"Congratulations! We are very pleased to inform you of your acceptance into the French Teaching Assistantship Program for the 2009-2010 academic year, sponsored by the French Ministry of Education.
You have been placed in the Académie of Dijon.
Blah blah blah... We look forward to hearing from you and félicitations! "
Okay, I guess this all began a few months ago when I applied to teach English in France for next year. Basically the French Ministry of Education hires native English speakers to become teaching assistants on a very low salary, which is perfect since I aspire to be fluent in French and poor (ahem, Art History major). Thus, in September I will be moving to France for eight months. Grad school and "real" life can wait: international adventuring comes first!
To record my experiences, I've decided to create a blog.
This blog is for you if:
A) You want to see what I'm up to while I am preparing for and living in France.
B) You want to live vicariously through me (I like to think my life is that interesting).
C) You stalk me.
D) All of the above.
If you fit into any of the previously mentioned categories, please continue reading. Voila and enjoy!
P.S. French grammar perfectionists-- the error in my title in intentional and due to artistic license. If it makes you feel better, you may refer to it as "Les beaux jours etranges."
