9.10.2011

Well, we finally got done with the pre-session class, which is definitely a relief. The final exam was difficult, but the oral exam went well I think. Anyway, the classes I will for sure be taking are: Phonetics, Grammar, France Au Feminin: History of the roles of women throughout French history, Medieval French literature, all of which are program classes-- meaning they are geared toward people whose first language is not French. As far as my integrated class (the class where I will be with French students), I will be deciding between history of religions in France or a sociology class. We can go to multiple classes and then decide among them for the integrated portion. So far I've had Phonetics and France Au Feminin.  Phonetics was okay, but so far it seems a little dull, but the professor is extremely nice. France Au Feminin seems like it will really interesting, again, with a very good professor.

I just got back from our last group excursion for a while. We went to the city of Aigues Mortes and toured its ramparts.

After, we headed to the port city of Grau du Roi, and took a catamaran trip  on the Mediterranean, followed by some time on the beach. I got my first French sunburn today!

I love it in Montpellier so far, and feel lucky to have such a fantastic host family and a solid group of friends here! :)
