Day 24: Pau, France

Today was finally my first day of French courses.  It was good to finally be learning French.  Although, we don't really learn much.  We just kinda talk in French or talk about French culture in French or do whatever IN French.  It is pretty difficult to think in French for as long as I did today so intensively.  The make up of the class is pretty cool.  There are 14 people in the class, but only 3 boys.  There are people from Cuba, America, China, Korea, Syria, and Nigeria.  It is very cool, especially because most of them don't speak English at all.  It is a lot of fun trying to interact with them. 

I got this candy bar on a break.  It is SO GOOD!!...Bueno...



After my first class, I had a nice lunch break, and spend some time with some of the people in French level 3.  The cafeteria is still really good. 

After lunch, I went to my second French class of the day for two hours.  Immediately following that was my 2.5 hour literature class.  It was a long four and a half hours.  My only real frustration is that my level of comprehension in level 3 French is about the same as in the much harder French literature course. 

After class, I went to Laura's room and we made pasta with pesto.  Then I went home and relaxed and played a little trumpet.
