Social Life at Bristol..

OOOOH what year are you in? I am finding it ok. Got my oral on the 8th and a bit nervous about it, language exams didn't go amazing I think I'll have him next year for Modern French Narrative, unless I am very mistaken.

I am actually a masters student (MA in European Literatures). Bradley taught on both of my core units (Balzac's Old Goriot and Flaubert's Madame Bovary for nineteenth century and Sartre's Nausea for twentieth century), and leads one of my optional units (Voltaire's Candide). He is easily one of the best lecturers not only in French but in modern languages itself so appreciate him!

I am sure you will do fine in your oral. I have been invigilating a number of modern language undergraduate exams this week (and next week) so I know how you feel. I had to look after a second-year Italian student this morning who was translating something for almost four hours!

Ahh nice! I know a girl called Stacie on that course, actually. I've never had Bradley but always heard amazing things about him. We did Candide for Literature this year actually, great text.

I might have seen you then! Oh, poor guy, I find one hour of translating bad enough! I haven't started oral prep yet....woopsie, best get on it

How do you know Stacie?

You probably would not have seen me (shame!... ) since I look after people who need more time and who use computers etc., and I have not looked after any French students.

We're both student ambassadors, and have often worked on the same events Ahh that's a bit rubbish. Do you speak any other languages/study texts in another language? I see you did English as your first degree. Have you enjoyed your course in general? I'm still uncertain as to whether I want to do a Master's or not.

Re above: yeh there is.

There y'go!

I'm sorry, but there are no pros to the Durham nightlife - unless you count the fact that you'll get loads of work done because you'll never want to go out.
