what's school?

So classes finally started last week. I almost forgot I was really here to learn...Well I made it through PLP (prep language program) which was 4 weeks of class from 9-1 Monday through Friday. it was a bit intense having 4 hours of class every morning, but i didn't have much else to do so it didn't seem so bad. We then got a week off, which was when we went to Paris and actual university classes started last Monday. The way the classes here are by Niveau 1 through 5. In preparing transfer classes I was told I would only be in level 2, which wasn't upper division so I wouldn't get full credit, BUT little did they know, I knew more then they thought! ha. so I'm in three and I'm taking 12 hours of language class and 6 or 8 hours of electives. The electives I'm taking are a theater class, french stories, and french business. All the electives are taught in French so it gives new meaning to 'paying attention' in class. but they are only once a week for 2 hours. The first few days of last week were so hectic because here, you don't sign up for specific classes and then only go to those, you get the schedule of all the electives and then you just go to whatever you want and keep going to the ones you like and stop going to the ones you don't like. So, I went to so many classes trying to figure out what ones i wanted and which ones I didn't want. Not only that but I was originally placed in level 4 which was pretty hard so i was going to 4 and 3 classes until i could officially switch. But, I survived and I know my classes and I like them and Im going to be a French major instead of minor because i get into a higher level. so school is officially underway in France. WHEW.

As far as this weekend went, it was nice. Both of my roommates went to Spain for a Fiesta so I have the place all to myself, and it is the first time in about 2 months that I have been alone. So it's been nice to say the least. The other night some of us went to French house party and that was really fun and funny, and today I have been a cleaning machine. but it feels nice to have a clean place :) Tomorrow I start to fall into somewhat regularity of school which will be tight and then ill be off on improving my french. (which I already am feeling more comfortable using)
love you all!!
