One of my snaps in an online Montreal travel guide.

While all this has been going on, I've been investigating my tax returns. Rivetting stuff, I know, but this being the first year I've ever even paid taxes, I'm hoping to get it right. As an immigrant, I'm finding the whole process a little bit more complicated that I'm guessing it is for residents. The deadline is April, but there's theoretically nothing to stop you from filing as soon as 2007 has finished. Except that I'm going to have to wait a month or so for the University to process some paperwork, so I can get my declaration of status. Those of you who have been following my experiences with the wonders of university bureaucracy may see where this is going. A month from now is half way through February, and the provincial offices take about two weeks to process the paperwork once they recieve it.

The question becomes, is a month enough lee-way for academic inefficiency not to screw me over yet again?

You must fight within a lumbering behemoth of red-tape and half-arsery. Defeat the enemy under this condition.
