the first day

well, today started really early!!! a 7am wake up call, i think that is a first since may. so i got ready, and was at the bus stop like 5 mins early, but when the bus showed up there was only room for 4 people. and even tho i was one of the first 4, i could not let the little girls who walked up miss it. So i walked to school. and it was a cold one this morning. i was definitely glad i gad on 2 shirts, a sweater, and my red winter jacket (which totally make me look like a foreigner here, i mean nobody really wears red). so i still was able to get to class a bit early.

So i sat down and met the other 14 students (yeah that is how big my class is all year). and the teacher (who is a very attractive french girl) started writing on the board. at first i thought it was a joke. was she really writing l'alphebet? you know A B C D E... yeah she was. we spent almost an hour learning letters, and then spelling words out loud. wow. so i guess this class will be easy!

after that i had 3 hours til my next class. i know a long break, right. well it was just perfect. i went back to the dorm and dropped off my jacket. check my blog for comments, and then my e-mail and such. and then i went to the cafeteria for a cheap lunch. met a friend there and ate. and then it was back to class.

i have got 4 hours of class in the afternoons on monday. all with the same professor. he's pretty cool. i can understand everything he says. i think i might be one of the more advanced in this class. it gave me some extra confidence. we went over some simple listening, speaking, and writing exercises. and we actually change rooms 3 times durring this class. its pretty neat. i feel like i am getting a good refreasher today. and it was not too hard for me, so that made me feel good. i think i should pass!!

so keep wishin me luck.

i got small groups tonight, which is what i am studying for now. but i am sure i might get some real homework sometime soon.
