Bio
Very simple, a life-curious's wanderings in real life...:
French baccalaureate in Literary section, History of Arts in option - 2007
First year of a bachelor's degree (Licence) in History of Arts - Toulouse II - 2007-2008
First year of a bachelor's degree (Licence) in History - Toulouse II - 2008-2009
First year of Journalism and Communication in EJC Blagnac (Toulouse) - 2009-2010
After internship in a national newspaper, realized (at last) that I possibly had a problem with the education imposed on/proposed to me (whether the bone of contention were the methods, the contents or forms, I still ignore - I'm begining to think the problem was simply myself: I would not accept to be taught in someone else's "politically correct" viewpoint).
Travelling Europe working as a bartender - 2010-2012
Taking back studies: finally, now my ego had been shut up a little and my mind opened enough, I considered I was ready to accept (or at least, tolerate) some form of teaching, as long as I could find it interesting enough to be thrilling, and hard enough to be challenging.
Start a bachelor's degree - Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour - 2012-Today
English Literature and Civilisation studies, with Spanish as a main option
(Particularly passionate with Linguistics, Translation and Literature)
Meanwhile: working during summer and weekends in a bookshop during the day, and in a restaurant in the evening. During the week, I provide English tutoring at home to two children of five and seven, and to a lady of about fourty studying Anthropology.
I'm passionate about
Linguistics and Languages

Literature and Books
Music of all kinds

The Brain
Anything worth a mystery... Everything, actually
An idea worth spreading
"Each true occasion is a Hapax: it involves no precedent, nor repetition, no foretaste nor aftertaste; it is not foreshadowed by any precursory sign and is never met by a "second time.'"
V. Jankélévitch (clumsy attempt of translation)
