"J'adore les champginons! Because they are the champignon of legumes!"

Well I made it through my first week of classes! I ended up placing into the second of the four levels, which I think is a good place for me to be! I have two hours of practical french every day from 2 to 4 and then an hour of phonetics at 4:30. The first day of class was tuesday, and then we had our first francophony lecture on thursday. I wasn't impressed with lecture, and since we have another lecture on french literature, I don't think I'll go to this one again. The lecture tomorrow is history of art which I'm excited for, and then french literature on Friday.

It's a nice short walk from my apartment to school, and I'm lucky because I have phonetics and practical in the same building. Some of the girls have a twenty minute walk and a metro ride to get from class to class.

There is only one other American girl in my class which makes for an interesting group! There are students from all over Europe and quite a few people from South America. Most people speak english but really our common language is french! Not a situation I've been in before.

It's actually been a pretty uneventful week with all the school stuff, so only one picture for this update. But we're headed to the Louvre today! I'm really excited to see some art and spend time with the whole group!



This is what happens to my life when I don't have a closet.
