I am going to be on a three week hiatus.
That's right folks! I'm going to take an Intensive French course for the next three weeks at the University of Alberta. Spanish is wonderful, but the fact is, Canada needs more French teachers, and it's time to brush up and hopefully get my hiney out of this dead-end, mind-numbing job. French very well may be my ticket to ride!
I have no doubt I will make some short stops into NS from time to time, for like a true addict, cold turkey is just not an option. However, since it's a spring session course, I am going to be squeezing a full year course into three weeks, and you can just imagine how little free time I'm going to have!
I hope that a few of you will take it upon yourselves to TG me with updates about what's going on with you, and what's happening on NS...you all know how confused I get when I'm gone for just a few days...imagine how lost I'll be after a three week absence!
I am both excited and feeling a little trepidition they aren't letting me into the beginner course because I took French 30 TEN YEARS AGO!!! I have to go into the intermediate level, which is taught completely in French, but I have to believe my language skills are up to the challenge.
Oh, hey Fass....I might even decide to learn how to read and write in French, BUT NEVER IN GREEK!!! MUAHHHAHAHAAHHAAA!
Please everyone, don't let me come back to an NS full of strange new posters!
Edit: Today, Friday May 6th is my LAST DAY FOR 3 WHOLE WEEKS! ARGHHH!!!

Bye Sinuhue, I hope you'll visit us when you can. Good luck with the language classes.
It's also going to be quite interesting to go back to University after five years of some pretty serious life changes...I have a feeling all the other students are going to seem really young to me...
Bye Sinuhue, I hope you'll visit us when you can. Good luck with the language classes.
Mercy buckets!
I will be on NS today and tomorrow, so don't worry about the tearful farewells yet, folks :D

Best of luck, Sinuhue! We'll miss you, but try and drop in when you can.
Edit: Oh, you're not going yet. Well, good luck anyway! Sounds like great fun, and a great opportunity.

Au revoir Sinuhue, et bonne chance!
If you need some help, there is always Ariddia's French thread, or little ol' me.
BTW, if you can, visit the Rockies!

Ah! Bon chance!
Bonne chance!
(Having classes taught totally in French is not so bad. I studied French last year...after 6 months, halfway through the course, the classes were totally in French. And I passed. Barely :P)
Ah have a good time Sin :)

I had that once. Had to have an operation for it! :D

Hmmm...what's with all this 'be safe' stuff, guys? What exactly do you think I'm going to be doing at University? (thinks back to what she did last time she was at University and nods in understanding)
Oh. Well.
No, not this time:)
But I DO get to see George Thoroughgood on the 18th....
...then again, I'm going with my parents :D

Unacceptable! Utterly unacceptable! oh wait. Usually you start at least one interesting topic a day, so just give me the roster for the next 21 days and I'll put it up and telegram you the highlights! :D
Oh, and speaking of telegrams, one coming in roughly ten minutes.

YOU WHORE! oh wait, wrong person, my mistake.
oh, I sent you another TG, but it was only a clarification of something I said, not actually anything grand and new or something.
But you still haven't given me the next three weeks topics for me to print up :D

I am very jealous. This was my school of choice for my major in Paleontology. But, I can not afford paying the additonal fees for foreign students. No doubt, you will have quite a wonderful experience. Good luck.

feminism in the West - overrated
second hand smoking - totally hip
ways to improve sex within a relationship - porn, and lots of it
how to raise children (an everyone give advice or ask questions thread) - very carefully
how to go 'green', discuss cheap alternative energy - breeding electric eels is the future
youth activism - stop them before they outlaw cooties
LGBT appreciation/discussion - I always appreciate these discussions
feminism in developing nations - good luck
another sexual topic - (_(_))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))D
spontaneous acts of kindness - makes me giggle
aboriginal issues - the bane of cdoriginals existence
a discussion about belly lint - and the variety of flavors it comes in
:D

Well...I suppose...let me hear you do a good lioness roar first though...

IN MY HEART, I THINK A WOMAN HAS TWO CHOICES: EITHER SHE'S A FEMINIST OR A MASOCHIST.
How was that?

"three week hiatus"
who do you think you are fooling?
euphemisim for drinking and sex binge.
(Beyond the normal drinking and sex that is compatible with General NS.)
