Another day, another strike...
I went to class today and the teacher showed up 20 minutes late to tell us that she's on strike indefinitely...Apparently the Francophonie literature department has some beef to fry with the heads of the university so they won't work until they're needs are satisfied. Perhaps I should consider teaching in France after I graduate. I would have job security until death and get plenty of vacation days! I could also b.s. my way through assessment and give all my students 11 out of 20, because there's no such thing as perfect grades in France.
I hope they can reach some sort of compromise because I really need the credit for this class. This strike could go on for months which would result in the cancellation of the course! Eek!
In other news, it's been raining for the last four days. I had the most miserable walk to school yesterday because of the torrential downpour. The pavement here is so uneven that you're forced to walk in an inch of water everywhere you go. And then there's always the inevitable two-feet deep puddle every couple of yards. My shoes are still drying and my pants were soaked well past the knees! Fortunately, tomorrow looks sunny and pleasant :)
I just finished the details on my winter break trip! I booked my trains and hostels for the week and I'm ready to go! I leave next Saturday - I'll be in Paris for three days and Lille for three days. ON Y VA!
