In my country you don't need to know English to do anything. I could become a member of parliament without speaking English if I wanted to.
That said, the clas average in my english class was like 72 and I think I got maybe the 3rd highest mark out of 32, so you can shove it lol. English courses aren't a cakewalk in Canada like they are in America, as proven by the diction and syntax of the average American AFer.

kissimmee Florida. The only place we could get 'cause we booked so late for a Holiday weekend. The resort was okay (my parents are obsessed with timeshares, I think they own a total of 5 now

) but probably the worst one we have been too in the past 5 or 6 years of timeshare owning.
But I don't mind because this crappy vacation (and it wasn't crappy, just not as nice as the others) paved the way for kick-@$$ vacations starting in 2010!
That's why my parents paid 80 grand this time around

They went to a meeting and ending up purchasing a 3 or 4 (can't remember) bedroom lockout in the new Planet Hollywood resort in Las Vegas. The only reason they really bought them because these units are going for 100k a piece and the building isn't even finished with construction. The only reason they could get them at that price was because they (Westgate) forgot to close an offer they had made my parents years ago about the same units, and so by law they had to still offer us the same price. Which is sweet!
These new timeshares are corner units that can connect to one another or lockout (so we could rent the studio or something) and have a 270 degree view of the Strip. In each unit there is an 100 inch screen that can comes down from the ceiling as as flatscreen TV's in the dining room and bathrooms. I am not sure if we have a lanai, only certain floors do. But the view is going to be amazing regardless!
And it's built over a casino, in 2010 I'll be 21 so I am soooo looking forward to staying in these new units. I've stayed in some pretty nice places over the years, but this new place looks way beyond anything I have ever stayed at.

3 years. Nah I didn't stop taking the class. I skipped A LOT but I still took it as a bird course if you know what I mean. The class was moving slow so i started learning on my own, outside of class. If I didn't take my initiative, I'd be speaking Spanish like:

We almost moved to Arizona when I was in middle school, but my parents decided to stay in Ohio because at the time, our local schools were rated highly. after I graduated, funding became a problem and now the schools aren't as good as they used to be.
My parents are planning on relocating out to New Mexico once my littlest sister gets college situated. He would have moved sooner, he was banking on quasi-retirement, but the government yanked that from him just a year before he could have done so. So now he has to totally rethink a 20+ year plan he has been working towards. Sucks.
My older sister is planning on following them out to New Mexico. Not green enough for me there, I want to move around the San Fransisco bay area but might have to move up the coast a little since future hubby hates hot weather. 75 degree average is the hottest he'll go. Blah.
