The First Week

Classes started this week and they definitely got off to an interesting start. However after several days of negotiations I finally managed to gain entrance into the level that I needed. I am planning on taking on four classes although that is still 18 hours of class. I am required to take 9 hours of a general "Langue" or language class and then 3 3 hour electives which are as follows; Grammer, Art History, and an Everday French Socio-cultural class. Campus is fairly small with only about six building packed into a small triangular plot. The Palais as it is called it currently being restored and is one of the "prettier" buildings on campus (pictures are forthcoming). Although it ended up sunny today, the bout of springish weather we experianced when we arrived had now made itself scarce. Yesterday it actually started snowing (which I now understand is the norm here for this time of year), but the snow does not really stick. Other than that it tends to be cloudy and chilly in the morning and evening and warm and sunny in the afternoons.
