AH SCHOOL!


    Choosing classes in France is dumb.  We are in the process of picking our classes for the next semester and it is getting rather ridiculous.  I feel like our advisors, Nicole and Joëlle (who are fabulous by the way) had so much information to give to us that that basically regurgitated a ton of important information at us…in French.  The French don’t do anything online really, at least not for international students, so our advisors are e-mailing us schedules and classes.  We also don’t technically register, we show up on the first day, say who we are and that we are foreign exchange students and then go to the class.  The French are definitely not as stressed about signing up for classes as American students are seeing as how I will be signing up for fall classes in June, not the week before school.  Fortunately though regardless of which classes I take, as long as they are in French, they will transfer over and count for my major.  Some people have a huge problem with this because either their school is very strict or just their specific program is very strict. 

Our ILP (intensive language course) had the final exam today which means that I already have knocked out a class for my major! Tomorrow we are going wine tasting at St. Emilion so there will be lot’s more pictures to come!
