 05:21

God knows. It all depends on research and faculty appointments.

**KrazyHorse** · June 13, 2006, 05:22

UBC would be pretty nice in the field I've narrowed in on...

**notyoueither** · June 13, 2006, 05:22

So it could be the States still?

Seriously, this marriage name change thing is a case in point. Feminists decide that a woman changing her name on marriage is an outmoded, paternalistic tradition. So the government makes it impossible to change your name on marriage.

People get afraid that the French culture in North America is going to disappear. So the government makes it illegal to post signs in English, or for French parents to send their kids to English school, or for businesses to operate in English.

Great

****ing brilliant.

It's not just children of French parents, it's children of non-English parents. Even if those children are immigrants that speak English, but not French... but I showed them, I lost their stupid accent, and now I'm obliterating all traces of it.

Hope not, but there are simply not enough top-flight schools in Canada to guarantee anything.

Either Vancouver or Toronto would be what I'd wager on if you come back to Canada.

That means UofT or UBC, pretty well.

You lived in Quebec?

Quebec is like the eastern half of Indiana.

Having lived in both, I don't quite understand this one

Yeah, and there's a decent chance I'll be living there again.

**notyoueither** · June 13, 2006, 05:34

Why?

That's because your mind doesn't operate horizontal like mine.

**KrazyHorse** · June 13, 2006, 05:36

Awesome.

Because clearly, -40C is soo much better than the 30C we're going to see this summer here

No, but seriously it is a long, long story, most of it involving me sucking at life.

**notyoueither** · June 13, 2006, 05:45

I'm just sort of curious as it seems that you are a Brit-American-Canuck-Brit and about to be Canuck again.

You might suck at life, but I haven't heard many stories like yours recently.

And of course -40C is superior to anything else on Earth. It is a right of passage, and those who can't get about in it are unworthy.
