Yesterday (Monday) I finally got all parts of my class schedule. It's a little confusing, but not too bad. Monday nights I have my French Politics class from 6:30-9:30, just that one day per week. Every day from 2-4 PM I have a French language class. That is supplemented by a phonetics lab every day from 12:30-1:30 for 1 hour, but only every other week. I'm also taking another class called "Explorations in French", which consists of a ton of stuff, including walking tours and individualized assignments.
My French language class is really interesting because that class includes international students from all over. I think I have students from every continent in that class. So far, it's hard to tell if I'm in the right level because we've started out at such a basic subject, but I think I'll stay there because it's worth 12 credits! This class is also in an awesome spot. From my seat in class, I literally look out over Notre Dame and the Seine. Very nice views...
My classes are scattered throughout the city. I'm not even sure where the Sorbonne officially is. Maybe all of the buildings are scattered throughout Paris. Really not sure.
It's a rainy day in Paris, but I have to head off to class in a minute. Next week we're seeing a ballet, Caligula, so that should be nice. Hopefully, if the weather gets better, we'll be able to make it to Versailles this weekend. Versailles is outside of Paris, but you can get there with the Metro system, so it should be easy.
Au revoir!
