According to our schedule we have officially finished orientation. I do not know if I can accurately say that I am fully oriented or not but that is probably the aim of the program right? We received all of the necessary information on the fundamental aspects of this semester: bus schedules/maps, class schedules, the location of the cafeteria and the most important, our lunch stipend. However what we were mainly concerned with was the placement test that we took today. Considering that I only have one semester under my belt, I was assuming that I would be in group one. Wrong. I was placed in group two, the more advanced group. Apparently they are not going to be that much different but I am still feeling pretty anxious about it. I just figure it will push me that much harder to learn French. We'll see how that goes.
My schedule is pretty nice. I only have two days that have early classes. Which considering how close I live, I really don't have to wake up that early anyways. I can just jump out of bed and run to class. Our first day of classes is tomorrow. I am taking three sections of French, Introduction to literature, Grammar, and an oral expression class. I also have an African studies class, a History of Normandy class, and a French culture class. The last three are taught in English while the others are obviously in French.
