C'est pas toujours agréable de se faire appeler «belle inconnue».

I had my Spanish exam yesterday, so I'm done with exams for a few weeks now. Yay. The good thing about having only 3 classes in your semester.
I was really mixed up when came the time for the written composition. Somehow I couldn't keep my focus on the Spanish - I kept finishing my sentences in English. Which is a problem because English is so much easier than Spanish... that and I also am better at it :)
Anyways, so just to bug me, this morning while I worked I kept having random Spanish sentences going through my head. The only reason I wasn't thinking in Spanish was because I don't have enough vocabulary to do so.

I've been looking at the University options and all, for next year when I have to go back to school (sniff, sniff), and after having mentally tortured myself when I had to choose what college to go to, the Uni choice was very easy to make. Mostly because the Translation program is only taught at the University of Montreal and at Laval University, up in Québec city. Which isn't even an option. So, having no choice at all as to where to go, I decided I was going to the University of Montreal. Translation takes three years, and if by then I got really good at Spanish, I'll do one more year to get a "Translation of a third language" certificate.

All that remains to be solved is the transportation part. I wanna move out to the town where I go to school now, which is close to the metro. It takes 45 minutes to get to that Uni by metro. Which is very fine by me, given that I'm actually driving 45 minutes every morning to get to college anyway.
However, my parents don't seem to want me to move out. They say it's not worth it, that it's too expensive, etc, etc. My father says the bus just might be a great solution. I'll have to check the schedules, but I'm not convinced. Like, at all.

The hard part about moving that far away, as I said a little while ago, is that you have to find another job. It doesn't scare me, but it does put a little pressure on you when you know that if you don't get a job real quick, you won't be able to pay your bills and you'll have to go back to mom and dad's before you even lived 3 months apart.

Anyways. Just thought I'd let you all know where I stand. :)
