So, where was I? – Oh, right.. right where I am right now…
My primary concern right now is finding a job. It’s been increasingly frustrating looking for jobs when it’s always blowing in your face with the same answer – "Sorry. You need to know French to work here". Oh well… Don’t give up just yet, Gal.
So I signed myself up for a French course. Thankfully, the French courses in the Quebec district of Canada are free – sponsored by the government to attract people to the language. (I guess they know otherwise no one would bother. No one loves the French, do they ? 
)
)Have a exam on Wednesday to find out what level I’m gonna enter at. The beginner levels were all filled out, but I managed to talk them into register me for the intermediate levels – wow! who would have figured that my 7th grade French lessons (which I took for only a year in elementary school would prove so beneficial this far on? – I actually remember things!)
Another thing I’m doing now is getting my Canadian driver’s license – exchanged from the Israeli license. This includes a driving theory test, and a skill test that’s supposed to take about an hour or so.
So I did the theory exam (easy enough), but unfortunately, didn’t have an official translation of my Israeli license (Thanks sent to the Israeli Ministry of Transportation, which stupidly enough writes everything in both Hebrew and English on the license, but the type of vehicles allowed to drive, which is only in Hebrew.
True, they have a "type 2", but here passenger cars are considered type 5, so what gives? also, "type B" for motorcycle license is inscripted with the Hebrew letter "ב", not corresponding to anything here. Thanks again, guys. Well, so I’ll have to go back to the SAAQ (the Quebec dept. of Motor Vehicles) for that. Scheduled that for Monday (translation to be done on Sunday).
That’s all for now.. stay tuned for more…
