    Hehe, I think most Canadians are aware of this, to be honest with you! I can't stand Quebec pronunciations. One of my best friend's mother is from Paris, and her French is just beautiful. I would like to become fluent in French, but being from Canada, it would be Quebec French *sigh*.
    It's quite similar to comparing some German from Germany, and some dialects from Austria. Austria's German is much more smooth, and flowing, as opposed to German German, which is more harsh and hardcore sounding!

    Anyways, I'd like to learn how to bake fancy-schmansy pastries! Sometimes I wonder if I'm going to school for the wrong thing. Something inside me always tells me that I want to drop out of my program, and start all over to become a pastry chef!
    Have my own little cute shop in downtown Toronto, selling cute little pastries to everyone!

    Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.
