Universite de Provence



Bonjour! Today was the first day of our Cours Intensif. It a one week class just for us Americans to just get a big shock of French before we launch into real French classes with a professor that is not so nice haha. French classes meet (for the most part) once a week for like three or four hours at a time, which is super super long but at least you only have to meet once a week. We'll have to see how the classes are once they finally start. I know I am going to be so nervous!!

This is a picture of our university! It's not a beautiful castle or anything (like many of us imagined when we pictured a French university). It's actually kind of ghetto haha but that's how they are here. Everything is pretty old and paint peeling and thin doors so you can hear what's going on in the other rooms. It's pretty weird and it will be distracting when we're taking a test or something. We had to take a placement exam and someone in the next room played a Train song THREE times in a row. We could hear the whole thing and everyone was laughing at how ridiculous the situation was.

COUNTDOWN TO SOLDES: 2 days!!! yay!!!
