J'aime le soleil!

The sun is out today and it is so warm. I spent the last few hours doing homework and relaxing outside on the little terrace area we have on campus. It has a few sun lounger type chairs and looks out onto the ocean and mountains. It's beautiful. And I've now officially gotten my first sunburn in France! haha just a bit of color on my face...hopefully a tan is in the cards for the coming months!

Today was another morning filled with french class from 9a-noon. I feel like I'm already succeeding in my class. We have a lot of discussions, and I've been able to make points and say things that I didn't expect myself to be able to say. I still make small mistakes and have a lot to learn, but I feel like by the end of the semester I'm going to be close to fluent.

Yesterday I visited a culinary school in the area with about 20 other students from AIFS. I'm going to be taking classes there once a week for 3 hours each time. The whole program lasts 7 weeks and only costs 140 euro, which isn't too expensive n the big scheme of things. We learn how to cook 5 course meals every week, and then we eat them for dinner when we are done! I'm hoping to learn a lot about french cuisine, and hopefully get some really good meals out of the deal as well :]

More to come later! <3
