Soooooo today we went back to Paris 4 for our first philosophy class! Yayyy...I was actually pretty excited for a class with French students. Of course the first class assignment was a test. We had to analyze a passage in English and then answer French and English questions about it. I thought it was somewhat difficult, so I don't know how the French students were taking it. Anyway, after class we introduced ourselves to the professor, a New Yorker, and he said this class isn't for us. His goal of the class is to help French students with their English translation skills and that we probably wouldn't benefit from taking it. We are all pretty bummed about it. There is a chance we still may be taking the class, but we are now also debating about enrolling in a Great Britain civilization course as well. I'm also still working on registering for a yoga class...yes a legitimate 1.5 hour yoga class at the Sorbonne...I know, you're jealous. Anyway, we also got our placement levels for our Sorbonne grammar/phonetic classes which begin on Thursday. I'm a bit nervous b/c I think they placed me in a higher level than I anticipated. Guess I'll find out soon enough. As of sight seeing, I'm trying to plan a ski trip...but none of my friends here ski. But nonetheless, if anyone has any recommendations on places to ski (there are so many of them) let me know.
Namaste en Francais?
