I haven’t posted here in ages, so I think it’s time to dust off the blog again.
My three-year war on university is over. The last battles were long and tough ones, which is why I just stopped taking care of this place, but finally, I was victorious. After months of studying in spite of not even knowing if I had passed the written part of the competitive exam, I was informed by my faithful intelligence agency (the Publinet website) that I was eligible to go for a second round of battles, an oral one, this time. And so, on July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, I went to Lille to face the CAPES jury and try to convince its members that the words coming out of my mouth were actually very good explanations regarding noun clauses, the development of tourism in the 19th century and the integration of UK culture elements in high school classes.
It seems that I convinced them well, for not only did I emerge victorious, I was also the 75th ranking officer among a whole army of 942. Not bad, I say.
In other words: I’m now done with studying, and come September, I’ll be the one teaching others. Or rather, I’m going to be a trainee-teacher, and if I’m not too clumsy in my way of handling the job, I’ll officially become a teacher next year.
Now you see why posting regularly here was the least of my worries. ^_^
