Un peu de culture britannique pour vous aujourd'hui : 𝗾𝘂𝗶 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗼ù 𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗶𝘁 ? Si vous ne le saviez pas, c'est le Worcester College d'Oxford University. Je suis allée le visiter la semaine dernière avec mon fils qui espère y faire ses études. Cependant, il est extrêmement difficile d'y être admis. 𝗤𝘂'𝗲𝘀𝘁-𝗰𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗹'𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁é 𝗱'𝗢𝘅𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 (𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲) 𝘀𝗶 𝘀𝗽é𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗲 ? Mon fils aimerait étudier le droit. Pour cela, comme pour toute autre matière, il doit choisir l'un des 44 colleges auxquels postuler (qui semblent tous tout droit sortis de Harry Potter). (À 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘴, 𝘶𝘯 "𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦" 𝘯'𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘢 𝘮ê𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘲𝘶'𝘶𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭è𝘨𝘦 𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘯ç𝘢𝘪𝘴) Chaque college n'accepte que 8 étudiants par matière. Les étudiants vivent au college et y rencontrent leurs professeurs pour des tutoriels réguliers. Ils se rendent parfois avec les étudiants de la même matière de tous les autres colleges à la faculté principale pour assister à des cours magistraux. Oxford est une école de renom, car les étudiants y bénéficient d'un contact étroit avec les meilleurs professeurs, ce qui n'est pas le cas dans d'autres écoles. Évidemment, j'aimerais que mon fils soit admis à Oxford, mais s'il ne l'est pas, j'y retournerai certainement en visite. Et vous, êtes-vous déjà allé à Oxford ?

Je croyais que le college c’etait le technique, apres le GCSE ou pour les adultes plus de 18 ans. On y trouve 6th form. I still can’t get my head around with college then

I live in Newbury 🇬🇧 so I have the privilege of being just 45 minutes down the road. I love Oxford!
Last week I had one of the scariest experiences of my life. I was flying back from Amsterdam to Nice after the Toastmasters international conference. Everything was as usual, until the pilot announced, “We’re going back to Amsterdam.” Everyone in the plane groaned. But then he added, “There’s an electrical fault which has affected the brakes and we don’t know if the back up braking system has been affected or not. We need to go back to Amsterdam to land on the longest runway possible. The crew will now prepare you for an emergency landing in 30 minutes.” The worst thing was that I could hear in the pilot’s voice that he was stressed. I looked at the crew’s faces and although they were calm, their faces showed that they were scared. The next 30 minutes were spent practising the brace position, removing all jewellery, glasses, tightening our seatbelts, learning how to open the emergency doors. We were told to study the safety card, which everyone did more intently than ever before! And like most of the other people on the plane, I was quietly worrying that we’d crash at the end of the runway and perhaps this was how I was going to die. We landed in brace position, with the crew shouting “brace for landing”. Luckily the emergency brakes worked 😅 If you’re expecting me to tell you that I have now changed my life for the better and I’m giving everything up to become a life coach… …I’m not 😆 I did say to myself, “Only trains from now on”, but I still had to get home and that involved two flights the next day. What I did realise was sometimes you have to give up control and put yourself in the hands of people who are trained for this. Also that after we landed, all the passengers were talking to each other, everyone was friendly and helpful. And when I saw some of my fellow passengers the next day, it’s like we were friends, bonded by this experience. And that made me think, why can’t we always create these human connections, even when we’re not in such an emotionally charged situation? So that is my resolution from this experience: make more human connections with everyone around me. (Photo taken from my flight home the next day: I’ve never been so happy to see the Îles Lerins 😁)
