First real day

Yesterday, we were separated into our groups, based on our tests. I'm in Avancee I, which is the second highest level out of 8 (Grace a Diane, Merci!) There are 9 other people in my class, most are already retired, which is fine with me, at my age, I like being one of the youngest people in the group! Our professor, Bruno, is awesome, as are all of the professsors here.

Class moves very fast, it's good. We've spent all our time putting together sentences as fast as possible. For those of you who know french, you know that the french put words together in sentences in a different order than in english. It usually takes a long time for my brain (and I suppose everyone's) to string a sentence together, so we're working on that speed - - trying to make it effortless. The school is very much like the class I go to in Austin at the Alliance Francaise, so I'm pretty comfortable with it all, which is good because this kind of thing used to make me very nervous.

I had a little homework last night. I think we'll have a little each night, but are only supposed to spend 15 minutes on it, just to refresh our minds again. Weird things are happening to my brain already. It's become very difficult for me to type. I keep making mistakes, over and over again. It's taking forever to type out emails and this blog. I tried reading my book last night (in english) and it was very difficult, so I quit after a few pages. I guess I could just be tired.

For those at the office, I won't have my laptop today. I must go to the bank after class and it's only open until 5:30 and there's no way that I'm taking my laptop with me up and down the hills. Speaking of that, my legs are REALLY sore! I stay pretty active with my dogs, but these hills are great.

I didn't go out last night. I got everyone's phone number yesterday and when I got to the phone store to buy my phone, I realized I forgot my credit card and it would take too long to go home and get it and come back. Therefore, I had no way to contact anyone. I walked back home to get my credit card and planning on going back out, but once I saw down in my apartment, I realized I was too tired for anything.

Ok, sorry for the boring post today, I need to leave now to go to school.

PS. Sorry, Vik! I thought I'd sent you the link to my blog before I left!
