Exams...

Here comes the period of exams, in the University of Orleans... The faculty of Humanities didn't suffer that much from the strikes and the blocking that the Anti-CPE organized... The dates of examinations were maintained, we even had a week of holidays (a real one....).

The dean of our Faculty promised that the value of our diplomas wouldn't be decreased this year, but according to the topics we received for the 1st exam - which looked more like an exam from secondary school - we can doubt this assessment.

Present a book that left its mark on you. <--- No comment.

Well, now I'm preparing for the exam in Linguistics for the Master Degree - on Tuesday, it shouldn't be that bad.. The surprising thing is that our approach of Literature, Linguistics and Humanities in general is very scientifically oriented. I'm still wondering why it is so. On Thursday, I'll have an exam in Literature written in French (which is not the same thing as "French Literature"), then on the second week of exams, I'll sit for English, linguistics, 20th Century Literature and.... French as a foreign language. Everything should be over on the 18th, hopefully! I have a thought for all my friends who are studying now, preparing for their exams as well or for their master thesis and for whom it's a period of high pressure. I keep my fingers crossed!

This Sunday afternoon, I'm going to study some linguistics, and tonight I should be downtown to watch the show dedicated to Joan of Arc. It seems that this year, the municipality of Orleans invested a lot of money and human resources for those events. I'll try to get some pictures and then publish them... it's a pity that I don't have my camera (yet).

Wish u a good day..
