Xavier’s blog

Last but not least, the weekend! The chance to break the rhythm of the week. So I woke up at 8 (instead of 6 and something!), I launched and went to the university at 10. The thing is that I told my student of my second class that they could come Saturday to practice […]

I’ve been teaching all day long. Although I had to give only 6 hours (officially), I did a bit more than 7 that day.
The thing is that when you start explaining something, you can’t stop half way. And since I have a bit of professional consciousness, I couldn’t let my student goin’ back home for […]

Today was y first light day.
With the agreement of Bonaventure, the rector of the university, I’ve reduced my charge to 6 hours a day.

Ca tombe bien, car j’en ai justement pas beaucoup

So, here we are.
Tuesday 6th, […]

Attention: je suis fort conscient qu’on ne peut pas tirer de quelconques conclusions après 2 jours, le but de ce post est juste de vous faire partager mes pensées à chaud. Il est possible que je réfuterai plus tard certaines de ces pensées hâtives.

Deux choses m’ont marqué depuis mon arrivée ici.

Après 24h de voyage, je suis (enfin) arrivé à Ngozi!
Finalement, l’avion a été moins pénible que ce que je ne pensais. J’ai vraiment beaucoup dormi et du coup c’est passé assez vite.
J’ai juste regarder le film “A history of violence” sur mon portable, qui est bien mais sans plus. Je n’irai pas jusqu’à le conseiller […]
