1. started both my classes (Women in the francophone world and "French Lit" which will be more of a study of Camus, really)
2. gone to Le Luberon (Friday)
3. gone to Nice (Saturday, yesterday)
okay, so a brief narrative about my classes. my women in the francophone world class is AMAZING. i swear my professor is the Algerian version of Roberto Benigni (read the crazy italian guy from "Life is beautiful". For class we have to read an essay and watch a movie per week and for our finals we have to write a short essay. Now the independent study class is a heck of harder. My professor is French and another girl added the class. She's been taking French since she was 7 or 8, so you can see i'm at a disadvantage. we have a lot of reading for my level of French... honestly, i'm quite scared about this course.... :scared:
Now Le Luberon. Luberon is a region and we visited 3 towns in Luberon:
first, Lourmarin. when we got there, it was really cold and raining. we tried to follow our guide through the city, but ended up in a cute little cafe where we had hot chocolate and dried up. the hot chocolate is amazing over here. (*hmmmmm* ^_^) after chatting for about an hour, we went back outside, where it was sunny again. so some pictures:
