classes? check.

I finally have my schedule all worked out, and know all my classes. Such a relief! The system here for signing up for classes is a little funky-it's all done in person, and the sign-up time for one thing often overlaps with another class already in session, and you have to wait in lines that go on for days...but it's over! My days shall look a little something like this:
Sunday: return from whatever country I decided to visit over the weekend, eat dinner with my host family
Monday: 9:30-10:30 am Phonetics
               11:30am-2:00pm Grammar
Tuesday: 9:30 -10:30 am Phonetics
               11:30-2:00 Grammar
               2:00-4:00 French Art History
Wednesday: 10-12 La France et La Europe (France and Europe)
Thursday: 9:30 -10:30 am Phonetics
               11:30-2:00 Grammar
Friday: 9:30 -10:30 am Phonetics
               11:30-2:00 Grammar
And, phonetics is only every other week-so it starts next Monday, and goes all week, but then the next week we don't have it.  And so on, for the rest of the semester.
And, technically, I should have Phonetics on Wednesdays as well, but apparently here it is totally normal to skip a day of class when another class conflicts.  You would think they would just schedule classes to start either all on the hour, or on the half hour, so nothing conflicts, but then that would just be too simple.
Like I said, the system is a little funny...
Going back to my weekend. Ihad a very enjoyable time in the country with my host brother and sister. There was a little bit of rain, but other than that it stayed at a pretty steady 50 degrees or so with a little sun here and there.  We sat in front of the fire, went on a bike ride, took walks, played cards, played badminton, and cooked real French food (lots of cheese, bread, grilled skewers over the fire...)
and I got to know my host family a little better.  Glad I went.
I'm in the process of uploading some pics, give me about 30 minutes and they'll be up.
