Summer Semester

So, most everyone should know that I have to take one summer class so that I can graduate this August. And the class that I am taking is French 101. Last week was the first week of classes. I have class every day of the week. Lecture is Monday - Friday, an extra lecture on Tuesday, and then a lab on Friday (why do you need to go to lab for French, I'm still not sure...)

My first class in French was pretty crazy. Our professor is from an African country and has a strong accent. Most of the time that he talked was in French, which didn't help me because I didn't know any French, and I'm not much of a "learn through immersion" person. He doesn't seem to explain things or give definitions much, which would be nice. The very first class he asked us to say our name and where we were from, but he didn't tell us how to say so in French, which I thought was ridiculous, but the first student he asked knew how to, so everyone seemed to just repeat what he said.

Since then it's gotten a little better, but I'm still not really keen on the class. Plus French is just a crazy language. They like to put letters in their words that they don't even say (mainly the letter 'T' that I've seen so far).

I just hope that the semester goes by fast and I get a good grade. Besides, all I need to graduate is get a 'C' in the class, so hopefully, I should be good to go!
