Holiday (?)

Ah the holidays. We expect them all year, we think what we will do, release, the beach, friends and the whole shebang. The summer holidays are supposed to be a moment of great happiness. But nay! (Well at least for me). I do shit during the holidays, I detest, it's too long, especially when one has nothing to do, and we do not start a playlist teasing us all day. And at the end of the day, when you have done anything well, you wonder what you got served today. You have contributed nothing to society and even less to yourself. You vaguely read 2-3 pages of a book for the course, took some notes vaguely, vaguely less spent your day on the computer at any time update the same page (I know that many will understand). You have unfortunately watched all the articles FB t'annoncent that people go on vacation too loli and that you stay at your house like a lost. All the articles that you speak of FB evenings too stoned gets off mode - at this point, I'm quite happy to have remained home. Then you talk to this girl all the time happy, happy all the time, who does all the time partying, which has all the time fucking notes while fucking nothing, which is all the time and carefree all the time all the guys at his feet - everyone knows a girl (mutant) like that. And then you get down even more because you look in the mirror and you're still in pajamas, at 18h, then you'll look Dinner almost perfect because you have nothing else to do. And the next day the same thing again.

So yes, for sure, we sat eh, so we do nothing. But one sees no one and the days are alike all. Scary somewhere, because I think that in a few years it will be even more appropriate: Metro - work - sleep. We like robots, it keeps repeating the same gestures and it's frustrating. I feel even more useful being, it said. At the beginning of vacation, I'm happy because I'm like "I'll see their heads over the next year." Then the As ... I miss high school a little, I tell myself it's over, etc.. In short, lively holiday.

Failing to leave, I try to read. I already read The Counterfeiters by Andre Gide. So it's a bit peculiar. There are ambiguities everywhere and not at all what we expected. Honestly, it's a good book I read fast, fast, and I rather liked. Now I am in full The Red and the Black Stendhal . At first it was a bit heavy, spread all these feelings, all this silliness. But the more we advance, the more we understand the novel (phew). Sometimes you have to hang on. Because I want to know the end (even if my friend gave me Wikipedia more than an idea), I will read the 250 pages I still aha. Otherwise, standard films, I watch a lot at home recently, we purchased 10 so ... There's plenty to do. But I would go to the movies Tour to see and Inception . If I go, I'll tell you what I thought.

The beginning of the end.

It's very, very long time since I have not written, forgive me. Yet we can not say I was very overwhelmed, forcing holiday. I expected especially as a lot of people, the results of the tank, which sealed my fate for next year and I was very far from being disappointed! To get a quick summary of the situation, the 2010-2011 school year (it feels weird), I find myself ... in preparation. I am always amazed that few people know what a prep. Many believe the prépas nurses prépas Sciences Po, etc.. Except that I speak of the preparation, with a capital P, also called CPGE (preparatory classes for the Grandes Ecoles). As its name suggests, this class is used to prepare for major competitions such as SLAs, business school, Polytechnique, etc.. Each has its specificity. there are literary (3 sections), economic (3 sections) and scientists (I stopped counting). I will immerse myself in a literary, but literary works a bit special.

The first year of preparatory literary is Hypokhâgne (HK), the second, khâgne (KH). There is the preparation A / L, the preparation B / L and the preparation Charters. One that concerns me is the B / L. It was created there is relatively little time for S who loved Letters. B / L is also called Letters and Social Sciences. With a program and timetable of insanity is, in my opinion, one of the most comprehensive classes. There are math, literature, philosophy, history, languages, social sciences. It was a real godsend for me to access it and I sincerely hope me and please do not give up. It is said that the preparation is difficult, as teachers we descend, etc.. It must make sense of things, in my humble opinion. The gossip can spread all sorts of unfounded rumors. On

PDB, I had applied for several Parisian preparation and preparation of town where I live now. Having been unsuccessful in Paris, I stay where I am but somehow it's not worse. We must not lose sight of having family there, it always helps. We are not alone. Obviously, to integrate, I had the tray. I had (it is still weighing less impressive). I succeeded in matters where I did not win enough points so it was surprising to see the transcript. Nevertheless, it is done.

Having had my results and my honors, I am unfortunately reminded me something. Sciences Po Paris offers an opportunity for graduates of the year to come on record, from the time they got to the ferry a score above 17. So I could have it all. I sought advice from a lot of people. You should know that for this procedure, it is not necessary to have passed the contest (in Paris that is) but he must still pay 130 euros for the application! (A little abused, knowing that everything must be scanned and sent). They take only 20% of those who enter reference after some maintenance (which means it must also pay the return ticket to Paris). Spend 130 euros to be told in the end we're not accepted, it is rather bad (and a nice cut in the budget). It was therefore decided - well, mostly, my mother decided - that I abandon the idea of Sciences Po Paris, at least for now, always having the opportunity to enter bac + 3. But if I realize that Sciences Po, is really what I want, I can always get the help of an IEP province next year.

short, as you can see, the French school system is a maddening clarity. So I went for a year preparatory class B / L. Needless to say, the course will pass in a college and then start at the same time as the students, namely, September 2 at 8:00 am that the holidays are the same (yeeesss) and that the courses finish at the same time. Long live the scenery. We leave the school and you enter again. I can also say that the year has already begun in view of the magnificent play list kindly provided by the institution in order to occupy our vacation. I understand they are concerned, they are afraid that they are bored, but really, it was not required. Finally it's wonderful, French, eco, history. Aaaaaaaaaah, what a wonderful vacation, I look forward to.
