I fear for the state of Canada's educational system or Mari gives a geography lesson

[fun_like_that]

A girl struck up a conversation with me while I was waiting for the bus. I rarely, if ever, start talking to someone first, it's always the other way around. I try to avoid random bus people, whatever.

So we got to talking about the city and the buses and whatnot, she mentioned she was from Toronto and the buses go there every half second or something so it's weird coming here where they only go every half hour. I mentioned that it was still better than where I was from, so I didn't mind. She asked where I was from and I said New Brunswick.

She replied, "Is that far from here?"

*facepalm*

This is Canada:


#1 is where I am now. #2 is where she's from. #3 with the big freaking red circle is a PROVINCE. There's only 10 of them to go with the three territories, for Jean Chrétien's sake! There's 1035kms between Toronto and New Brunswick. There are 3487kms (2167 miles) between here and New Brunswick.

So yeah. It's far.

In other, more hopeful news, my laptop shipped today and it should be here by Thursday. I feel like it's Christmas and I should go to bed OMG RIGHT NOW so it comes faster.

How was your Monday?
