Day 6

Today is my 6th day here in Aix and tomorrow we start our intensive French course that includes up to 8 hours of class per day plus homework on top of all of that. It will be a lot of work in two weeks but definitely worth it. It’s normally a 3 week course that they have condensed into 2 weeks.

Everything with the apartment is going great. We don’t have Internet quite yet so getting onto my blog, e-mail, facebook, or anything like that is a struggle. Although, my roommate and I are going to look into getting Internet in the apartment for ourselves so we don’t have to travel to the office every single day. We won’t be able to get it for about 3 more weeks.

Right now, the University is in finishing up their finals because earlier in the week they cancelled classes because it was supposed to snow. It turns out that that day and the next it rained and the next day if finally snowed 1 inch. They don’t normally get snow here in January (only in February, if that) and so for it to snow even 1 inch they cancelled classes and everything. Our landlady was telling us that if there’s any kind of snow even ½ inch the traffic is horrible and they cancel school.

My schedule for the next week looks something like this:

Lundi 11.01.2010 13h-15h Reunion a l’adademie (to pick classes)

16h-18h Mme. Ferradou, Salle Voltaire _

This first photo is a photo right as you enter into the apartment. On the left hand side there is the entry way to the kitchen. The first door on the right is my roommates bedroom and the second on the right is my bed room. Straight ahead is the bathroom (or 1/2 of it with a shower and a sink) and the entry way to the left that is the other 1/2 of the bathroom with the toilet.

These three pictures are the kitchen area where we have our mini fridge, mini tv and our two chairs that we set up ourselves.

These are pictures of my bedroom.

Hope you enjoy and a bientot!
