Today marked my first official day as une assistante, and as I awoke to my 06:45 wake up call, I won’t
deny I was slightly nervous. I really didn’t have anything to worry about
though; the teachers were all so friendly despite my difficulty in
understanding them sometimes, and the kids were lovely and really well-behaved.
I didn’t have to do any teaching just yet, but was instead subjected to a Q&A
session from 5 different groups of children. I think the most complicated
question I had to deal with ‘Who is your favourite celebrity’; although I was a bit taken aback when a boy asked me if my parents are divorced.
It will be more of a challenge when it comes to having a
more proactive role in the classroom, but I’m really looking forward to working
with the pupils over the coming months and hopefully witnessing an improvement
in their language proficiency.
I also (finally) set up my French bank account today, so I
can get paid, yay! Absolutely no idea
what the bank person was telling me as I signed about 20 different documents, my first proper taste of the good ol' French bureaucracy,
but I trust it’s all legal as my supervisor was there with me throughout the meeting.
Not a particularly interesting day in terms of blogging
potential, but I now have no work for a week, so who knows what adventures I’ll
have until then! Stay tuned, mes amis!
