School

On my way to work!

So I've started working at two Junior Highs in the Northern suburbs of Paris, Jean Vigo and Evariste Galois. The English teachers that I am teaching alongside all have impressive vocabularies and accents; sometimes I feel like I am talking to natives. The teachers at Jean Vigo have been very helpful, the ones at Galois not as much. This is unfortunate because Galois is my the school through which all of my admin work happens, the helps to continue the infamous legacy of French Beauracracy. I have been told that it takes around three months to obtain a "Carte de Sejour," the French residency card. At least it is a beautiful country!
