*cracking up* Yes it does sound like you needed to get away from the madness ;-) Well I also needed time to think about what I wanted to do (though I still ended up in a university course which clearly wasnt for me so I guess that purpose was defeated on short term ;-) And having been in an english school (I lived there for a few years) and an international school in france was what gave me the idea... Countries like the UK and finland have the right idea about this I think.

Mexico is great, but then again so are dozens of other countries I'm sure! I'd love to go backpaking around latin america one day.

Good luck with the studying! Mine isnt going too well. The trouble is I need my laptop to type that report... but that means I have unlimited acces to the internet and television on my fingertips! *wonders if she should just sabotage the internet connexion*
