Technically I am still a 'foreign poster', despite my desire to nationalize as an American. I'm a Canuck expat.

I'm a graduate from a history program in Canada and I teach in high school. I got tired of subbing and getting treated by the staff like I was a pariah. I had some very nice teacher friends who kept getting me work ( so they could take some breaks), but I never got my breakthrough for a fulltime position.

So I left for Texas, make more, teach in a private school, and enjoy myself wholeheartedly!

Just have to wait for the paperwork, and I'll be able to naturalize.

Did I mention the scorpions? And the beetles? Nobody drives a mini, because the beetles will carry it away!

And the heat is something else. If you're outside during the day for more than a few hours without air conditioning, you'll die. And nobody will find the body.

Look at no country for old men - you really want that?

Queens? You have my sympathies. There aren't even any pretty girls out there. At least if you're going to weather the storm it helps to have eye candy.

Heh. Mine had seen No Country for Old men. She came down to Austin in March and was amazed. "It's so green". "I can see why you love it here!"

No, I grew up in a rural area, and that's why I came to love Texas. I had missed that living in the cities and I look forward to being able to move out of where I am now back out to the countryside.
