Anxiety over year abroad vs excitement over year abroad FIGHT
#i have a meeting w the head of french this week to discuss my options cus they're a bit different since i'm registered disabled at my uni#so while in theory everything is open to me it's going to be more difficult to prove my level of spoken french given i sound Like This#technically the british council can't deny my application for english language assistant based on disability because that's illegal#but it would be harder for me to get support if i needed it#same for unis - while all options are open for me some provide way better pastoral/disability support than others#i'm lucky in that the unis that are good for linguistics are also known for having good support#but study abroad is not my first option for my year abroad - i really want to work!#so yeah i have to discuss my options this week#but i'm also SO EXCITED thinking of the possibilities - if i get a job as an ELA i'll have a salary and i can put some money away each month#the theoretical plan is to go interrailing at the end of my year abroad cus ELA contracts end in May#and i'd only be working 12 hours a week (plus some prep time) so i'd love to get involved in whatever local community i'm in#i can romanticise my year abroad to get rid of the anxiety as a treat!!#also my friends are planning to visit me at some point in that year so it'll be fun to take the language barrier stress off their shoulders#ellis exclaims
