So yesterday I found out my results from the placement test. There are four groups: DPF, DEF, DAF, DSF which the first group is for students who have almost never studied French before and DSF being for kids who are pretty much fluent. I was put into DAF, which I was happy about because this is where I wanted to be, especially because I am here for the year so there is no hurry to be in the top group. DAF stands for Diplôme Approfondi de Français. Most of the Americans are in this class so it makes it nice because there's always that little comfort zone when someone speaks the same language as you. Afterwards, I made my way to the book store otherwise known as the Librairie [there is a difference in French culture between the Library and a Bookstore. The "Library" is known as the Bibliothèque.] but unfortunately they didn't have my book yet so I have to wait until next week.
For the semester, I will be taking Grammar, Geography, Oral Practice, Writing Practice, History, Civilization, and I think that I'm going to take a French Business class as well for my elective. Monday's are the hardest because I go to school until 7:30pm but the rest of the days are quite easy as far as scheduling goes. But there's no lying that the classes will be challenging. So far I've met a couple people from around the world obviously starting in the US, and France, but I've also met person from Poland and then recently from Wales. So of course, I love meeting people from all different parts of the world and learning how different things are between the places.
But so far - so good. I really enjoy staying with the family that I'm living with. They are very nice, and truly make me apart of the family.
My Host Parents: Antoine and Virginie

I also have a host sister, Mathilde, but I don't have a picture with her yet!
