Ever since I came here and learned that the uni recruits student ambassadors either to help freshers settle in or attract newbie students to join us next year, I've wanted to be a part of that. So every year I've looked at the application form - even downloaded it - but never got around to actually filling it in... Same this year. Until an e-mail came through asking specifically for students who had been away for a year - either doing a year in employment scheme or Erasmus etc. It was my time to shine!!!!!!!
So a couple of weeks ago I put the yellow ambassador's shirt on and started answering questions that the potential students and their parents had. Unfortunately for me, after my year in France I kind of lose my ability to speak English in stressful situations... So I was cussing at myself for struggling to find words and form easy sentences and fighting the urge to tell the parents that I promise I can actually speak English, just today I'm a bit weird ok??? Please don't judge me :D The questions they asked wasn't very easy either tbh: for example how is the teaching of marketing structured in this institution? Ummmm... welll... uh... what? (I gave a slightly better answer to them but still.... jesus I've never thought of it like that). Then luckily someone did want to know about the language year abroad :) happy days :) hopefully they were satisfied with my answers... :D
It was a good experience and I'd definitely do it again if given the chance but I felt so much under pressure to give the "right" answers, whatever they might be, and afraid of saying something stupid :D Other good parts during the day were free sandwiches and coffee :) and I actually learned something new as well about my course and how they present it.
Ttyl ;)
Jazzz...
