I'm creeping through it. Woke up not knowing I was Canadian. Don't want to go to bed finding out I'm not, after all.

This is exciting. My big question though is if the Canadian great grandparent was naturalized as a US citizen prior to the birth of the grandparent, does that screw things up?

I remember one time I had an early morning appt in Govt Center before work. Afterwards, zero chance of getting into the T, so I ended up trudging to Arlington in the snow while drunk people frolicked about.

It's a few hours of forcing yourself to drink something that feels weird. It doesn't even taste particularly bad (not like medicine or anything). Minding the diet in the days before and especially the liquid diet that day will get you to clear sooner at which point you can stop.
