I wrote my Reading and Writing Second Language Tests today. I feel good. I expect to see at least a B and a C come of this. Actually I think I did well enough on the Reading to possibly merit an Exemption. 

I was conflicted to see only three women in the room to write the test. And by three, I mean one of them was me. I was disappointed that not more women made it this far in the competition. I am happy because it means I'm almost assured to get a position via employment equity providing I didn't tank on the test (not that I'm not already a prime candidate).

Okay, I sound conceited now, but whatever.

Government staffing processes are sort of akin to being dragged really slowly across miles of sandpaper.... are we done yet?

Having an boyfriend who only spoke English helped me a lot.

But with all the latin you took, it probably gave you quite an edge when it came to French. If you think French verbs are fucked, try Spanish ... they had my head spinning and are the reason why I stopped taking it after four years.

Sometimes I fool anglophones but it's rare because I still have some slip ups with certain sounds. Mind you for some reason everybody in Montreal seems to think I'm anglophone. Maybe I've "assimilated" the "english canada look" and don't know it o_O

You know, Isobel defiantly comes across as an Anglephone.
