"I know that you wanna be Canadian"
Back in early September :
Teacher : So kids, I guess you already know that you are supposed to spend you second semester abroad, in an anglophone country, right ? :D
Class : Duh.
Teacher : Well things have changed this year ! You don't just study abroad and live off your parents' money like a leech while you pretend to study ! You're going to work. And that's all you're going to do. For 8 full months, and don't you come back to France before that.
Class : What, but, we were just supposed to go to school andmaybemeetnicelocalsandparty-
Teacher : So ! Websites of embassies...
So here I find myself looking for ways to expatriate myself. *sigh*
Aaaand... Canada has never looked so fine.
I still can't decide where exactly I want to go, but it would probably be in the Western part of the country. It's useless to go to Ontario if all I am going to find is a bunch of already bilingual people, right ? My speaking French isn't going to help there. Let me dream of a nice job in a French restaurant in Vancouver where I could serve crème brûlée and hopefully get tips because of my accent.
Man if someone had told me a year ago that I'd be looking for jobs in Canada... (Now I want to meet everyone who happens to live in British Columbia, and even California. There's no way I won't take advantage of being on the Pacific Coast and not visit California !)
