This week of orientation is fun but I am not looking forward to classes mostly because I feel as if I am learning French all over again. Plus, Parisians are known for speaking fast, which is soo not helpful. At IFE we signed a contract/agreement stating that we will only use french at the Sorbonne and at IFE headquarters, nooo English whatsoever. Which makes some sense while you're in France, but it's still a scary concept. We've been walking everywhere with Sarah, our guide, and today took one of those touristy boat tours along the Seine. I've been in Paris for four days and finally today I saw the Eiffel Tower and had a crepe (with nutella and bananas!) so now my semester in Paris has officially begun. We walked throughout lots of quartiers and got to experience the nighttime frenzy of the Latin Quarter with the IFE group last night. Will eventually post photos when I find somewhere with wireless and I am not confined to a half hour at the foyer's computers.
à demain
xoxo
