I just had the first real week of the second semester, and it was a lot of fun! I'm finally back to my normal routine, which is staying at my host family's house, going to classes, hanging out with friends, and of course, not traveling around Europe.
I'm taking an internship class, where we learn about French work laws and the education system. I have not yet started my internship, but I will be working in a preschool-type environment where I will be working with 3-6 year olds! I'm very excited. I am also taking an advanced conversation class that seems like a lot of fun. We talk about everything, and we will be presenting an article every other week to practice speaking more on the spot. I'm also taking a French culture class (called France Mosaique), where we will be talking a lot about current issues, such as immigration. My favorite class so far is my art history class, which is taught by guest lecturers each week and is at the art museum, so we get to see paintings of the era we are discussing. We will be going on a couple excursions for the class and it should be a lot of fun! The integrated class I chose is about the history of wine in the Languedoc region of France, so that will hopefully be interesting.
On Wednesday I went to the French-English conversation exchange again and as usual it was a lot of fun. I got to see a bunch of people who I hadn't seen for a few weeks, as well as met some new people.
On Friday, my friends and I went to my friends apartment where we got to meet a lot of the new Americans in the program this semester. That was a lot of fun, and everyone seems really nice.
Saturday, I went on excursion to Arles that was planned by the Program. It's a beautiful Roman city, where we went to a museum, a cathedral, saw Roman Ruins of a theater, and went to the small Colosseum.
