Bonne St. Valentin! From what I've noticed Valentine's Day does not seem quite as popular in Paris as it is in the US, but nonetheless, I treated myself to the biggest chocolate meringue I have ever seen in my life; I could not pass it up. It was literally the size of my head. Anyway, this morning was our first class for the Sorbonne. It's lundi-vendredi from 10-12, and it seems like it will be okay. I understand almost everything the professor was talking about, and we had conversations and gave oral introductions of one another. We also took a test just to ensure we were placed in the right level...it would have been fine if I had the ability to remember every verb ending in every mood and tense. Anyway, after class we grabbed lunch at a delicious café and headed to our phonetics test. It was pouring and windy, and we had a little trouble finding the building, but eventually we got there. I had a hard time getting over the perfect view of that massive church that was right next door to us...what's that church again? Ohh right, Notre Dame! It's still pretty crazy that Notre Dame is an every-day landmark people pass on their way to work. After waiting a while to take our test, we realized there was a problem with the time of our class, so a bit of a fiasco ensued, but it was eventually figured out. Afterwards I sat at a café and enjoyed part of my meringue with a cup of tea then headed over to the Sorbonne to register for my yoga class. Now, if you've been keeping up with my blog you'll know that I've had little to no luck with registering for classes. So why should this time be any different? Well, it wasn't. The yoga class is full, and the majority of the other sports classes I would have considered taking were in the morning when we have other classes. So I'm going to join a yoga studio instead. Anyway, now I'm just relaxing and debating about going for a run in the cold rain...my bed is looking much more appealing though. Tonight we have plans for happy hour! À demain!
