Title: Update ahoy!
Post by: Saladin on November 14, 2012, 02:02:31 PM


So, what happened to you people the last 2 or 3 years?

Had a rough year last year when every part of my
life more or less imploded (which included the death of a parent).
I'm still living in the south of Sweden never took my degree but
I'm getting by pretty ok.  :)

Good to see you back! :)

Nothing has changed much around here, I'm still in Quebec, Neil is still in Alberta, CdM is still glued to the Walking Dead.  It's the same old Languish, with occasional "Languis is dying thread" or "Wich galactic aircraft carrier is the best" :)

 I've become a much happier person, and a less political one. In the last two years I also took up sonnet writing, as well as drinking truly prodigious amounts of tea. I am looking to work in Japan in the very near future, and continue the pleasant modesty of the existence I enjoy now.

It's on institution basis. I'm in Montreal.

I have received my letter of admission last August and I'm scheduled to start on the first week of March 2013 on my personal file available online. The test at my institution was in July. It's once a year; you fail, you have to start it all over again. Trust me, there are a lot of applicants and the third of them actually pass through, so I wouldn't wait.

Early last October I received a call from my school institution offering me to start two weeks later as they had an opening, but as I didn't make any arrangement for student loans I couldn't join at that moment. That said, knowing the number of applicants it meant that I was among the first on the waiting list.

Howdy Sal, good to hear from you.  :)

Moved up a bit in the place I work; leading a pretty large project, travelling to various places in the US to meet with super-highpowered clients and do super-highpowered things with them in a super-highpowered way.

Other than that saving up my money and counting it every night like Ebeneezer, doing the Friday night karaoke thing.  No real life adventures; I went to a dry wedding during the summer.  :(

I wonder what strange wind blew both you and Count NotDeMoney back to Languish around the same time?

You can go to my plumbing school if you like we have to accept all applicants, though i doubt it covers foreign nationals? We do have a regular trickle of Swedish nationals... so perhaps canucks are fine as well.
