EAP III

Well, I am enrolled in the last level of English : EAP III. For me, it is a continuation because I was in EAP II last semester. This semester, new instructors: Murray and Ilana. They are great teachers with both a captivating teaching style. There are new students and there are students from last semester. Well, what to add about EAP III? Different cultures, different nationalities. It is a real opportunity to discover new horizons, to strengthen my English skills and to develop my critical thinking. So there is a bunch of positive things. EAP III, it is also the last semester before starting serious things. I mean the academic courses. In September 2008 I will hopefully start my first year of business school. I am very excited about it. I can’t wait to pass this level and to start the academic classes.
As an aside, before coming to Calgary, I did not know that a program called EAP existed. I only knew about ESL. So discovering EAP was a great surprise. I knew that I would learn lots of things. What else? Time is going very fast. I’ve already have my first grammar quiz, my first reading exam! I have to hand in my attending lecture next week and my first essay tomorrow. So the schedule is busy. But I like studying under pressure, with lots of things to hand in. It pushes me, even beyond my limits.
Actually, I hate blogging because I never know what to write down, and it is annoying. Blogging would be fun if the student could choose his own topic, and if he had not to write at least 250 words. I think that blogging is a cool thing to do, but those academic requirements turned it into a chore.

Best wishes to everyone. Good luck for your future!
