I have spent the last few hours working on English, taking naps and being ambushed by the decision-making process of which University to actually go to. It's pretty hard to be one minute trying to type up a good way to describe knavery in Othello then being bombarded with thoughts like: "Montréal or Ottawa? Ste. Cat's or Mrs. Tiggy-Winkles? Mont-Royal or Parliament Hill? The Métro or the O-Train*? Festival Internationale de Jazz de Montréal or the Ottawa Jazz Festival? The Décarie Expressway** or the Queensway?"

Ok. So maybe not all those questions but hopefully you guys get the idea.

*O-Train: Ottawa's LRT system. The cars look like bullet trains and they're red-white...and they're using pre-existing rail lines. *nods* I think I remember hearing that they were trying to expand the network towards the VIA Rail station. Either that or it was the airport...Or something. The University of Ottawa perhaps? Carlton?

Mind, the AMT's commuter trains' in Montréal front engines FINALLY got replaced to much much much more quieter engines that have bullet-train-like fronts. I remember whenever the trains came in it'd be like: "(Insert LOUD LOUD rumbling noise here)" when they left the platform. Incredibly loud and earth-shaking almost. I remember that they were loud enough that you couldn't hear the person trying to speak to you because the engines had a low-toned and very loud sound The other LRT-esque commuter trains have always been quiet.

Well, not earth-shaking but they were pretty loud and rumbly.

**The term "Expressway" should be used loosely here. During rush hour the below street-level (6-7 or 8-10ft?) highway is just big long....clog. (Well, people going to the bridges that lead off the island) However, post-rush hour, it is considered an Expressway because on street level, on either side of the expressway pit there's Rue Décarie and on a street there's lights. On the Expressway there isn't. :)

I'll need to put some time aside and write out the pros and cons of each city. Oi.

And apparently the new Métro cars' engines don't do the incredibly awesome 'doo-doo-dooooo!' sound anymore when they leave the station. I am not amused. (Though, it's just a rumour *shrugs*) The cool old-style seats were replaced with "graffiti-deterrent" colours which would make Jean-Drapeau -if he liked the M73's colours- roll about his grave---


I dislike English projects btw. Actually, English is my least favorite course now. Dumdeedum

BTW, should I seek medical attention if I've been browsing about the Métro de Montréal site too much? :D
