i will be in england because of my school. they follow a programm that is internationally exapted called cainbridge certificate. i will be there with 3 other classmates who are 4 times worse at english then me so i will unlikely learn anything from that. because they are glue babies i will also be playing translator during the trip. so fml...
i will be residing in a guest home. i will be living there for 10 straight days. so fml...
i have checked the place im going and there is basicly nothing to do close to the guest home. so F M L!
i am not looking forward to tomorrow. i am seriously so pissed off about it i got close to gampling haning my self or going...(overexadurated)
it will be 10 days of suck where i will have to do things with people i dont like while translating for them while learning nothing...
its technacly not required to go but if your a human you can basicly not make the test which counts for half of your final grade on the exam which comes with it.
not lying every one in the school who went will tell you this and so will the teachers. almost every year one person doesnt go and fails 100% of the time.
my one salvation is that i have my 3ds with me and i have kingdom hearts dream drop distence just for this trip and i got pokebank working so i can go bread my pokemon team on showdown in game now! woo.
anyone tips for staying mentally stable? not neccesarly sane. just stable.
We had 11 hours in the bus bcz of trafic jams tho :3
I will also NEVER make even one selfie!
@jorden i personally think that if you think its the worst possible you are not gonna be disappointed and will likely be proven wrong for the better.
@everyone else
I mostly made this blog to announce i wont be on any skype and such and to nag a bit. I enjoy nagging a bit.
That's Indian food >< Tikka*
Chicken Tikka Masala= Spicy Chicken Masala
Fun fact, Chicken Tikka Masala in terms of the curry was created here! :D
Comic thats the thing there are no teachers with us and its socially required rather then school saying i have to. If i don't the other 3 will not get trough england which will mean that they will nag at me and me angry at me that i don't help them trough translating.
There will be a lot of field trips which means that we will be interacting with the people there. They speak completely broken english and here is the thing. That exam is focused on info we get on that field trip so if i dont translate they will likely get angry with me.
Its mostly a social requirment for my own survial. I could do it without it but it would make those 10 days suck even more.
Well, if you feel it's a social requirement than might as well do it, but not with that approach, be happy that you can help 3 individuals overcome a difficulty :D if you REALLY don't want to translate for them might as well just tell them to prepare to translate for themselves. If they are incapable of understanding something in England I am not so sure about their capability of passing an English test either :p
You are also not to enthusiast about staying where you will be staying (mind telling us where you will stay? Would be interesting to know.), but there are a lot of fun things to do in England. You can always just play football (soccer) :D
ps: cainbridge=Cambridge?
Where I live we have lots of volunteers that come from everywhere around the world, and I constantly find myself being the translator for other people that I work with and for my friends if we meet with those volunteers. It's not that bad, you just have to be patient and think in a simple way, how you could translate them to your "friends".
Don't withdraw in your 3DS. You'll be in England. I haven't been there myself, but for every new place you visit, you should keep your eyes opened. Watch their culture, their architecture, traditions, people... I know it's a school trip but could you go to watch a football game (if you like it)?
Trust me, there will be so many things to do. Don;t get discouraged just because you are going to be the translator and that you don't like the ones you are going with.
England isn't bad. I mean, it sucks that you have to act as translator, but they have nice people, the food is fantastic (seriously, chicken tikki malsala is amazing), and you'll probably have a good time. At the very least, it shouldn't be terrible.
