We have not adjusted to our Paris schedule yet. We are all tired, excited, and anxious to start jumping into our new surroundings. Class in the morning is starting to become a little more comprehendible. For the rest of the students the class is a 7-week super intensive course that is taught in French, even for the beginners. For us it will only last 3 weeks. If they could just explain what we are doing in English I think we could accomplish so much more at this stage. But we are human and will adjust in time. The afternoon was spent at the Carnavalet Museum exploring on our own through different works of art that showed a perception of French history. We are lucky Dr. Hagan stuck with us and explained the deeper meanings.
