... take a cinema class in France

Sorry no pictures today! I had my very first cinema class today and after four hours I have learned so much vocabulary that my head is spinning. French cinema is very different than mainstream American cinema: French cinema is mainly done for art while American cinema is done for entertainment. Which is why I looooove American cinema I want to be entertained, I dont want to have to think about what I am watching (ahem Zach)! We ate at the cafeteria at the dorm today and it was quite an adventure finding out what we could eat, what was in the student plan and what was actually good and what just looked like chopped up beets... We walked around down by the Opera house later and then went to the Champs-Elysees and got some Haggen Das woot woot! Then on the RER ride home we were talking and overheard this couple start yelling in English so of course we listened in, I mean we could actually understand what they were saying, and we found out the girl was from San Francisco and followed her boyfriend over here because he is from paris but she wants to go back to the states to get her MBA and they were yelling about it. All I can say is Awkward... very awkward. Tomorrow bright and early we are off to Normandy to see the beaches of D-Day and Mont St Michel the sometimes Island city sometimes not, great pictures are to come from this weekend stay tuned! I will not have my computer with me so you will have to go without my stories for a little bit (perish the thought!)!
