Eh?

Ok, just a few things to appease the one persistent follower masses while I unpack my life in a new country. :P

Regardless of the fact my mother used to live about 2-2.5 hours away from all of my friends & other close family, the drive up to Montreal has flown (both times) in comparison. Both trips being 6+ hours. How do I explain this?

No clue. I guess interstates in NY and VT are more interesting to drive on than the pike? The pike is boring, I hate the pike...

Moving on.

I made it through customs. Was approved for a student visa, yay!

It's this fancy piece of paper that they fold in a certain way so it fits into your passport (where they staple it to it)

Which, I guess, means I should carry it with me everywhere? In case I am stopped or questioned?

Probably a good idea.

Might make going out to clubs a pain, though...not sure if it fits into my super-tiny purse (which is my mostly everyday purse...)

I seem to have moved into the french side of town, which is ok...not very challenging, for the most part everyone speaks both french and english. Really, this just makes me feel like an idiot...wishing I could speak french, and, at the same time, thinking I will never be fully confident in my ability to speak it (in general I am horrible at pronunciation)

So, we shall see.

Until my next post...I have way too much stuff...
