When in Mozambique, I ate half an avocado sprinkled with salt with a spoon and a portuguese roll. For breakfast and lunch. And possibly dinner. The avocados were the size of footballs. And I've NEVER had one as good since.

Someone grab Cass before she goes to Mozambique.

Or at least make her stop at Costco for some Benadryl on the way.

Somehow I've successfully avoided watching 2G1C, and I'd like to hold onto my innocence for as long as I can.

Damn, now I want an avocado.

I like to eat my salty, lemon avocado on the garlic-rosemary triscuits.

I had that for many a meal when I was single.

Me too. Maybe we can film a video of us not watching it.

Oh dear deities that sounds amazing.

I have recently hit CostCo for more Benedryl, I'm good.

Ha!

Transferring from Minearverse where I mis posted: HOLY SHIT: McGill's MBA program went from under $2000 a year to $29,000 as a tuition jump within one year!

I'm not sure how the MBA program managed to stay so cheap--I imagined it had crept up in the 20 years since I was there.

ita, there is definitely THIS aspect. But the jump in one year seems so scarily outrageous.

My copied response from Minearverse:

McGill was seriously one of the best bargains in quality education out there. It was $600/semester when I started and $1200/semester when I left¹. I'm not sure how the MBA program managed to stay so cheap--I imagined it had crept up in the 20 years since I was there.

I mean, it was one of the top 15 universities in the world at the time, and we had a shitload of American students there because it was cheaper for them to be international students there than go to their own state schools back home.

¹:Oh, the ruckus at the raise! One of my best friends chained herself to the outside of the Registrar's Office in protest. Given that I'd lent her a semester's tuition just beforehand and she was also shamelessly abusing bursaries...I mean, she just showed up at this McGill office and they gave her money...I had medium to little sympathy for her.

But the jump in one year seems so scarily outrageous.

That could totally bust your ability to finish the degree (or did they say something about grandfathering?). Still, tons of people who would have thought they were going to go, suddenly really couldn't.

yeah, there are a lot of colleges who are needing to make that tuition jump. A bunch of European universities are going that route and since there are some governors who are fuckwads, there will be a lot of state universities going that route too.

Penn State just had half its state appropriations cut.

I am curious if the students who are enrolled in a program and attending suddenly have to 15 times as much too. I'd assume yes, but if I made a decision to go to school based on $1700 and then suddenly had to pay $29,000 the next year, I might not be able to do it.
