About the canadian thing thats a very broad generalization about the difficulty level of classes in the US compared to canada. My high school was one of the best in cali with many of its grads going to HBYS schools. I lived in a pretty international part of town and went to school with a few Canadians. They went from being top students in their Ontario high school to being B and C students at my high school. It really depends on wat school you are in.
I know, I meant to say many. I was actually surprised at some of them (ie Columbia).
I don't know about your school (I don't even know where you went) but I do know that this is a common practice for many law schools. The reason I started to look into it was because I know so many people that went to the US for those reasons. I'm thinking about a few schools in Miami, for obvious reasons :)
grade point average at Uni - school smart doen's mean life smart, or does it?
I think it depends a lot on the person. I know some people that have very high GPAs in school but are pretty much retarded in life. But then, there are many that had high GPAs and are successful in many aspects of life. Its the same thing as saying that all people that do poorly in school are successful in life or 'life smart' - possibly true, but not necessarily .
I love Poland because....of the beautiful sunsets and shooting stars! (at least in the country)
ETA:
Plus, if your girlfriend only does things on YOUR impulses (cook, clean,...the other thing) than she can't be that smart.
Thats true EandB! Obviously the girl lost her own brain along the way somewhere!
