Frist day of French class

SO today was my first day of classes.. yes I finally have TWO French classes. Tomorrow we all have to take a French proficiency test to see what level of French classes we are allowed to take. The other classes we take are just all in French no matter how well you speak. We'll see how that test goes...wish me luck!

So my first class of the day was Art History..19th - 20th century. We looked at about 20 Picasso images and talked about cubism and it's 3 different stages. Now that I look back, I understood quite a bit and I'm proud of myself. The class is 2 hours long but I don't mind because my professor is beautiful. I wish I could post a pic. Just kidding. I think I am really going to enjoy this class once I can fully understand the professor. There is no textbook that goes along with this course so there's a bunch of money I can save.

Mamie and I have that class together so we got lunch afterwards and headed home. I took a much needed nap and then got ready for my night class of drawing. Mamie and I got to the classroom half an hour early and the classroom was locked so we sat outside the room in some chairs that were sitting there. A kid with a magic touch opened the classroom but walked right back out and went down the stairs. Mamie and I were a bit confused because we thought the door was locked. We decided to just sit in the classroom and wait for everyone else. Class was supposed to start at 18h00 and it was already 18h07. We decided to wait until 18h15 and then we went looking for a "front desk" to see if they could tell us where the class was actually at.

We didn't find a front desk but we found a janitor. She told us there was a professor upstairs that we could ask. He was teaching, so we peeked in the room and saw that it was the class we were supposed to be in. At this point we were half an hour late. He said "bonjour" and the whole class (of 8 students) turned around and looked at us. We recognized a kid with sick burgundy hair from our art history class from earlier in the day. We sat down and pulled out some pieces of paper and looked at pictures our professor was showing us of drawings.

After looking at these images we started drawing random objects like a watering can, a plastic hat, a basket and a jar. Since we didn't have the proper supplies he came up to us and asked us to bring the correct supplies for the next class period. Our assignment for next Wednesday is to draw THREE objects. I have a whole week to draw three things.. At CC, they gave us two days to draw 10 objects. Alright well that was my day...

For dinner we had : vegetable soup but they were all blended together so it looked like pea soup and some cooked broccoli with chicken.
dessert was: chocolate cake but it wasn't done all the way so it was gooey. It was still delicious though and we all still ate the whole thing! :) yummm!

À demain (until tomorrow)

je vous adore!
