Slick:
Why Canada, Jace? Are you thinking of moving here?
Jace:
Yes actually! I am quite unhappy with America overall and I have heard some good things about Canada, also it is pretty close to America so I wouldn't have to deal with a huge change (except for the maple taffy based legal system allison has told me about). Also, albeit very unlikely, I'd like to hope that I could get a grant from Canada to go to school and then work there.
StaedlerMars:
I have just submitted my dissertation. It is 72 pages long, of which 52 are solid text. That's 18,000 words. Alongside this I have submitted about 2,400 lines of code.
Man, this is a relief.
Next up: 7 exams!

I'd say go for the unfairness and suffering. It sounds like an amazing experience, and it's only one year. The bachelor will be there waiting for you for how long as you want.

Yeah man, considering that a few of your posts have suggested you're pretty ambivalent towards your uni course right now, the UN thing sounds perfect. Heartbreaking, perhaps, but it'll be great experience and you'll learn an awful lot I'm sure. I have a friend who did something similar with the UN (perhaps the same thing?) before I met her and she:
a) is awesome,
b) loved it and has no regrets about spending the time and energy (both physical and emotional) required,
and c) has had loads of doors opened for her.
She is an incredibly compassionate and thoughtful individual and I'm sure her experiences doing UN-stuff helped foster that. I think you're just the kind of person who'd similarly get an awful lot out of it (in the sense that you have an awful lot of decent qualities that this could help build on), so fuckin' do it!
