Changement!

So, we found out yesterday that there are entirely too many people registered for the translation course, something like 22. So the academic adviser came in to our class to tell us that they're going to form a second section, and that it would be in the afternoon and not in the morning.

This got me excited because there's a course at the Institut Catholique de Paris that I wanted to take. We have the option to take classes at several outside universities, including the ICP and the Sorbonne. The class that interested me was French Grammar... I know it sounds dorky, but everyone knows about my fascination with language, and this is a grammar and linguistics course, so pretty much right up my alley. My adviser also suggested for me not to take it in fear that it might be too difficult. Besides, it conflicted with Translation. But when I heard that I might actually be able to take it, I decided to give it another shot asking her! She agreed after my request to let me take it. I figured, if it's too hard, I can just drop it, and if it's just challenging enough, I can get a tutor at IES to help me if I need it.

The only problem with it is that it's at 8:00 am.

Luckily it's only one day a week, but of course it had to be Tuesday! In addition to the two hour lecture class in the morning, in the afternoon I have the TD (which stands for travaux dirigés), which is sort of like a TA session but more intense. After the TD, I have to truck it to the Cité Universitaire for the chorale rehearsal! Tuesdays are going to be quite long, I imagine...

I also had to drop the Paris Museums class to make room for Translation, which is fine because I'd rather be doing this new class anyway.

Right now, I'm home on my nice three and a half hour break between classes. It's definitely a good thing to be able to come home and eat rather than go out to eat or grab a baguette sandwich on the go. That stuff definitely starts to add up!

Family dinner tonight! Haven't had one in quite a while.

Hope all is well with everyone!
