I've been sitting in on French history and literature classes, so it has been really fantastic - right up my alley. Today in one of the classes, they happened to be studying my favourite French poet, Jacques Prévert. You could have knocked me over with a feather when the teacher asked me to read out my all time favourite poem from the sheet that had about 20 poems on it. It was a poem that I learnt myself at high school when I was in grade 8.
This afternoon I went for a walk in Vannes. The medieval part of town is just gorgeous with its quaint little buildings. Anyone who knows me terribly well will know that my sense of direction is horrible to say the very least, so I was very proud of myself when I managed to walk into town, wander through the labrynth of little streets and get back to school without getting lost once! A very proud moment!!!
This afternoon, I have taken off classes in order to prepare for an English class later in the week. I am going to be talking to them about the Australia and its schooling system, St Ursula's College and me. Hopefully they will find it interesting.
I've had a lovely two evenings staying with the principal and his gorgeous family. I didn't meet their son, but their two daughters were just lovely. They are all students at the high school. Tonight I move to a different family.
