Day 18: More classes

Last night I was too tired and stressed to post so this will again be for the past two days. Yesterday I had my other two classes at IES (translation and intro to french lit). Unfortunately the translation class is ridiculously hard, we did a worksheet in class and wern't allowed to use a dictonary, so there was a lot of random vocab that I didn't know (like "fast buck"). I think it will force my french vocab level to get a lot better though so that is good. My other class is super rediculously easy which will be nice, there are a lot of students in it who don't speak french very well so the teacher doesn't expect a whole lot from us it seems, at least I have one easy class. I signed up for my class at the Catholic Institue of Paris yesterday, I am taking a class called Keys to Christianity so it should be a lot of stuff that I have already covered in classes at Tulane which is good because it will be easier to do in french. Also yesterday a friend and I spent 2 hours trying to buy eurail passes to go to Munich this weekend and Italy in November. After going to 2 different train stations and getting pointed in the wrong direction by about 10 different people we finally found someone who knew what she was talking about and was able to sell us the eurail passes and book us seats on a train leaving for Munich friday morning and coming back to paris late saturday night, getting in on sunday morning. Since it gets in sunday morning we have all sunday to travel around france for free, so we are going to go to Orleans (since we both go to school in New Orleans). It was super stressful trying to find the eurails, but I am very happy and I can't believe that I am going to Germany in a day! We will be there for the start of Oktoberfest, which is supposedly one of the best times to visit :D I also found out that I got on the Normandy trip with IES so I will be going to Normandy the weekend after next and than the weekend after that I go to New York for my aunt's wedding, so the next 3 weekends I won't be in Paris :( but I get to see lots of cool places so thats ok. I spent today doing all of my homework for the weekend so that I won't have to worry about any of it in Germany. Since I spent about 5 hours strait doing homework when i was finished I majorly needed to walk around outside and relax so I found this cute park right across the street and walked around there and than sat and read my book for a while, which was a nice relaxing end to a very stressful 2 days.
