I’m back in college now, in my second week of semester 2, and I still have the uneasy feeling that I have no idea what I’m going to do wih the rest of my life. Being in college does help because I don’t have to feel bad about my current lack of career as I’m still a student… or rather I am a student once again.
Still, I do really enjoy my course but as usual, doubts creep in. I enjoy translating, I enjoy reading and learning about it but am I going to find work this field? I think a lot of the doubts come from the fact that after finishing my degree in biotech, I was faced with the fact that there were no longer any jobs in the field for graduates with very little experience. Another factor is that my French isn’t as good as it used to be as it rarely gets used anymore and that English is technically not my native language. What do you do when your second language is better than your native? I guess technically they are both my native tongues, one just happens to always have the upper hand. It seems strange to think that my English would deteriorate if I went back and lived in France for a couple of years, although I never thought that it would happen to my French when I was living there :S
I know this is a rant of a blog post, but it’s what’s been on my mind lately. You know, when we were kids and in a hurry to grow up, they should have warned us it was no fun 
The alternative plan I’ve been contemplating is pursuing doing art on a part time basis, still unsure on how to make money with it but I’ll figure it out. So for now it’s looking like freelance translator/ struggling artist is my path.
Hopefully it will work out fine 
Hope you’re all having anice day!
Cheer up
You should just speak French to me, even if I just reply in English… then both of us will have better Franglais
