What a fantastic day! In my French Language class, I did my
presentation about equality between girls and boys in school in front of the
class, and it went very well! My professor said I did a good job, and the class
was able to have a decent discussion in regards to what I presented. And now
that this presentation is over, I don’t have any more presentations to do until
my exams in December – I’m off the hook and I can relax until then! I feel like
such a weight has been lifted, I can’t wait to have this free time to explore
Grenoble some more! I suppose I stressed myself out a little too much about my
presentations, but I’d rather worry and do well than be over-confident and fail
miserably! Although maybe one day I’ll be able to walk into a classroom with no
practice and just nail a speech…I can only hope! After my language class I came
back to my apartment with Julie and we studied a bit before heading back for
vocabulary class, and lucky for us we were let out early. We took advantage of
the time by taking some gorgeous pictures of the snowy mountains and some
pictures of the campus, and we might have taken some rather ridiculous pictures
of ourselves as well!
After taking pictures, Julie and I split ways, and I went into downtown to meet up with Lise for our weekly language-exchange-coffee-date, and I had an amazing time as always. I was really confident with my French, and Lise also spoke a lot in English. She speaks really well! She’s a little afraid of her accent, but I hardly noticed it; I was able to understand everything she said, and I hope that with our coffee dates she becomes much more confident! We also talked about visiting Annecy one of these upcoming weekends, and I am really excited. I’m going to be able to talk with Lise a little bit more, visit a beautiful town, make some amazing memories…I can’t wait; I really hope we end up going! In fact, I really hope that Lise and I become close enough that we’ll be able to be pen-pals once I return to the States, which would be really nice!
