Getting your luggage after three and a half days of wearing the same clothes!! It’s true, I honestly do not know how British Airways did it--I was on a one hour trip to Paris and there were maybe fifteen people on the airplane, but what can you do, c’est la vie! I had my first intensive language programe (ILP) class today and it went pretty well. Not to toot my own French horn, but I am one of the better speakers in my class. Our professeur is pretty harsh on those who are not very good speakers. One student in particular is not very good at speaking so whenever we are correcting our work out-loud she calls on him first and makes him read a lot more. I try to speak as often as I can even though I know I am really not speaking well. I guess it’s better to speak a lot and realize when you are incorrect than to never speak and never know, right? My French mom corrects me and I gladly accept those corrections, she wants to help me speak better which is good, but also funny because she wont let Jean-Lucien speak English to me. I am making a lot of friends from other UC’s too and hopefully when the other classes start I will meet French and international students. I still have not had any time to walk around and take pictures and learn about the city, but this Friday night we are all planning to meet up for drinks and then Saturday we are going to a farmers market at St. Michel then picnic-ing afterwards as long as it is not raining. I will get more pictures up just as soon as I can. The previous pictures are only a fraction of how truly amazing it is here.
Et maintenant, je fais le devoir!
