Tuesday night - Conversation Club (where local university students come to practice their English with us, and then help us practice our French. This time we ended up discussing French movies and frat parties.), then movie afterwards with friends and one of our teaching assistants. The good news is I got what was going on in the movie, even though some of the subtleties of conversation were definitely lost on me. A comédie dramatique with cool counterculture style and lots of teen angst.
Wednesday night - We were required to go to a conference at a prestigious business school in town (Audencia) for my French Grammar course. The topic: "Is a citizen no more than a consumer in today's society?" Comprehension level: 50%
Thursday night - Hung out with French people! Some guys that I had met at a soirée for international students invited me over to one of their appartments to listen music, talk, and make galettes. Comprehension level: 86% Fun level: 98%
And then, after deciding on the spur of the moment the day before, on Friday morning, I got on the TGV to Paris with two friends, and then flew to Munich! This was the last weekend of Oktoberfest, so we went to Germany for 47 hours, and it was worth every last-minute penny.
More details on that trip later. But for now, you can see the pictures here:
Until then, tschüss!
