"Vivre en Amerique, c'est . . . Vivre en France, c'est . . ."

We had to write a poem filling in those blanks for our literature class today. I only wrote two lines. Our classroom isn't very inspiring. I think I'll have to bring my notebook into the city, where there are plenty of great things to write about. Ex: German tourists (they are everywhere), des pains au chocolat, and people making out in the streets. Okay, maybe I'll have to find a nice park or something.

Also, I finally called the doctor today (last night was rough), and I have an appointment for Monday morning. Then, I found out that the very same doctor is coming with us on our excursion to Mont-Saint-Michel this weekend. Quelle chance! At least I'll have her there, just in case I get sicker. Sicker? More sick? Increasingly ill? Sicker? Yes? Whatever - sicker.

So, today I woke up at 8am for classes (again) and was in class until 5pm. Oh the joys of being a student/victim of disorganized class scheduling! These past few days have been VERY long. Today, I had Oral Expressions, Mme Dargan's class, Grammar, and Literature. I love all of my teachers, but that much French in one day is exhausting. Especially when you're sick and just want to be in bed.

Oh! But what was cool, was that after my literature class, the teacher looked over at me and said, "Vous, vous parlez bien le français." How exciting! Not to brag, but this is my blog and I can do what I want, so I'm going to celebrate the fact that my French teacher at a French university singled me out to compliment my French. That's really cool, and it makes me hopeful for my progression with the language during the rest of my semester here :)

So, other than those classes, I haven't done much today. Tonight (it's already 10pm ahhh) I have to pack for my trip this weekend, but at least I don't have any homework or classes tomorrow. I'm going to try to bring my laptop with me on the trip, but no promises about internet or having time to update this. From what I can tell, it's going to be a very busy weekend. Better remember my camera!

Love, Josie
