So is it Thursday and my first week of classes has almost come to an end. So far, I LOVE IT. I have always liked school but this is a completely different experience. I placed in the advanced (320) level at Université Catholique De l'Ouest and therefore I have six mandatory hours of language each week and then I get to choose 4 or more electives. So my electives are History of Art (included is a trip to Musée D'Orsay in Paris at the end of the semester), History of France, Grammar, and finally French Utopias and Utopian Visions.
All of the above are taught in French except for the Utopian class. I have only had three grammar classes thus far but it is already super helpful. History of France is especially exciting to me because for one I love history and its fun to learn the history of a country taught by a native French person in the native language. Since it is second semester and some students have been here since fall, the history I will be learning starts with the French Revolution and continues through the World War II.
This weekend I will just being exploring Angers more and getting into a routine. I will study too of course....
