Oh gosh, as soon as I get out of highschool I'm never taking french again. Years of french immersion have killed any sort of love for the language that I have.

Given the quality of french-teaching that goes on in french-immersion and regular schools, I'm not very surprised at your french-dropping plan. It's really hard to enjoy a language outside its cultural context, ergo my hatred of spanish.

And in spite of U of T's stellar reputation it's too close to home (Oakville) for me to seriously consider going there. I'm sure I would love being taught by your father, though.
