Hi!
I had a really good day today! (I feel like I start my blogs with that same sentence every time, sorry)
Wednesdays means getting out at 11 or 12 and that always makes me happy. Like always Solene had gym, but I didn't do the long jump today. I just watched for the two hours, and plus, the distance they jump is for a grade. It's much more strict in that way in France. They are not as lenient. For example, no re-dos, no test corrections, no anything like that.
After that was Italian! Solene got back her DS which is basically a monthly test that they take on all their subjects. Last Friday, she took the DS on math and history. They have one a month and the subjects switch each time until they all are covered.
Something I thought I should mention is that Solene is not on a certain "track" yet. In France, you choose a certain subject area to study and that's basically all you pursue. Solene is at the point where she studies all the subjects and next year she will choose her future career and work. A big decision isn't it?
After listening to the Italian class today, I realized that I really wished that we studied more languages. Italian is beautiful, and they must take two other languages. English is mandatory, and you an choose the other, ranging from German to Chinese to Italian to Greek to Spanish.
After taking the bus home, I just relaxed like I usually do. It's my last week in France, and I want to make the most of everything! Solene and her mom said I didn't have to go to school today but I wanted to. :)
It's also going to be weird switching classes for every class when I get home, because here they usually stay in one classroom for most of their classes; unless it's for a lab like for Physics.
Okay bonne nuit!
Alexandra
