I suppose the week went by so fast because it was our first full week of school, complete with homework, tests and presentations. The teachers gave us a break before our trip but now they are showing exactly what our year will be like. But it is rewarding work. It feels like such an accomplishment to work on rewriting your literature essay for an hour and a half and when your host mother finally reads it and pronounces it a lot better, you nearly melt into the couch in relief. Slowly we are picking away at the almost insurmountable feat that is learning French.
After this will be two full weeks of school and then on October 11 we will go on our first of two field trips to Mont Sainte Michel.
I've added a gallery to the site because I have so many extra pictures that are just as cool as the ones that make it into the blog posts. Feel free to take a look.
