conuly(And a leap year... I just now realized that. Smart, ain't I?)
So I've been thinking. If the shrub-boy gets elected (won't say re, I refuse to concede the point!), I really don't think I want to stay here much longer... not until things change a bit. So I'm looking into overseas programs... even if the shrubboy doesn't make it, I still want to go a-travelling at some point, and if I can do it while attending school, so much the better. This time, I'm doing it right and focusing on linguistics programs.
[Poll #246930]
Please explain WHY you picked whatever you did.
As for myself, I'd most prefer to be in a country where you don't have to drive, people are fairly tolerant, and the cost of school/living isn't too high. Oh, and I could get a job. Strict requirements, I know.

Date: 2004-02-11 04:48 pm (UTC)Though I was amazed and kind of scared when someone said "Make sure all your american friends come!" No. Bad idea. I don't want that beautiful land to turn into the rubbish heap New England is turning into.
One more thing, real estate is nice and cheap, but jobs are hard to come by Nova Scotia. I would probably only live there if I was secure enough (from book sales maybe?). However, the life of a starving artist is more romantic than a rich one.
My second choice would be England, but it has to do with that my favorate authors come from the place, wonderful authors most americans haven't heard of. And I imagine there's all kinds of great stuff that doesn't make it's way over seas. I'd love to just go there to just read *drools* Also, I might be able to sell my books *grins*
Also, maybe Ireland, but mostly because I have so much Irish heritage (and my grandmother won't let me forget it). I don't think I'd live there, I'd just visit once.
