What a wonderful day! Worked out, got ready, had breakfast, did my devotional, some homework and headed to class. Since it's Wednesday, I had my news and francophone class again. News was very interesting. A group presented on nuclear energy and the recent protest in Paris where 20,000 joined hands and made a human chain in various points of importance within the city. They discussed their news article and then lead a class discussion, mind you all in French. It was really cool. Had a quick bite to eat (curry chicken wrap from Tasty Toast right across from the university for 2,90 euros) then went to francophone class which was a review on everything we've learned since we have an exam next Wednesday.
After class I quickly made my way to another classroom where my teacher set up a French movie screening with une dégustation afterwards (trying French cheeses and wines). The French movie (Les Saveurs du Palais) is based off a true story of Danièle Delpeuch (a self-taught cook) who became the personal chef of French President Mitterand for two years because he wanted simple country styled meals instead of the high cuisine he was surrounded by. Link to a NYT article about it: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/27/world/europe/culinary-battles-of-mitterrands-chef-go-from-kitchen-to-screen.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
Then we had a wine/cheese tasting that was really good! Basically all of the cheeses were from cows (instead of sheep and goat--bleghhhh) so that was good! It was such good time of sharing some laughs and experiences with classmates. I really love them! Our class always has fun and we have some personalities who are so comical, lol. Everyone was taking pictures all over the place! On our way out of the university about to take our separate ways, we saw a huge rainbow (l'arc en ciel) in the sky!! And perfect timing, it's the first day of spring! :)
