Bonjour à tous
La grève vient d'être votée à Paris VII mais pas par tous les professeurs. Vous devez aller à votre premier cours cette semaine et le professeur vous indiquera s'il fait grève ou non. Je vous demande de tous venir me voir avant lundi (je viens à Versailles également vendredi) et de choisir au moins un troisième cours SBC par mesure de précaution . Si la grève se prolonge nous ne voulons pas que vous restiez "en vacances"... Pour remplacer les cours de sociologie de Paris VII il y a les cours de l'Institut catholique dans lesquels vous pouvez vous inscrire également.
J'espère que vous ne serez pas trop découragé par cette annonce au début du semestre, et vous assure que nous ferons tout notre possible pour remplacer les cours ou vous orienter vers ceux déjà en place à SBC.
Bonne journée
This greeted me in my inbox today. And because I know that with the exception of like 5 people who read this thing (that I know of) none of you can read French fluently. So, to translate: Paris 7 (my university) is on strike.
Assholes. How self-centered of them!
Yet because not all professors are required to strike, I went to class today in the hopes that mine would not be canceled. The Class? Medieval History (Why not? I mean...I just need the credits...)
Enter, Stage Left:
Michelle, in a room with 4 other very angry looking French kids. All sitting in silence.
After 40 minutes:
Everyone looks around, gets up and leaves. Great.
Bienvenue en France!
As we were leaving, I spoke to another student who said this had never happened to him (a teacher not sending an email, or even sending someone else in his place to announce he wasn't planning on teaching...).
It's like, really now France? Can you not get your act together?!
So, I went back to the SB main office, to speak to the lady who does our schedules, and she said I shouldn't worry about the Chinese class, and that SB is trying to put together another history class for kids in Paris 7 affected by the strike. It'll be on 19th century French history, which in retrospect, will be a bit more useful...

Je ne peux pas croire que les profs sont en greve-ils doivent adorer l'enseignement tant qu'ils viennent en classe n'importe quoi...
ReplyDeleteDr. S

ReplyDeleteanyway, i take pride in the fact that, though my french is atrocious, i was able to get the gist of the email. Yay me!
in response to your fbook message, i will figure that all out ASAP.

P.S. It rains. A lot. In Ireland in general, but the west in particular. I am warning you in advance.
