Devious Journal Entry
Trying to return:
Oh dear! I have been missing in action for a while!
My summer has been hectic: last summer job ever, moving to a new apartment in Paris, and I started teaching three weeks ago. I spend roughly 3h in transportation each day, have ginormous classes (some of 48 students) but I do like what I do and I am comforted in my idea that this IS the career I want. I does give me tons of works though: preparing classes, grading papers (70 a week, roughly) plus the administration side of it, there seems to be an endless supply of forms and papers and e-mails to answer to. But I try to keep organized.. and mostly fail.
I do want to come

There we are:
Hey guys, it's been a long time, but it looks like I've reached the end. I AM A CERTIFIED ENGLISH TEACHER!
Out of 1000+ candidates, 240 of us passed the written exams. And out of those, only 110 of us got certified after the oral exam. I made it to the 40th place out of those 110.

Another I am alive entry:
So yes, I am indeed alive :D
I am just out of my exams. Picture this: 4 days, 25h of exam (7+6+6+6), 6 subjects (literature, history, phonology, linguistics, French to English translation, English to French translation), 46 pages written. And the funniest part: no results given before... JUNE! And then if I pass I get to go to... the oral exam: 4 more days!
I am however on vacation for like, 2 weeks during which I plan to do as little as possible. Go tan in the garden of my parent's house, read a book totally unrelated to my classes, bake a shit ton of cakes and cookies (as I have no often at the apartment.) And y
