Sorry I didn't post last night. Absolutely nothing of note happened yesterday except that I went to the English speaking international church yesterday for the first time. I really liked it, I think I will be worshiping there for the remainder of the semester.
Today I had my first day of classes. First off, it doesn't matter what country you are in, you never want to wake up early for classes. But I really enjoyed them! I had a four hour language class (which meets 3 times a week) as well as a two hour phonetics class. I liked both a lot! I especially like my language professor which is a good thing since I will be seeing a lot of her.
Some interesting things I learned in class today.
1. To the French there is a difference between sex and faire de l'amour (making love) the first is mechanic the other is true pleasure (yes we talked about this in class)
2. For the French working is just a way to make money and truly enjoy life. They work to vacation. (I like that a lot! I think I will adopt this part of French culture)
3. French female celebrities talk with a hilarious accent.
After classes I went grocery shopping again. This time by myself! I'm so proud :)
Then I came back to the seminary for our weekly "family" dinner! Tonight was African style chicken in a carrot, coconut and peanut butter sauce (it was delicious) and then for dessert were THE best brownies I have had in a long time! I was a happy girl!
My night ended with messages given by Ingvild (which I really needed since I have a sorry excuse for a pillow) and just general hanging out with people in the common room listening to music and chatting. That's one thing I love about the common room! The music variety is fantastic and includes music from around the world!
Tomorrow I have two elective classes and I am going to dinner at a French home!
