juste pour te remonter un peu le morale: j'étais étudiant en anglais. j'ai réussi le concours d'entrée à l'ESIT. enfin, j'ai été admis en 2005, by sheer luck, maybe, car à ce moment-là, ma connaissance de la langue francaise etait loin d'être suffisante. anyway, i felt quite fortunate even pleased with myself for being accepted by ESIT, which stands for Ecole Supérieure d'Interprètes et Traducteurs. quite a fancy title, isn't it. back to my story: and then, things did'nt work out for me at all, as I had a lot of bother keeping up. in fact, from the first moment, I was unable to focus on my study at ESIT, for I was of two minds as to whether moving on with my study or just leave school and go find myself a job somewhere. while the semeter was coming to an end, I figured out that there was no way that I could make it to the second year if I kept hovering bewteen these two choices. But it was already too late. As a result, I flunked just about all exams which were, honestly speaking, very tough ones, esp. for someone who did'nt study hard. At ESIT, the rule of the game is very simple: You don't study hard, you fail exams. you fail exams, you get edged out. So after my first year, I got edged out. well, maybe, i should say i let it drop before getting edged out. i decided not to show up at the make-up exams. I knew for certain that I would stand no chance of getting the passing scores. I lost all my incentive to focus my attention on thoses stodgy notes, course books, and handouts. not even a glance. So, that's about it, my ESIT story. short and boring, as it might be. But that's not the point. my point is: if u choose ESIT and ESIT chooses you as well, you must be 100% sure of why you want to attend ESIT and what you want to get from it. Once you set yourself a clear-cut goal, which should usu. be having a connection with your future career, you should then stay resolute and tough it out. if you wanna leave ESIT as a winner, never ever let anything sidetrack you from your study, which requires a SUSTAINED, ALL-OUT effort.
